Meatball tajine

Meatball tajine

You can tell I love it! It's throw it all in one pot easy!

Form the meatballs, brown them in some oil in a large pot, add tomato sauce, sun dried tomatoes. Carrots, potatoes, zucchini, onion and garlic go in. Finish with cinnamon sticks, salt, black pepper, ginger (fresh or dry).. throw in a handful of raisins and dried chopped apricots and cover with stock. Simmer until veggies are tender, finish with fresh chopped parsley.

String Cheese




































































A fun salad of Armenian string cheese (found in Middle eastern supermarkets and grocers) Layered with fresh tomato and mint.

The string cheese has to be soaked briefly to remove the salt and tenderize, it is fresh, briny and stretchy... and has a hint of black seed flavour (due to the seeds present in between the strands)

It's absolutely delicious and this is a wonderful way to enjoy it!
