Basbousa

Ingredients for the cake:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups semolina flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup plain yogurt (or 1 cup of whole milk)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 T baking soda
2 eggs
blanched sliced almonds, for garnish

* * * * * * *

Ingredients for honey glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup water
1 T honey
1 generous squeeze of lemon juice (or, 1 teaspoon lemon juice)

Preparing the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, combine the semolina and baking soda. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar; once fluffy, add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated.

Add the semolina and baking soda mixture bit by bit, stirring well after each addition. Once incorporated, add the yogurt (or milk) bit by bit, stirring after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter will be very thick.

Spoon the batter into the greased baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden around the edges.

While baking, prepare the honey glaze. Once the basbousa has come out of the oven, pour the glaze directly on to the still-hot cake, being sure to cover it uniformly. The glaze will sink into the cake, but the top should be slightly sticky. Top with the almonds. Let cool for at least 30 minutes; slice into squares or diamonds before serving.

* * * * * *

Preparing the honey glaze:

Heat sugar, water, and honey over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Let the mixture simmer for about five minutes; once it has reduced to a maple syrup sort of thickness, add the lemon juice and stir just until incorporated.

Falafel

Ingredients:
3 cups dried chickpeas
1 1/2 large onions, roughly chopped
6 T fresh parsley, finely chopped
6 T fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons baking powder
6 to 8 T all purpose flour

vegetable oil for frying

Preparing falafel:
Put the chickpeas in a large bowl and add enough cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches. Let soak overnight, and then drain.

Place the drained, uncooked chickpeas and the onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.

Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse. You want to add enough bulgur or flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands. Turn into a bowl and place in freezer, covered, for 1/2 hour.

Form the chickpea mixture into balls about the size of walnuts.

Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a deep pot or Dutch oven and fry 1 ball to test. If it falls apart, add a little flour. Then fry about 6 balls at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Serve with muhammara (red pepper walnut dip) and/or babaganouj, and flatbread.

Bastilla

Ingredients for the Bastilla
1 pound chicken breasts, skinned and boned
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups water
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 stick cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
3 eggs
8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed, or warka
4 T butter, melted
1 T granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped blanched
almonds

* * * * * * *

Ingredients for the warka dough (in lieu of phyllo dough)
8 ounces high gluten bread flour
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups water
1 T cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 T extra virgin olive oil
extra virgin olive oil for dough
3 T vegetable oil (for brushing the pastry leaves on their shiny side)

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparing the warka:
Combine the two flours and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Turn the machine on and off once to sift. With the machine on, add almost l cup of the water and the vinegar. Once the dough forms a smooth ball, add the oil through the tube. Process the dough for 30 seconds. With the machine still running, slowly pour in the remaining water and process another 30 to 45 seconds, or until you have a smooth liquid batter. Pour batter into a 1 quart container, cover and refrigerate overnight ideally.

Set a deep pot of water on the stove and bring to a fast boil. Choose a non-stick skillet that sits snugly over the pot and secure with string. Before making the first pastry leaf, use a silicon brush to oil the skillet then wipe it dry with a paper towel.

Use a bristle brush to stir up the batter. Before making each leaf, stir the batter, lift up the brush thick with batter and quickly brush the batter evenly over the skillet. Use a circular motion to create a thin film-like layer. If necessary, repeat stirring and applying a thinner second layer across the circle in order to coat any empty spaces. Don’t worry about lacy edges or tiny cracks in the center. Cook the leaf for about 2 minutes, or until it turns completely white, the edges begin to curl, and it is still supple. Note that the pastry is only cooked on one side.

Use your fingertips to lift the pastry off the skillet from one of the sides, transfer to a paper towel, shiny and cooked side up, quickly brush all over the shiny side with oil, cover with another paper towel and gently press to remove excess oil. Leave the paper on the pastry.

Stir up the batter and make another pastry leaf as described above, and repeat oiling and covering with paper towels. Stack each leaf with its paper towel over the previous one. When all the batter is used, slide the stack (paper and leaves) into a plastic bag to keep them from drying out. The package can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days, or you can double wrap and freeze.

* * * * * *

Preparing the Bastilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large stock pot, add the chicken, water, parsley, cilantro, cinnamon stick, ginger, black pepper and saffron. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Remove chicken from stock and allow to cool enough to handle. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Strain the stock, discarding solids left in the strainer, then bring it to a boil over medium heat. Lightly beat eggs and pour slowly into the stock, stirring until curds form, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, add the chicken and almonds to the stock/egg mixture.

In a small bowl, mix the white sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Remove the phyllo from its box, unwrapping the plastic and unfolding the sheets or if you are doing the warka dough recipe unwrap leaves. Keep the sheets/leaves covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Brush one sheet of dough with butter, then place another sheet on top of it. Lay 4 sheets one on top of the other, with butter in between each layer. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the top sheet of phyllo or warka leaves.

With a sharp knife, cut the sheets lengthwise into thirds and cut each length crosswise into fifths, making 15 sections, each approximately 4- x 3 1/2-inches in size.

Place a level teaspoon of the filling in the center of each phyllo/warka section. Working with one section at a time, gather the corners of the phyllo/warka over the filling and twist them gently to create a purse-like shape. Transfer the pastries to a parchment lined sheet pan.

Bake the pastries in the lower third of a preheated 375 degree F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden.

Sift the powdered sugar-cinnamon mixture over the baked pastries.

Pita Bread

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups tepid water (80 to 90 degrees F)
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 T salt
1 T olive oil
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour

Preparing the dough:
Stir the yeast and water together in a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon and stirring in one direction, add the whole wheat flour, about a cup at a time; then stir 100 times, or until the mixture looks smooth and silky. This is the sponge that needs to rest covered with plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours in a cool place.

Sprinkle the salt over the sponge and then stir in the olive oil, mixing well, again stirring in the same direction. Add the all purpose flour a cup at a time, mixing until the dough is too stiff to mix with the spoon. Scrape into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. The dough will be moderately firm and have a slight sheen.

Rinse the mixing bowl, dry it and coat it lightly with oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours or until it doubles in bulk.

You can bake in the oven or on the stove top. To bake in the oven, place a baking stone or quarry tiles in the bottom rack of your oven. If you do not have these, you can also use a sheet pan.

Preheat to 450 degrees F.

Deflate the dough by kneading it briefly. Divide it in half and keep one half under plastic or a cloth while you work with the other. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and with the light floured cupped hands, form the pieces into tight balls; keep the balls under plastic while you work on the others. On a well floured surface, flatted the balls of dough into a circle 8 to 9 inches in diameter and less than 1/4 inch thick. Cover, but do not stack the rolled out breads.

Place the dough on the preheated stone and bake for 3-5 minutes or until the breads resemble well blown-up balloons. As the breads come out of the oven, wrap the together in a large kitchen towel. Finish baking this batch of bread, roll out the remaining dough and continue baking.

To bake on the stove top, preheat a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium high heat and lightly oil. Bake one rolled out circle at a time, putting the pita top side down on the pan cooking for 20 seconds before turning over. Cook for another minute until big bubbles appear. Turn again and cook until it balloons completely.

Makes 16 pitas

This panelle is similar to grilled polenta, only it's made with chickpeas instead of corn.

Ingredients for the panelle:
salt
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lemon, zested
1 cup canned or cooked chickpeas, crushed
