CULINARY CORNER Special from Daisy Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--------------------------------------------------------------
All about Bahrain: Lamb is the principal meat here, while
chicken, turkey and duck are also eaten. Arak (grape spirit
flavored with aniseed) and beer are the most common drinks.
Typical Arabic food is similar to that in other Middle
Eastern countries. The traditional food includes e.g. mezze
as a starter and sweet desserts like umm ali (baked gratiné
of milk with nuts and raisins) or baklawa (a cake with honey
and pistachios). Main courses are often meat or fish with
vegetables or rice, e.g. makbous (spicy lamb meat with rice),
shish tahouk (grilled chicken on a skewer with a yogurt-,
garlic- or tomato sauce) or sayadiaya (fish with rice and
tomato- or onion sauce).
(Fakhitha Bel Laban) - Leg of Lamb with Yogurt 1 leg of lamb,
1 1/2 cups yogurt, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 6 cloves
crushed garlic (optional), 1 teaspoon each: black pepper,
cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, saffron, salt to taste, 9
tablespoons corn oil, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise.
Clean the meat, slash in several places and put in a baking
dish. Mix the spices, salt, garlic, yogurt, tomato paste,
mayonnaise and oil. Spread half of the mixture over the meat.
Put the meat back in the dish, cover with foil, and put in
the oven at 350° until the meat is cooked. Just before
serving pour the remaining yogurt mixture on top of the meat.
(Qahwa Arabeya) - Arabic Coffee
3 cups water, 3 tablespoons cardamom (coarsely ground), 2
tablespoons of Arabic coffee, 1/4 teaspoon saffron
(optional). Boil the water in a pot. Add the coffee to the
water and bring to a boil over low heat. Remove from the heat
for five minutes to allow the coffee to settle. Put the
cardamom in the pot, strain the coffee into it and add the
saffron. Bring back to boil once and serve. Serves 8-10
persons.
