Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup of the chopped pistachios. Set aside.,In a small saucepan, pour the sugar, 2/3 cup water and lemon juice. Turn on the heat to medium low and allow the sugar to dissolve. When the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes until the mixture is glossy and has thickened. Low heat will help to evaporate the liquid without burning the sugar.,Meanwhile mix together the cornstarch, 1 cup of water, cream of tartar, and gelatin powder. If you are not using gelatin, leave it out. Whisk to get rid of any lumps and slowly start adding this mixture to the sugar pot while continuously whisking. Wear a kitchen glove at this step to prevent any splatter from getting on you. Continue to whisk occasionally on medium to low heat every 5 minutes for 20 minutes. If you are not using gelatin you will need to cook the mixture for longer, 30 to 35 minutes. Keep whisking consistently to prevent any lumps from forming. The cornstarch will first dissolve, then the mixture will turn almost transparent before turning a light golden brown colour. It will become stretchy, thick and gluey.,At this point you can test the consistency of the candy by dipping a spoonful in cold ice water. The candy should thicken and form a ball.,Turn off the heat and add the rose water and red food colouring. Stir to combine. Add in 1/2 cup of the chopped pistachios and mix well. Pour the mixture in the prepared pan. Working quickly, spread and smooth out the mixture. Sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup of the chopped pistachios and quickly and carefully press them into the base to ensure they stick well. Keep uncovered on the counter at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.,The next day, mix the powdered sugar and the cornstarch together in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mixture evenly over a clean surface. Flip or place the Turkish delight on to it and remove the parchment or foil paper. Dust the top with an additional 1/3 of the powdered sugar mixture. Use an oiled knife to cut the Turkish delight into 36 small squares. Place in a bowl and dust with the remaining 1/3 of the powdered sugar mixture and gently shake to ensure all sides are coated to prevent stickiness.,Store in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper between every layer. It will keep up to 1 month. | {'Serving': '1 piece', 'Calories': '88 kcal', 'Carbohydrates': '16 g', 'Protein': '2 g', 'Fat': '2 g', 'Saturated Fat': '0.3 g', 'Polyunsaturated Fat': '1 g', 'Monounsaturated Fat': '1 g', 'Sodium': '2 mg', 'Potassium': '53 mg', 'Fiber': '1 g', 'Sugar': '12 g', 'Vitamin A': '21 IU', 'Vitamin C': '0.3 mg', 'Calcium': '6 mg', 'Iron': '0.2 mg'} | turkish |

Set over medium heat and cook, stirring often, for 25 minutes. Gently press and turn as you stir; They will start to break apart and soften and most of the liquid will absorb.,Add the chili peppers and keep on stirring and cooking over a medium-low heat for another 10 minutes. By the end of this time the peppers will be cooked and the moisture evaporated. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.,Place the cooked peppers in a food processor and process until the mixture is almost a smooth purée (I like a little texture).,Return the puréed peppers to the pot, season with the salt and cook over a low heat for a further 30–35 minutes, stirring continuously so the purée doesn’t burn, until the juices have evaporated. The purée will shrink by half and turn into a soft paste. Remove from the heat.,Pour the paste into a clean glass jar, and gently push down and shake a little to settle. Top with the extra virgin olive oil and seal with a lid. Allow to cool, then store your prepared paste in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '36.3', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '5.5', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '1.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '0.2', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '0.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '471', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '194.2', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '1.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '3.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '2364.1', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Vitamin C:', 'value': '110.8', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '8.3', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '0.5', 'unit': 'mg'}] | turkish |

Best Homemade Doner Kebab with Chicken (Tavuk Döner) | Serves – 8 | 20mins | 20mins | 3hrs | 40 mins | Entree | [{'section_title': '', 'ingredients': [{'amount': '3 to 4', 'unit': 'pounds', 'name': 'boneless skinless chicken thighs,', 'notes': '10 to 12 chicken thighs'}, {'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Kosher salt and black pepper', 'notes': ''}]}, {'section_title': 'For the marinade:', 'ingredients': [{'amount': '½', 'unit': 'cup', 'name': 'whole milk yogurt', 'notes': ''}, {'amount': '6 to 7', 'unit': 'tablespoons', 'name': 'tomato paste,', 'notes': 'a small 6-ounce can'}, {'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Zest and juice of 2 lemons', 'notes': ''}, {'amount': '8', 'unit': '', 'name': 'garlic cloves,', 'notes': 'minced'}, {'amount': '2 ½', 'unit': 'teaspoons', 'name': '', 'notes': ''}, {'amount': '2', 'unit': 'teaspoons', 'name': '', 'notes': ''}, {'amount': '1', 'unit': 'teaspoons', 'name': '', 'notes': 'more if you like it spicy (you can also add a dash of cayenne)'}, {'amount': '1', 'unit': 'teaspoon', 'name': '', 'notes': ''}]}, {'section_title': 'Sauce (choose)', 'ingredients': [{'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Tahini sauce,', 'notes': 'use'}, {'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': '', 'notes': 'use'}, {'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Yogurt sauce,', 'notes': 'use this'}]}, {'section_title': 'To serve in wraps', 'ingredients': [{'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': '', 'notes': ''}, {'amount': '2', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Tomatoes,', 'notes': 'halved and sliced'}, {'amount': '1', 'unit': '', 'name': 'onion,', 'notes': 'halved and sliced'}, {'amount': '1', 'unit': '', 'name': 'English cucumber,', 'notes': 'halved and sliced'}]}, {'section_title': 'To serve on plates or platters', 'ingredients': [{'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Rice,', 'notes': 'use this'}, {'amount': '', 'unit': '', 'name': 'Salad,', 'notes': 'try'}]}] | In a large mixing bowl, add the yogurt, tomato paste, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Mix well to combine.,Pat the chicken dry and season well with kosher salt and black pepper on each side.,Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to make sure each piece is well-coated with the marinade. If you have the time, I highly recommend you cover and refrigerate the chicken for 3 hours or up to overnight. Otherwise, allow the chicken to sit in the marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or so while you prepare the fixings/sides and heat up the grill (or your oven). (You’ll get better results of you let the chicken marinate longer).,Divide the chicken thighs into two piles. Using a set of 2 to 3 metal skewers at a time, thread the first pile chicken thighs through, and push them snug against each other. (It helps to prop the skewers on the edges of a pan or a bowl. And if your chicken thighs are too large, you can fold them each in half and thread them through). Repeat with another set of 2 to 3 skewers to thread the second pile of chicken on.,Heat the grill to 400 degrees F (for my grill, this would me medium-high heat). Arrange the kebabs on grates and close the grill. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes on one side until nicely charred, then turn over and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (a total of 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken thighs).,Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a large pan with edges or walls, arrange the kebabs on top of the pan such that the metal skewers are resting on the edges (or walls of the pan) with some room between the chicken and the bottom of the pan. Put the pan on the middle rack of your heated oven. Roast for about 30 to 35 minutes until the surface is golden brown and charred in some parts. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully turn the skewers over, brush the top of chicken with the pan juices and return the pan to the oven for another 20 minutes (longer if you have larger pieces). You’ll cook the kebabs in the oven for anywhere between 50 minutes to 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.,Remove the chicken off the heat and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.,Prop the skewers upright on a slight angle. Using a sharp knife (held in your dominant hand), slice the meat thinly from top to bottom or however you’re able to do it safely.,For more traditional doner kebabs, use a loaf of pita bread to wrap some of the chicken in, adding your sauce and sliced vegetables (or one of the salads listed above). Alternatively, you can serve kebab plates by arranging the chicken next to (or over) a bed of Middle Eastern rice with your salad and sauce to the side. | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '241.1', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '7.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '34.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '8.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '2.4', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '1.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '2.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Trans Fat:', 'value': '0.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Cholesterol:', 'value': '163.6', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '332.1', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '631', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '1.9', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '2.9', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '448.8', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Vitamin C:', 'value': '18', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '56.7', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '2.4', 'unit': 'mg'}] | turkish |

Line an 11 by 7 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease with butter.,Using an electric hand whisk or stand mixer, beat the egg whites in a clean large bowl for 2 minutes until fluffy and doubled in size. Add in the lemon juice and beat for an additional 2 minutes until soft peaks are formed.,In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg yolks with the vanilla and the sugar until pale yellow. Add the milk and mix to combine.,Sift the flour and the baking powder into the egg yolk mixture and fold with a spatula until no more flour clumps can be seen, being careful not to over mix as this build up the gluten in the flour and creates a tough cake.,Add 1/4 of the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture and mix to combine. Add the egg yolk mixture to the rest of the egg whites and fold with a spatula until the batter is fully combined and no white streaks can be seen.,Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.,In a small saucepan, add the sugar and melt over medium to medium high heat for a maximum of 5 minutes. As the sugar starts to melt, take a spatula or wooden spoon and push the sugar from the middle to the outer edges, bringing the melted outer edges in. This helps to allow the sugar to melt evenly. The sugar will melt and turn golden.,Take the pan off the heat and add the butter, whisking continuously to combine. Bring the pan back on the heat and add the whipping cream. Be careful as the mixture may splatter. It will look like the caramel is seizing and separating but continue mixing and it will come back together. Boil for 1 minute then set aside in a glass jar to cool to room temperature.,In a medium bowl or measuring cup, mix together the milk, condensed milk and evaporated milk.,After the cake has cooled for 5 minutes, poke the cake with a fork all over the surface to create tiny holes for the soaking mixture to soak into.,Pour over the milk mixture. It may seem like a lot but it will continue to soak into the cake as it rests. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour or until serving.,Before serving the cake, whip the whipping cream with the sugar in a large bowl to form soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the cake and level with a spatula to form a flat surface.,Slowly and carefully drizzle the cooled caramel sauce over the cream layer and spread or swirl with a toothpick.

Once it boils, lower to a simmer for 7 minutes. Allow to cool,To prepare the filling, grind the walnuts in a food processor until you achieve a coarse consistency (as pictured). Each walnut should break up to about a fifth of its size,Mix the walnuts with the ground cardamom and also add 3/4 cups simple syrup (leave the rest for later). Mix until it looks well combined and wet,Melt the butter and mix it with the vegetable oil,Unwrap the first filo pastry box (it dries out so work fast). Measure the dimensions against your pan (I used a 13 inch by 18 inch pan) and snip any excess using scissors. The filo sheets should sit inside the pan up to the edges,Start the layering process by brushing the bottom of the pan generously with the butter/oil. Then layer 3 sheets of filo on top, ensuring you press down and remove air bubbles as best as you can every time you add a sheet,Brush the third layer of filo generously with the butter/oil, then continue layering, brushing every third layer. If you are using 10 or 11 sheets, also brush the top most layer with butter/oil (even if it is not the third sheet). If you have more sheets, feel free to use up to 15 layers,Spoon the walnut mixture onto the filo pastry covering it all evenly and pack it down using the back of a spoon or your hand,Unwrap the second box of filo pastry and measure it the same way. Then start layering the filo sheets and brush every third sheet generously with butter/oil, making sure you remove air bubbles. Continue until you reach the top, and also brush the top generously with butter/oil,Using a sharp knife, make straight cuts parallel to the long edge of the pan, roughly 1 inch in size. Hold down the pastry gently as you cut, and use a rocking motion so the pastry does not drag out of place. You should be able to fit 8-10 rows if using the same size pan. You can also cut them bigger for an easier option,Then make diagonal cuts running from one corner of the pan all the way to the opposite corner to create diamond shapes (refer to video). Go over all the cuts twice to ensure you cut all the layers,Bake for 45-50 minutes until the Baklawa is a light golden colour,Take it out of the oven and pour the remaining cooled simple syrup on top. You may hear a splashing sound and that’s okay!,Optional: garnish with crushed pistachios and rose petals,Allow the Baklawa to cool completely before serving.

Sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt and arrange on a large tray lined with paper towels. Leave for 30 minutes to allow the eggplant to "sweat.",Arrange a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 400°F.,Pat the eggplant slices dry and brush both sides generously with extra virgin olive oil. Discard the paper towels, then lightly oil the baking sheet and arrange eggplant slices on top, making sure to space them out well. Roast in heated oven for 20 minutes, then flip and roast until the eggplant is golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in your refrigerator, allowing the eggplant to come to room temperature before serving.,Pat the fish dry and place it in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, paprika, and Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, and a generous dash of salt and pepper. Mix well, then sprinkle the fish evenly with the spices. Add the garlic, then use your hands to rub in the spices and garlic. Squeeze the juice from two lemons over the fish, then refrigerate while you prepare the fixings and warm the oil (about 10 to 20 minutes).,Prepare the tahini sauce according to this recipe. Thinly slice the cucumber and tomato. If you’re serving with olives, smash them with the side of your knife and remove their pits (if necessary.) Cut any pickles into sandwich-size pieces.,In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Mix well, then remove the fish from the fridge and coat each fillet on both sides with the flour mixture. Shake gently to get rid of excess flour.,Line a large plate with paper towels and set near your stove. In a medium nonstick skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet by about 2-inches. Heat over medium heat until the oil begins to bubble, then gently arrange the fish in the skillet. The oil may not cover the fish fully, and that is okay, but if your skillet is too small to fit all the fish do this in batches, replenishing the oil as necessary. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes, then use a spatula to carefully flip the fish. Cook on the other side until crispy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.,Use the spatula to transfer the fish to the paper towel-lined plate. Hit it with lemon juice from the remaining lemon immediately.,Open up the pita pockets and spread a bit of the tahini sauce on one side of the pita. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, arugula, pickles and a couple of roasted eggplant slices, if using. Add the fish and finish with more tahini sauce. Serve immediately, with extra olives and/or pickles on the side for snacking between bites! | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '307.2', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '48.4', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '26.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '1.9', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '0.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '0.8', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '0.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Cholesterol:', 'value': '48.8', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '333.3', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '899.7', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '6.4', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '5.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '641.3', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Vitamin C:', 'value': '36.3', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '70.4', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '3.1', 'unit': 'mg'}] | egyptian |

Once it looks like the flavors have melded, turn off your food processor. Taste a little and adjust the seasoning or lime juice to your taste.,When the cauliflower steaks are cooked to your liking, remove the tray from the oven. Spread the cauliflower steaks onto your serving dish and then spoon the chermoula dressing over top just before serving. | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '322.1', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '18.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '4.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '27.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '4', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '2.9', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '19.8', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Cholesterol:', 'value': '0.2', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '203.3', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '579.7', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '4.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '10.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '1060.1', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Vitamin C:', 'value': '87.6', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '70.6', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '1.9', 'unit': 'mg'}] | moroccan |

You can also do this with your hand or a spoon.,Add the oil to the dry ingredients and combine on medium speed, until the oil is fully incorporated, which should take a few seconds.,Then add the water and yeast mixture and continue to mix on medium speed.,Slowly and gradually add the yogurt plus the 1.5 remaining cups of water and continue to knead for at least 5 to 7 minutes.,The dough is ready when it feels moist but not too sticky and starts to come away from the bowl. If it feels dry add a bit more water and if it’s too moist add a bit of flour. A moist dough will yield a soft texture which is what you’re looking for.,Using oil, bring the dough together into a ball, cover with cling film and a tea towel and allow it to rise for at least an hour.,Pro tip: To cut down the time for the dough to rise, fill a mug with water and heat it in the microwave until it starts to steam. Turn off the microwave, keep the mug inside and place your dough inside and close the door. This will create a moist environment and allow the dough to rise faster!,Preheat your oven to 450F and start by finely dicing the onion and parsley. You can also do this in a food processor, but make sure you squeeze out any excess liquid.,Then combine all the ingredients under “for the filing” together and mix very well by hand. To try it and adjust seasoning you can cook off a small piece and taste.,Once mixture is well combined and the dough has risen, start by rolling out the dough either into medium sized circular shapes (as pictured) or for a faster option, roll to the size of a large rectangular sheet pan.,Make sure you roll dough using a lightly floured surface and rolling pin to a really thin layer.,Lightly flour the sheet pans and lay the dough on the pan carefully. You can also use a pizza stone and a pizza peel lined with parchment paper.,Spoon the meat mixture on the dough and spread into a thin layer using your hands, ensuring you go all the way up to the edges, and ensuring the filing layer is not too thick.,Place it in the oven at 450F on bake for approx. 7-10 mins on the bottom rack. Watch closely and check for when the bottom is cooked through, then transfer to top rack to broil for 5-7 minutes until the meat is fully cooked.,Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a cup of tea! | {'Serving': '1 g', 'Calories': '137 kcal', 'Carbohydrates': '20 g', 'Protein': '7 g', 'Fat': '3 g', 'Saturated Fat': '1 g', 'Polyunsaturated Fat': '0.3 g', 'Monounsaturated Fat': '2 g', 'Trans Fat': '0.1 g', 'Cholesterol': '12 mg', 'Sodium': '428 mg', 'Potassium': '204 mg', 'Fiber': '1 g', 'Sugar': '3 g', 'Vitamin A': '128 IU', 'Vitamin C': '3 mg', 'Calcium': '22 mg', 'Iron': '2 mg'} | iraqi |

Add the water and mix until a shaggy dough comes together, adding more as necessary to bring the dough together.,Use a mixer on medium speed to knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Or, transfer the dough to a flat surface like the kitchen table or a marble slab and use your hands to knead until nicely smooth and elastic, 5-10 minutes.,Form the dough into a ball and brush with olive oil all over. Return to a clean mixing bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set aside at room temperature to rest for about 30 minutes.,By now, the dough should have relaxed and spread around a bit. Divide into 8 rolls, set on a well-oiled surface (like a sheet tray coated with olive oil), and let rest for about 5 minutes.,Set up a work surface, like a clean countertop or extra large cutting board, with a layer of olive oil and place the bun in the middle. Dip your fingers in olive oil and start poking dimples in the dough to spread it around. Stretch the dough as much as you can. It's ok if it tears a bit at this point. Attempt to make a shape similar to a circle.,Pick up one side and fold it towards the middle, repeat with all four sides so you end up with an approximate square. Repeat with the remaining 7 dough rolls.,Get a large, non-stick pan heating over medium. Place the first square of dough you stretched back on your work surface. Stretch it again using your fingers until it becomes a square of the size of about 7"x7".,When your pan is hot (or when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly), pick the raw flatbread up very gently using both hands and quickly transfer it to the hot surface. Sear until it’s cooked through and browned in spots, about a minute or two on each side. The bread is oil-saturated enough so that you don’t have to add any more.,Use immediately or wrap in plastic to prevent drying and store for up to 3 days | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '278.8', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '57.7', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '8.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '0.8', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '0.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '0.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '0.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '294.3', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '103.5', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '2.4', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '0.1', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '1', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '13.7', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '3.5', 'unit': 'mg'}] | moroccan |

Bring to a boil over high heat, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes, then drain.,Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Mash them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped parsley. It will feel like too much parsley but trust me, this is what makes or breaks the flavor. Let the mixture cool off a bit before using it.,Set up individual prep bowls to make it easier to work quickly: one for tuna, another for capers.,Line a large plate with paper towels. In a large, non-stick pan, pour in 1/2 cup olive oil and set on medium heat.,Ensure your hands are dry anytime you work with filo pastry. Place 2 sheets of filo on top of each other on a plate or a marble slab. Fold them in half, then roll two sides towards the center to get an approximate square shape for the base.,Place 1/4 of the potato filling in one corner of the prepared pastry square, making sure enough of a bare edge is left around it. Spread it in an even layer without covering more than half of the square.,Create a bit of an egg shaped well in the filling. Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl, then slide it into the well. Sprinkle tuna and capers over top to taste.,Moisten the edge of the dough using your finger and a bit of water. Carefully fold the empty side over the filling to form the typical triangle shape. Light pressure along the sides will be sufficient to bind the sides together so that the filling doesn’t escape when frying.,Now slide the whole Brik into the hot oil and quickly fry until just golden, turning once. If you are trying to achieve that nice, runny egg yolk, pay a lot of attention to your timing as it only takes about 2-3 minutes per side.,Immediately transfer the Brik to the towel-lined plate to dry off the excess oil. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, cracking the egg into the bowl each time. Enjoy the brik with a nice squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of capers and chopped parsley. | [{'label': 'Calories:', 'value': '334.6', 'unit': 'kcal'}, {'label': 'Carbohydrates:', 'value': '32.2', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Protein:', 'value': '16.5', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Fat:', 'value': '15.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Saturated Fat:', 'value': '3.3', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Polyunsaturated Fat:', 'value': '2.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Monounsaturated Fat:', 'value': '8.6', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Trans Fat:', 'value': '0.02', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Cholesterol:', 'value': '167.5', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Sodium:', 'value': '952.1', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Potassium:', 'value': '463.5', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Fiber:', 'value': '3.2', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Sugar:', 'value': '0.9', 'unit': 'g'}, {'label': 'Vitamin A:', 'value': '1548.9', 'unit': 'IU'}, {'label': 'Vitamin C:', 'value': '32.1', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Calcium:', 'value': '67.9', 'unit': 'mg'}, {'label': 'Iron:', 'value': '4.1', 'unit': 'mg'}] | moroccan |

Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast, and start at the thicker end. Using a sharp chef's knife, start cutting the breast in half while holding the breast down using your palm. Make gentle cuts until you reach the thinner end. You will have 2 flat pieces per chicken breast, that are roughly the same size and thickness. These pieces are called escalopes.,Keep the escalope pieces on the cutting board and place them side by side. Cover them with a layer of plastic wrap, then pound them with a meat mallet, a heavy pan, or a rolling pin.,The escalope pieces should be about half the thickness that it was before pounding. Repeat with the other chicken breasts.,Season the chicken on each side with the salt and pepper.,Combine the flour with the salt and pepper in a wide and shallow bowl that will fit the chicken escalope.,Combine the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder, in a wide shallow bowl. Mix to combine. You may also use any other seasoning that you like.,Whisk the eggs in a wide shallow bowl,Set up your dredging station with the chicken, the flour, the eggs and the breadcrumbs in a row.,Dip each chicken piece in the flour and pat it down until well coated on both sides, then dip it into the eggs and flip it so both sides are dipped. Finally, place it in the breadcrumbs and coat with sides. Place the breaded escalope on a large sheet pan and repeat with the rest of the chicken pieces.,In a saute pan over medium low heat, heat up the oil until hot.,Place the chicken escalope in the pan and fry on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Depending on the size of your pan, fry the chicken in batches (I only fry 2 at a time) and avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.,If the chicken is browning too fast, lower the heat. Its best to stick to a medium low temperature to ensure the chicken cooks before the breadcrumbs turn too dark.,Place the fried escalopes on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all the chicken is fried.,Serve with a side of fries and cabbage salad. | {'Serving': '1 g', 'Calories': '530 kcal', 'Carbohydrates': '28 g', 'Protein': '43 g', 'Fat': '26 g', 'Saturated Fat': '5 g', 'Polyunsaturated Fat': '12 g', 'Monounsaturated Fat': '6 g', 'Trans Fat': '0.2 g', 'Cholesterol': '189 mg', 'Sodium': '1198 mg', 'Potassium': '725 mg', 'Fiber': '2 g', 'Sugar': '2 g', 'Vitamin A': '210 IU', 'Vitamin C': '4 mg', 'Calcium': '75 mg', 'Iron': '3 mg'} | iraqi |

Make a well in the middle and pour in the egg, water and olive oil. Use your hands to slowly draw the flour into the liquid until you have a dough.,On a flour-dusted work surface, knead the dough for about 3–4 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Season with salt to taste. Cover and set aside to bring to room temperature.,In a large mixing bowl, stir together the meat and onion (and any juices from the onion). Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Cover and set aside.,Grease a large sheet tray with a thin layer of olive oil. Preheat the oven to 350°F.,Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into round dough balls. Keep the dough covered with a lightly damp tea towel as you go to prevent it from drying.,Lightly flour a clean work surface. Working one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough as thinly as you can into a sheet, about 12 x 10 inches. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips, and then small squares, about 1-inch each.,Add a small spoonful of filling to the middle of each square (about the size of a chickpea). Pinch the opposite corners together to form a little pouch and press the seams together to seal firmly. Lightly flour your fingers if handling the dough becomes too sticky. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, placing the shaped manti in a single layer in the prepared sheet tray.,Bake the dumplings in the hot oven for 8- 10 minutes, until they start to become lightly golden. Set aside to cool before boiling (or freezing to use at a later date, see note).,Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, season the water well with salt and gently add the baked dumplings. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and simmer until the dumplings float, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return the cooked manti to the pan off the heat. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.,Heat the oil in a wide pan until shimmering, then add the pepper paste or the tomato paste. Stir in the Aleppo pepper, mint, and sumac. Simmer, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute.,Arrange the manti on a warm serving dish and spoon the garlic yogurt over the top. Drizzle with the spiced oil.

Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions and sauté for 10–12 minutes, stirring often until they’re softened and starting to caramelize. Add the tomato paste, and red pepper paste, and combine well, then set aside to cool.,Place the heaping 3/4 cup rinsed red lentils in a medium saucepan with 2 cups of hot water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer until the lentils are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface with a spoon and stir occasionally so that the lentils don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Drain off any leftover liquid – the cooked lentils will be the consistency of a thick, chunky purée. Set aside to cool in a large bowl.,In the same pan off heat, stir the 3/4 cup fine bulgur with the remaining scant 1 cup of hot water. Cover and let the bulgur absorb the water and soften for 5 minutes.,Into the bowl with the cooled lentils, add the bulgur, sautéed onions mixture, green onions, and parsley. Season with ground cumin, Aleppo pepper (if using), salt and pepper. Stir to combine–the mixture needs a good seasoning, adjust the salt to your taste.,Fill a medium bowl with room temperature water and a drizzle of olive oil. Slightly dampen your hands in the oily water, then knead the bulgur and lentil mixture for a couple of minutes until well combined. It will be a soft dough consistency. Check the seasoning and add more salt or spices to your taste, mix well.,Dampen your hands and take a large walnut-sized piece of the mixture and squeeze it gently in your hand like you're making a loose fist.

While the rice is in the bowl with water, use your hand to rub the grains together and break them up. Do this a few times until most of the grains are broken up.,Place the rice in a medium soup pot, along with all of the water (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil on medium heat. Allow the rice to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, covered, until the rice grains are very soft. Remove from the heat. The cooked rice is meant to be soupy.,While the rice is cooking, place the yogurt, egg, lemon juice, salt and flour in a bowl or measuring cup and whisk well to combine all the ingredients into a thick and creamy mixture.,When the rice is finished cooking, ladle a bit of the hot water from the rice pot into the yogurt mixture and whisk vigorously to combine. Continue to do this with 2-3 ladlefuls of the liquid. This process tempers the yogurt and ensures it does not split when added to the pot.,Once the yogurt is tempered, pour all of it into the soup pot with the rice and water. Whisk to combine all the ingredients, then simmer it on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust for salt.,In a small skillet, melt the butter. Then, add the dried mint and stir for 10-20 seconds. Do not leave the mint in for longer as it will burn quickly.,Pour the butter and mint drizzle into the soup pot and stir to combine.,Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with more dried mint and Aleppo pepper if desired. | {'Serving': '1 g', 'Calories': '116 kcal', 'Carbohydrates': '17 g', 'Protein': '5 g', 'Fat': '3 g', 'Saturated Fat': '2 g', 'Polyunsaturated Fat': '0.3 g', 'Monounsaturated Fat': '1 g', 'Trans Fat': '0.003 g', 'Cholesterol': '36 mg', 'Sodium': '448 mg', 'Potassium': '147 mg', 'Fiber': '0.4 g', 'Sugar': '3 g', 'Vitamin A': '149 IU', 'Vitamin C': '1 mg', 'Calcium': '108 mg', 'Iron': '1 mg'} | turkish |
