Date Besboosa بسبوسة التمر

I came across this recipe a few years ago in an Arabic cooking forum. I immediately fell in love with it. Unlike other date cakes I tried, this besboosa is very light, moist, and fluffy. The semolina flour enhances the texture allowing it to hold shape and be moist at the same time without the extra fat. It is an extremely-easy-all-go-in-the-blender recipe.

Teboola تبولة

Ahem, Mom made this. I just helped by eating washing the bulgur.

Teboola is the most famous salad in the Middle East and it is widely known around the world. This is my all time favorite salad. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, pleasing to the eye and very easy to eat. Don’t you just hate fighting with huge chunks of tomatoes and cucumbers and skip salad just for spite? Well, this is the perfect utensil-free salad! Scoop some with lettuce leaves; hold the lettuce like a sandwich and eat!
