We love making classic dishes with an emphasis on quality ingredients. Our daily dishes today are chicken molokhiya or the okra and lamb stew. نحب صنع أطباق كلاسيكية بالتركيز على الجودة في المكونات. أطباقنا اليومية اليوم هي ملوخية الدجاج أو يخنة الباميا واللحمة. 💚 #AreeshAmwaj #dailydishes #molokhiya #homestyle #inbahrain #bh_eat #foodbahrain #arabicfood #amwajisland #traditionalfood

Roasted Pumpkin Hummus topped with braised Indian spiced lamb. An Ottoman Empire / Mughal Empire mash-up. Different factions of the same culture have had far reaching influence on cuisine, through the course of hundreds of years of dominion over many nations. What's more fascinating is that though these two once powerful Empires dissolved, the cuisine did not. Cuisine, though shaped by climate, region, economy, and politics, interestingly lives on through the love and passion of cooks (home or professional) who pass on traditions, from one generation to the next; not necessarily as a symbol of its history, but that of the human capacity to make something beautiful despite the upheavals of warfare, persecution, and inevitable decline of great Empires. You know...everyday stuff! . . This is extremely delicious!! Pumpkin is fairly watery, so when you add it to your chickpeas and other hummus ingredients this puree requires very little oil, making it both nourishing and darn tasty. It's a lusciously thick and different take on dal. It's nice to change up how you consume hummus or hummus like dips, especially if you're looking for an alternative to the same old standby starchy sides of rice, potatoes, or pasta. One of the key ingredients to be generous with a pumpkin dish, in my opinion, is fresh lemon juice. Otherwise, it's basically baby food, which is totally cool if you are a baby, or a pie . . . #monitasen #torontofoodie #foodphotographyandstyling #foodphotography #foodwriting #fbci #tophomecooking #the6ix #saveur #bonappetit #tastingtable #f52grams #homecooking #homemade #muhammara #foodporn #foodgasm #foodstagram #instafoodie #instafood #instafoodie #instacooking #instapicoftheday #foodmemories #arabicfood #roastedredpeppers #dips #levantine #pumpkinhummus #indianfood #fusion
