Sultan's Kitchen

NOOOOOOOOOO! Its liquid. Its like a really heavy milk. There are some kinds of creams that are sweetened with vanilla and sugar because they are for baking, like Bavarian style whipping cream. Just buy plain ol" heavy cream from the dairy section. It comes in small pints (like milk).

I would only feel sorry for your husband if you actually put Cool whip on the shrimp.

OK I'm going to look for it today! Thanks

P.S. I did actually use cool whip in that recipe... ended up using a lot more than a tablespoon because it absolutely would NOT thicken (wonder why ).... it was soooooooooo sweet and nasty anyone who's had this at the Olive Garden knows it's not really supposed to be that sweet. Thank God he wasn't here so he didn't get to taste my failed experiment. I also tried it with sweetened condensed milk which was as nasty as whip cream.

Wow, I'm really glad you asked. I found this chart online, it tells you what to use for alcohol substitutions in recipes.

Good Luck!

Are you volunteering?

Here is a board if anyone is interested. I personally hate going through a long message trying to find something. If not, I will keep it for my own organization

Hey everyone, that board that Rebecca made is really nice and easy to navigate. I have moved all the recipes from this thread and posted them there (giving credit to the original poster) I hope you all use that board for recipes because its sooooo much easier than searching through one long thread. Plus there is a section for requsts!

Aww, thanks so much for copying them over JP. I hope to add more this weekend.

No prob, it really it a great idea and soooo much easier. I hope everyone starts using it. I plan to add some this weekend too!

I mean they opened another forum just for MENA recipe...(see earlier posts for the links) so I was making a joke that the Sultan;s kitchen is closed

No way.... Sultan's never closes -- it's 24-hours a day, 7 days a week !

This thread is great for posting new finds or classic recipes or answering requests.... and the other site is great when you're searching for a specific recipe or a specific category of food.

We need 'em both !

Kanafeh

2 Packages Shredded Phyllo Dough

Kanafeh Food Coloring

1 Stick of unsalted butter, melted

2 packages of Nabulsi sweet cheese, sliced into 1/4" thick slices

Raw pistachios

Large Pan

Sugar Syrup without any rose or orange water, just plain syrup(if you need the recipe let me know)

1. After the dough is thawed, mix in some of the melted butter and mix. You may not need all of it, we just need to coat the dough and get it separated. Mix in the Kanafeh coloring (its powder), use as much as you like until you get the shade of orange you like. I have never used regular food coloring for this so I don't know the results.

2. In the large pan, spread out about half the phyllo and pat it down. Make sure the bottom is fully covered.

3. Lay the slices of cheese side by side on top of the dough.

4. Cover the cheese with the remaining phyllo dough. Make sure all the cheese is covered well! Also make sure the corners are covered too. Pat it down for an even look.

5. Bake it until the cheese melts and the top is a bit crunchy. Pour the cooled syrup on top. Don't put too much, some people don't like it dripping. You can always add extra syrup to individual pieces as they are being served.

6 If you like you can garnish each piece with sound ground raw pistachios.

Enjoy!

VP did you ever find that date syrup you were looking for?

I went to this arab food store and seen two kinds one from syria and one from iraq. One was in a can and one in a bottle and I thought about you and wondered if you ever found it????
