gum arabic is used in food as a stabilizer, like in candies, syrups, etc. you can buy it here.

It's winter squash season Post your recipes here! Last year, I bored AbuS by making the same butternut squash soup every week for 2 months. It was sooooooooo tasty, I just couldn't get enough. This year inshaAllah, I'm planning on a little more variety.

I think I may have posted a bamya recipe in the past. I made a new one recently. The only recommendation AbuS had was that it would be better made with lamb instead of beef.

• 1.5 lbs lamb or beef, cut into bite sized chunks
• 3 cups water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 cardamom pods, cracked
• 2 T oil
• One onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, diced fine
• 1 lb okra, chopped into bite sized pieces
• 1 t cumin
• 1 t coriander
• A few leaves of fresh mint, chopped
• 3 T tomato paste
• Salt and pepper to taste

Put the meat in with the water, cardamom and salt and pepper. Boil for 30 minutes to create beef broth. Remove and reserve beef from broth, and remove cardamom. Pitch that.

Heat oil in pan. Brown beef. Remove.

Add onions to oil. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, cook another 5 minutes. Remove

Add okra to the oil. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, until browned.

Take pan with broth, throw in the beef, onions, garlic and okra. Add cumin, coriander, mint and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice or with bread (or if you’re my husband, both, the more carbs the better). Also optional, squeeze some lemon juice over the served bamya.

I love bamya, although I never tried it with mint and cadomom. Mmmmmm bamya *mouths watering*

Gonna have to try this recipe out, thanks for posting and glad your back UmmSqueakster!!!

Thanksgiving coming up soon ... anyone having a MENA style dinner?

[UmmSqueakster 54]

I've been trying to decide what to make to bring to the grand extended family thanksgiving this year. I'm considering:

Roasted Garlic Hummus - made with non canned chickpeas of course + parsley, served with corn chips and veggies as an appetizer

Pumpkin Pie Bechamel - I haven't made this yet and will have to test drive it before I bring it. It looks almost like a pumpkin omm ali. If it's too soupy, I don't think it will work though. We usually eat dessert a few hours after the meal, sitting around the living room watching football.

I'd looooove to bring a squash and lentil soup, but there are too many people and too stuffed a table to add a soup bowl for everyone unfortunately.

the only thing we really do different is two turkeys, one halal and then one my mom picks up from the regular grocery store. with our turkey, i brine it overnight in vegetable broth, spices and a whole jar of honey, and then smoke it for 8 hours. we eat that turkey, and then everyone else eating the regular turkey usually can't help themselves from trying some of ours too. my husband has never asked for anything moroccan at thanksgiving before, he just asks me to make an extra pan of sourdough stuffing that he can have to himself for the next couple of days after. and he flips for cheesecake. i made a pumpkin cheesecake the year before last that he still raves about. i think i will do it again this year.
