Last year the #unfriediftar theme went over so well, that people asked me about it this year as well. Here are a few pictures and links to the recipes from last year and this year’s Ramadan, I’ll try to add on more as the days progress :
1. Arayes :
To 1 cup of cooked ground meat, I added in 1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp parsley and 2 tbsp minced onions. Mixed in a dash each of cinnamon, cumin, pepper, sumac, salt and pepper. I then stuffed and baked the pitas until crispy.
2. Pizza :
For the pizza dough – Add 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tbsp yeast to 1 cup lukewarm water. It should froth up in about 2-3 minutes. In a mixing bowl, add 2.5 cups All Purpose flour, 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the center, add water+yeast solution , 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Knead to make a dough. Cover the bowl and let it rise for atleast 45 minutes. Once risen, punch down the dough, divide into two parts and roll out for your crusts. I baked mine for about 12-14 minutes, at 400F. I start the pizza on the pizza tray, then after five minutes, I slide it right onto the oven rack, so the crust base cooks evenly and turns a lovely toasty golden brown.
BBQ chicken pizza topping – take one chicken breast, chop into bite size pieces. Cook with 1/2 tsp salt,1/4 tsp pepper and 1/2 oregano till done. Measure 1/4 cup BBQ sauce in a bowl. Add chicken pieces to sauce and stir to coat well. Roll out pizza dough, spoon out 1/4 cup pizza sauce + 1 tbsp bbq sauce over the base. Add 1/4 cup mozzarella. Top with 1/2 cup chicken pieces, 1/4 cup sliced red onion and 2 tbsp cilantro. Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 cup more cheese and bake till done. Garnish with more cilantro. (Or make mini ones like the ones below)
3. Frankies :
The filling is made with shredded chicken tikka or tandoori chicken, mixed with 1 tbsp each of tamarind chutney, chilli garlic sauce and ketchup. Add 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp chopped green onions and 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers and onions.Fill the roti with the chicken+veggie mix, roll like a burrito and lightly toast on a fry pan sprayed with a little bit of oil. Serve warm.
Same fillings and crepes as the foldovers, except you layer these in a greased pie dish, and top with a beaten egg, and bake at 350F for 30 minutes. See the link below for the basic recipe :
