Cardamom

Defined by faint notes of mint, pepper, and lemon, cardamom is a sweet-or-savory spice beloved in Arabic cooking. It’s an important element to slow-cooked tagines, along with turmeric, cumin, ginger, and cinnamon.

Red lentil soup 

INGREDIENTS 

3 tbls Sultan Brand Olive Oil
2 Large carrots, Peeled and diced
1 Yellow onion, Peeled and diced
3 Cloves of garlic, minced 
16oz bag Ziyad Brand Red lentils
Rinsed and drained

1 Tsp Ziyad Brand Turmeric

DIRECTIONS 

Cooking time: 35 MINUTES
SerViNG 4-6 PEOPLE

STEP I
In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic and carrots for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add spices and salt and cook for an additional minute.
STEP II
Add the lentils, water or broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer until the lentils begin to fall apart and they become creamy all on their own. Add more water or stock if needed. The lentils will thicken as they cook about 20-30 minutes. Stir soup often so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
STEP II
Serve in bowls with the optional garnishes of radishes, green onions, cilantro leaves, lemon wedges, crispy pita chips, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sumac.

tO GarNiSh
Add lemon wedges, radishes, green onion, cilantro leaves, Ziyad Brand Sumac, Sultan Brand Olive Oil, and Ziyad Brand yogurt. Check out more of our Ramadan recipes on www.ziyad.com

Kaek al Quds a delicious recipe from @reem.kassis cookbook “The Palestinian Table”
“It may be a myth, or it may be fact, but all Palestinians agree that the oblong sesame bagels made in Jerusalem taste better than those made anywhere else in the country.
We even call them ‘Jerusalem’ bagels. Perhaps it’s the old traditional wood-fired ovens, or the aura of Old City where they are baked, or their ubiquitous presence in the daily life of Jerusalemites. The men push their ka’ak-laden wooden carts through the streets shouting “kaaaaaaa’aaaaaak” and everyone, from schoolchildren to workers to store owners-even tourists- gathers round for these delicious and filling breads. No, this recipe will not taste the same as the ones sold on the streets, but they are a delicious and fantastic place holder until one finally visits the Old City”.
