This Syrian recipe, by Khadija El Ebrahim from the city of Kamishli, features a ground lamb and rice filling seasoned generously with garlic, mint, Aleppo pepper, black pepper, with a bit of pepper paste. The carefully stuffed and rolled leaves are interleaved with potatoes and lamb bones before being covered with lamb broth, whole garlic gloves, lemon, and olive oil, before a slow cooking that infuses the whole dish with an incredible depth of flavour. Served with fresh pita bread.

Syria is home to a wide variety of cheeses, some of which make appearances in their delicious desserts.

Newcomer Kitchen is a new project that invites groups of Syrian newcomer women to use our kitchen to cook traditional Syrian dishes in a fun, social setting. Meals are prepared and packaged, and then sold online for pickup or delivery to pay for all the ingredients and provide a source of revenue for the cooks.

We also offer “Guest Cook” spots on Wednesdays where you can help & hang out in the kitchen, learn the recipes and join the ladies for family meal. These can now be booked via AirBnB Experiences.

Proceeds from the sale of meals goes directly to the newcomer cooks. However this does not cover the costs of the enormous amount of behind-the-scenes coordination required to keep this project going. You can support the Newcomer Kitchen project directly and our vision of expanding this model to support more women in more neighbourhoods!

Help us take this idea into any restaurant kitchen, in any city in the world!
