Baba Ganoush

[Chicken] Musakhan مسخن
Over the last 60 years, many people from the Palestinian diaspora have found their way to Syria, bringing elements of their food and culture with them. Musakhan is a traditional Palestinian dish that has become very popular in Syria, especially in the South. Very thin sheets of “taboon” flat bread are filled with cooked chicken, onions that have been caramelized in olive oil, and a generous helping of tangy sumac. They are rolled up into small cigars and baked in an oven, and then dusted with more sumac before serving.

Fatayer Sabaneh is a triangular pastry filled with spinach and onions cooked in olive oil, flavoured with tangy sumac.

Mutabal Batenjan متبل باذنجان
One of the most famous and popular Middle Eastern mezze dips — perhaps better known by it’s Egyptian name, Baba Ganouj — this is a smoky eggplant dip with yogurt, tahini & garlic. The Syrian version is often beautifully garnished with pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds and parsley.

Balooza بالوظة
A delightful and refreshing parfait that layers a silky orange-blossom infused milk pudding with a tangy fruit-based spread (often orange or apricot) and is topped with a sprinkling of pistachio and some seasonal fruit. We hope to make this with the first crop of local Ontario strawberries.
