    Chicken and Rice Soup

    February 21, 2019

    chicken, soup, lemon, rice, comfort, winter
    chicken, soup, lemon, rice, comfort, winter
    Comforting chicken, rice and lemon make this a perfect winter dish.

    For the longest time I can remember, soup has always been the essence of comfort food. Food to warm you up on a cold winter day or that special dish when you are sick. This Chicken and Rice soup with lemon is the soup you need this winter.

    Avgolemono

    I was inspired by the Greek soup, Avgolemono. My friend Bella from the blog, Ful-Filled, recently shared her recipe for this classic Greek soup that is a base of chicken, rice, lemon and eggs. My oldest daughter has an egg allergy, which means Avgolemono wouldn't work for her. I wanted to create a similar style soup that would satisfy the same warmth as traditional Avgolemono without the eggs.

    Simple Ingredients

    chicken, soup, lemon, rice, comfort, winter
    Warm chicken and rice soup for cold winter days.

    Traditional Avgolemono uses eggs to create its signature creamy, silky texture. I decided to replace the egg component with a light roux (flour and butter mixture) to create a bit of creaminess without being a cream based soup. Adding fresh lemon juice is a must but adding some sumac spice gave the soup its bright flavor. The sumac bush is native to the Middle East, it produces deep red berries which are dried and ground into a coarse powder used in many Middle Eastern dishes. Sumac has a lemony flavor, but is more balanced and less tart than lemon juice which is a nice addition in the soup.

    The simpleness of this dish is appealing but the flavors of the soup are so deep and comforting. A handful of simple ingredients turn into a dish that is more than perfect for a weeknight meal or a leisurely weekend brunch. Taking the extra time to make a homemade chicken stock is well worth it, especially when the broth is the main star of the show.

    .I think the beauty of developing recipes is taking inspiration from around the world and incorporating it into your own personal style. A traditional Greek soup inspired my own version with a Lebanese twist and flair. I hope this soup finds its way to your heart and home.

    As always, I love seeing your creations. Tag me on Instagram or Facebook with your dish!

    Instructions
    Chicken and Rice Soup
    1. Prepare your rice by adding to a bowl, fill the bowl with water. Drain the water, fill again, continue doing this until the water is clear. Could be 3-4 times. Set aside.
    2. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add 2 tablespoons of butter and set to medium heat. Add in your chopped onions and cook for 3-5 minutes until they become translucent.
    3. If you are using chopped garlic instead of toum, add your garlic now (if you are using toum, wait).
    4. Add in 2 more tablespoons of butter and your 4 tablespoons of flour. Mix and stir until the flour is absorbed and cooked off. You can add in some of your stock to create a bit of a slurry while cooking this mixture.
    5. Add your chicken stock (see below for making your own), and rice. Let the mixture come to a boil on high heat then reduce to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes until rice is tender. Stir occasionally to make sure rice doesn't stick, I leave my wooden spoon in the pot.
    6. Add in your chicken, toum if using and lemon once rice is tender. Season with salt and sumac. Sumac is a Middle Eastern spice that has a lemony flavor, if you don't have it, you can certainly add additional lemon to taste.
    7. Remove from heat, enjoy! Add additional lemon to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and pink peppercorns.
    Chicken Stock
    1. Place a whole chicken in a large pot with cold water to cover completely.
    2. Add a cinnamon stick, bay leaf and lemon.
    3. Let the mixture come to a boil on high heat then reduce to a simmer and let go for 2-3 hours to get the best flavor.
    4. While the chicken is cooking, skim the fat off the top periodically.
    5. Once your stock is done, remove the chicken, pull the meat off the bones. Pour your stock through a fine mesh strainer to get any bits out. Store your stock in the fridge or freezer safe container for 3 months.
    Recipe Notes

    **If you are using homemade chicken stock, feel free to sub up to 4 cups of liquid with water. Homemade chicken stock is a lot more concentrated than store bought.

    Fattoush Salad

    December 9, 2018

    Fattoush salad
    Fattoush Salad

    I love salad, I truly do but when you pair salad with bread, it's a combination that can't be beat! We grew up eating this delicious salad, Fattoush. Spiced with sumac spice, crunchy bread and crunchy fresh vegetables it's almost a meal on it's own. 

    Fattoush has many variations throughout the Middle East, this version is one my family makes. One rule though, you get to eat it with your HANDS! Yes, those crunchy pita bread bits make it hard to fork, so dig in and use those clean fingertips to pickup every delicious bite of toasted pita, lettuce, radish, cucumbers and peppers. 

    To Prepare

    While it's best to eat the salad as soon as you mix the bread in, I have a few tricks for you to prepare ahead and have ready to go when you want to enjoy.

    The first step is creating your dressing at the bottom of your bowl, once that is ready, layer your veggies starting with your lettuce then add everything else on top and finally top with your crunchy pita bread pieces. When you are ready to eat, mix to ensure each bite is coated with the delicious lemony sumac. The bits of red sumac really make this salad so beautiful and special. Feel free to sub in any veggies you like or opt any out you don't enjoy. It truly is versatile and perfect for a crowd! 

    Check out this simple recipe and add it to your next dinner! As always, I love seeing your creations, tag me on Instagram or Facebook!! Don’t forget to Pin the recipe!

    Loobieh bi Zeit (Green Beans with Oil)

    Thank you Carapelli Olive Oil for sponsoring this post. For more information and a store locator, please visit CarapelliUSA.com and be sure to check out Carapelli’s social channels: Facebook and Instagram.

    green beans, lebanese, olive oil, fresh, easy, vegetarian, vegan

    Tender green beans are tossed with lemon, garlic and olive oil.

    Simple Times

    If I close my eyes and visualize my childhood it always, always includes a bounty of food. Afternoons sitting in the kitchen with my mom helping her peel garlic, stream oil while she makes toum or clip the ends of green beans. Despite the tough times my parents had while growing up, there was never a shortage of food. Whatever my mom made us, was a meal fit for a king or queen. I think her gift, and that of my people, is taking the simplest ingredients and creating food that is flavorful, delicate and always made with love. 

    green beans, lebanese, olive oil, fresh, easy, vegetarian, vegan

    Simple ingredients and high quality Carapelli Olive Oil elevate this dish.

    From simple cuts of meat, vegetables, garlic, lemon and olive oil, a meal can be enjoyed by many. It is the process of taking quality ingredients and cooking techniques that brings out the best in each dish. Using the highest quality olive oil is so important in Lebanese cuisine. It is often the glue that creates a cohesive dish, marrying all the flavors together. Carapelli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is soft, balanced and fruity in flavor. The delicate flavor of Carapelli Olive Oil is achieved by harvesting high-quality olives at the optimal time, in the most delicate manner. It is the perfect accompaniment to Loobieh where olive oil is the star of the dish.

    With 3 distinct olive oils, choose the one that fits your dish!

    Loobieh bi Zeit

    In Arabic, "Loobieh" translates to green beans and "Zeit" translates to oil. Loobieh can be prepared in two ways, one is a braised green bean dish that is filled with tomatoes and often meat. The other version is a dish where greens beans are cooked tenderly, then tossed with garlic, lemon and the most delicate olive oil. Both dishes can be enjoyed as a meal on their own or as part of a mezze platter. This recipe highlights the simple garlic and olive oil Loobieh, enjoy with pita bread warm or cold. Carapelli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil truly elevates this dish with the balanced classic flavor of the olive oil and tender sweet greens beans.

    Carefully crushing the green beans with a pestle ensures the flavors of olive oil, garlic and lemon come through each piece.

    Strawberry Shortcake

    April 25, 2018

    strawberry, whipped cream, cake

    strawberry, whipped cream, cake

    Layered white cake with a hint of lemon filled with strawberry whipped cream and strawberry jam.

    Is it finally spring? There are days I wake up and walk outside and it feels as though winter is still lingering. But today, today was 80 degrees, and tomorrow and the next day. I think we have finally jumped over the hump and spring is in the air. Trees are filled with buds, leaves and flowers. The cherry blossoms are coming to an end, sometimes it looks as though it's raining flowers. But lilacs are budding, roses are beginning to emerge and sweet fragrant flowers fill the air all around. 

    cake, strawberry, layer cake

    Layers of delicate white cake and strawberry whipped cream.

    That spring air definitely puts some pep in your step and makes you want to be outside to take walks, start the garden and head to the Farmer's Market. Strawberries are just starting to pop up, not quite locally for me in Portland but some beautiful ones from California. This is the big kickoff and hopes that summer is just around the corner. I'm ready to start planting my garden, long days, BBQs and endless time with friends and family. 

    Sometimes bloggers like to get together, virtually and put together quite the party. Like our last one that highlighted carrots. Today I'm joined by over 90 bloggers sharing all things strawberry...because #straweberriesarethejam , follow that hashtag on Instagram for the most beautiful feed you'll ever see! 

    whipped cream, cake, strawberries

    Layers of delicate white cake and strawberry whipped cream.

    I could eat strawberries by the bucket, I will sit and pick them all summer long from my garden. The sweetest, and most delectable strawberries in all the world! When I think about strawberries, I immediately think of strawberries and cream, a natural and perfect combination that is classic and never disappoints. I took one of my favorite cake recipes, made some tweaks and filled it with the simplest strawberry whipped cream and homemade strawberry jam. Easy enough for a backyard BBQ or elegant enough for a formal dinner party.  Not fussy,  just a perfect simple cake. I hope you give it a try!
