Why Arabic Food?

Happy day Read.cash Community, wishing you an excellent day and having a great time. Starting December with many hopes, new challenges, thanking the work done in November and happy to have achieved some goals, we will continue in the battle until the triumph.

These are my wonderful Sponsors, I invite you to review their articles, they are very good and fascinating, I am sure you will like them.

Recently we had a big celebration at home, so I dedicated myself to prepare Arabic food, having a great reason for it. My children are anime fans, I also got hooked on watching them, my favorite daughter asked me on one of her birthdays to prepare Japanese food for her, so it was up to me to study how to prepare Japanese dishes. Google my great ally, always saving me, I prepared Sushi I gave it a Venezuelan touch, since it is not easy to get all the ingredients, I also remember preparing Onigiri as appetizers, but I also prepared a tempura fish, well this preamble is to get into the subject.

Why Arab food?

• Hayatımı çaldım (He Stole My Life)

• Sefirin Kizi (The Ambassador's Daughter)

• Afili Ask (Love Trap)

• Kirali Ask (I Rent You My Love)

• Benim Tatli Yalamin (My Sweet Lie)

• Merhamet (Mercy)

• Hercai (Pride)

So many other titles, certainly they are not titles in Arabic but in Turkish, but in Venezuela we say Turks to the Arabs, so it doesn't matter if it is Arabic or Turkish, a thousand apologies to the Arabs it is not done in a derogatory way, well you see my wife became a fan of Turkish novels and as it was her birthday, what I prepared was Arab food because I also like it a lot, so I told @rebeysa85 that I would do a post about it.

First of all I prepared some cucumbers and onions pickled in vinegar, I don't know why I didn't take the corresponding pictures, but well this was the result, in a next post I will show you how I made them or just make others to take the corresponding pictures.

SHAWARMA

With some variations to the original, usually I put tomato sauce and mayonnaise, but this time I decided to make the chickpea cream.

Ingredients

Arabic bread

Chickpea Cream

Grilled beef

Grilled chicken meat

Tomato chopped in brunoise (in squares)

Finely chopped parsley

Lentil Falafel

Cucumber and onion pickle

Preparation

Open the bread in 2 parts and place one on top of the other.

Add the chickpea cream covering a good portion of the bread.

Place the falafel and crumble it.

Add the rest of the ingredients, meats, tomato, cucumber, onion and parsley.

Roll it up and heat it on the grill, you can add more cream if you like.

CHICKPEA CREAM

Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas 200 g drained

1 head of garlic

1 lemon

1 teaspoon salt

Oil depending on consistency

Water depending on consistency

Procedure

Crush the garlic with the lemon in a food processor, if you don't have it you can do it in a blender, then add the chickpeas, salt and a little bit of oil, mix until it becomes puree, add oil or water depending on the consistency you want.

LENTIL FALAFEL

Ingredients

400 g lentils

100 g onion

Chili peppers to taste

1 bunch of parsley

1 head of garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Procedure

Soak the lentils to hydrate them for 2 hours or until they are soft, drain them well, take them to the processor together with the rest of the ingredients, grind them until you make the paste, let it rest for about 15 minutes.

You can make the doughnuts with your hands or with 2 spoons, fry them in oil until they are golden brown, let them drain. Use the ones you need for the shawarma, the rest you can serve with the chickpea cream.

TABBOULEH or TAbULE

Ingredients

1 cup of wheat semolina (Bulgur)

2 cups of parsley, finely chopped

2 onions cut in brunoise

½ Kg of tomatoes cut in brunoise

3 lemons

Salt to taste

Vegetable oil

Procedure

Let the semolina soak in enough water for 10 to 20 minutes, drain well.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with Arabic bread.

Note:

Before cutting the vegetables I prepare water with a little vinegar, let them soak for a few minutes, wash them very well.

Very well beautiful people, I hope you liked it and that you can repeat these recipes.
