With Ramadan here, I have been cooking ALOT. I have been experimenting with many dishes that I have never tried before. I have made Sambousa (fried pastry with filling on the inside) before usually with beef, cheese, or spinich. This weekend I experimented with something new, fish. I went to a Somali deli about couple months ago and had the BEST sambousa I have ever tasted before It was filled with tuna, which innitially sounded very odd, but was super yummy!!!. So, I decided to give it a try. Just so you know....it turned out EXCELLENT and that was without me test tasting (I am fasting after all) :-) Anyhow enjoy!

A German friend taught me to make this and I never knew the actual name of it, so the kids started calling it rice pie, because the taste of it reminds them of a peach pie, but it's main ingredient is rice.  You have to try it to really appreciate it!

Okay so I gotta represent the two sides of my heritage! This recipe is for the Egyptian half of me :-)

This is MY favorite Egyptian dish! It's take a few times to perfect it, but once you do it is well worth it! So yummy.

Molokhiyah is a green leafy soup. A typical Egyptian dish.
