The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Spinach, walnut & feta parcels Recipe. Enjoy best Christmas cooking recipes and learn how to make Spinach, walnut & feta parcels.

A Middle Eastern-inspired filo parcel that makes a great alternative to the traditional festive starter.

Easy
Serves 6
Prep 25 mins
Cook 25 mins
Vegetarian

Ingredients

400g spinach , washed
butter
½ tsp cinnamon
1 ½ tsp cumin seeds , toasted
200g feta cheese , crumbled
50g walnuts , chopped
1 egg , beaten
9 sheets filo pastry
200ml Greek yogurt
½ garlic clove , crushed
baby salad leaves , to serve
pomegranate molasses , to serve (optional)

Method

1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Wilt the spinach in a little butter, then cool, squeeze out any water and chop. Put in a bowl with the cinnamon, 1 tsp of the cumin, feta and walnuts and season really well.

2. Melt 50g butter in a small pan. Cut the filo sheets in half so you have 18 squareish pieces. Butter 3 sheets on both sides, then lay on top of each other with each one at an angle to make a rough star shape. Put 1⁄6 of the filling in the middle. Bring up the sides and gather together at the top, squeeze or twist to seal firmly. Repeat with the other 5.

3. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Mix the yogurt and garlic with the other ½ tsp cumin seeds. Serve with a dollop of yogurt and a few salad leaves. Drizzle over a little pomegranate molasses to finish, if you like.

Middle Eastern roast turkey recipe

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Middle Eastern roast turkey Recipe. Enjoy best Christmas cooking recipes and learn how to make Middle Eastern roast turkey.

Spice up the festive table with this smart alternative to traditional roast turkey

Easy
Serves 8-10
Prep 30 mins
Cook 4 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

1 oven-ready turkey , about 6kg
125g butter
1 lemon , zested and halved
2 large onions , peeled, 1 halved and 1 thickly sliced
2 bay leaves
2 tsp of a mix of ground cinnamon , ground cumin and sweet paprika
1 sprig thyme , leaves pulled off and finely chopped
½ tbsp pomegranate molasses (optional)
1 orange , zested and halved
olive oil
2 cinnamon sticks
2 glasses white wine

For the Gravy
1 tbsp flour
200ml white wine or red wine
600ml chicken stock
pinch each of ground cinnamon , ground cumin and sweet paprika
squeeze of orange juice

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.Mix the butter with the lemon and season well. Gently push your fingers under the turkey's skin, starting from the neck end of the bird, easing the skin away from the flesh over both the breast and tops of the drumsticks - you'll have to slide your whole hand in to reach this far. Spread the lemon butter under the skin, pushing it as far in as you can, then smooth the skin back into place. Put the onion halves and bay leaves in the turkey cavity.

2. Mix the spices and thyme with the pomegranate molasses, if using, orange zest and enough oil to make a brushable paste. Brush all over the turkey breast. Push the halved orange and cinnamon sticks into the turkey.

3. Arrange the sliced onion in the bottom of a large roasting tin to act as a trivet for the bird and pour in the wine. Sit the turkey on top and cover both the bird and tin completely with foil to make a tent. Cook the turkey for 40 minutes per kilo, basting once or twice.

4. Take out the turkey and turn up the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 30 minutes or until the skin is golden. To test if it is cooked, pierce the fattest part of the thigh with a skewer - the juices that run out should be clear and not pink; keep cooking if the juices are pink and check again after each 10 minutes. If you like your turkey meat almost falling off the bones, test by wiggling the leg - it should give slightly if the meat is ready to come away from the bones.

5. Rest the turkey, covered loosely with foil, for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour before serving.

6. To make the gravy, pour away any excess fat from the roasting tin but keep the onion slices - a fat separator will help with this. Set the tin over a medium heat, then sprinkle over the flour. Stir through and cook for 2 minutes, turning the onion over in the mixture to extract the flavour. Slowly stir in the wine, stock and juices and add a pinch of each spice and a squeeze of orange juice. Bring to a boil, scraping bits from the bottom, then simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes. Season and sieve into a jug. Serve with the turkey.

Mum's Christmas pudding recipe

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Mum's Christmas pudding Recipe. Enjoy best Christmas cooking recipes and learn how to make Mum's Christmas pudding - the ideal last-minute option as it doesn't need to mature to taste really good

Easy
Makes 1 x 2L/3.5 pint and 1 x 1L/1.75 pint pudding

Prep time 10 mins
Cook 3 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

450g white breadcrumbs
350g golden caster sugar
225g vegetarian suet
100g self-raising flour
50g almonds , roughly chopped
225g currants
225g sultanas
225g raisins
175g mixed peel
1 tsp each mixed spice , ground ginger and grated nutmeg
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
2 tbsp treacle
zest and juice 1 lemon
zest and juice 1 orange

Method

1. Place all the ingredients, except the eggs, treacle and lemon and orange juice, into your largest bowl with 1 tsp salt, then mix. Add the remaining ingredients along with 700ml water, then mix to a consistency that drops off your spoon. Cover and leave in a cool place overnight. The mixture will become firm.

2. The next day, add enough water to bring the mix back to a dropping consistency, then spoon into greased pudding basins - we used a 2 litre and a 1 litre. Cover with pleated greaseproof paper and foil, and secure with string.

3. Lower the puddings into a saucepan with upturned saucers or scrunched-up bits of foil in the bottom (so the puds don't touch the bottom), then fill with boiling water from the kettle until it comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Simmer the smaller pudding for 2-2½ hrs and the larger one for 3-3½ hrs. Cool, wrap well in foil and chill for up to 3 days.

This bare-bones program delivers on its promise, but you can just as easily use the Internet to find the same information. Free Medical Dictionary's ad-supported interface displays medical definitions drawn from various Web sites. You can get the same information, word for word, by searching certain government-based medical sites--and you won't have to look at Google ads. The program's only other feature is a Web Search button. If Free Medical Dictionary could function without the Internet, we could be a bit more enthusiastic about it.

However, since it requires a Web connection to function, it's just as easy to cruise the Net. Still, since it is free, medical students and researchers who need a quick reference tool might find some benefit.

Luxury Restaurants in Dubai

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to enjoy luxury restaurants in Dubai.

Dubai may be best known for its fabulous shopping, luxury hotels, outdoor attractions and buzzy nightlife, but equally appealing is its diverse range of fine restaurants.
Dubai's thriving culinary scene offers more than 450 restaurants, with pretty much every flavour from around the world represented in this melting pot of cultures. An increasing number of chefs with stellar international reputations have now set up restaurants in Dubai's top hotels - Gordon Ramsay at the Hilton Dubai Creek, Viktor Stampfer at the Ritz-Carlton and John Wood at the Burj al Arab amongst them.

Leading Arabian and Persian restaurants include Automatic, Shabestan, Shahrzad, The Persian Garden, The Al Khayam Lounge and Layali Lubnan. The Marrakech at the Shangri-La Hotel and Shoo Fee Ma Fee in the Madinat Souk are well-regarded Moroccan venues. The Blue Elephant Thai restaurant boasts opulent interiors and fine food; top choices for Indian cuisine include the Ashiana and Khazana, tastefully adorned with lantern lights and bamboo screens, the Thattukada at the Palm Beach Rotana Inn and the Antique Bazaar at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, whilst Sho-Cho is the hottest Japanese venue in town right now.

Top seafood choices include the Aquarium at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and the Fish Market at the Hotel Inter-Continental; and Dubai boasts an abundance of European restaurants, particularly Italian: the Bice Ristorante in Umm Suqueim offers first-class Italian delicacies, fine service and alfresco dining; the elegant Cubo Pasta restaurant at the Ibis Hotel receives rave reviews; Venezia, the largest restaurant in the Middle East, is beautifully designed like an Italian village square, complete with gondola rides, musical entertainment and an extensive selection of fine wines. La Moda's plush setting and delicious Italian dishes makes it the place to be and to be seen in. Other top choices include Da Vinci's in Garhoud and the all-day Fontana diner.

If you're not staying there, it's still worth taking a trip to the Rydges Plaza Hotel for its excellent choice of restaurants, including Billy Blues steakhouse and Texan fare at Cactus Cantina.

Dubai is also famous for its Friday brunches, where sumptuous buffets cover the whole spectrum of international cuisines, some lasting all day. Competition is intense and great promotions often apply: some venues offer free use of facilities, such as swimming pools, as part of the Friday brunch package.
