My Most Memorable Moment | My Experience

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I am back with another blogpost, and today I am going to be talking about my favourite holiday ever. My holiday to Morocco.

The most memorable and most incredible moment was my outstanding and fascinating trip to Marrakech, Morocco. It was truly amazing to witness such elegance of ancient Arabic and French culture. My trip to Morocco was definitely one my favourite memories…

I spent two weeks in the glorious land of Marrakech – enjoying the authentic Moroccan cuisine – one of my favourites was the divinely spiced lamb Tagine. I would give anything to place my lips on such a dish one last time. I was also lucky enough to go to the old market, where traditional, handmade Moroccan woodwork was being sold. I still treasure an oak key-chain, made for me by a Moroccan woodworker.

Later that day, we enjoyed the food from an incredible, five star luxury restaurant – where they really showed off the exquisite flavours which Morocco have to offer. I can still smell the glorious spices of the dishes, dancing around my nose and entertaining my taste buds. We then arrived at the ‘Kenzi Club Agdal Medina’ 4 star resort, it was so amazing and everyone was so thoughtful and selfless. The resort was neighboured by the inspirational Mediterranean Sea – which made you feel like anything was possible.

The next day, after a very pleasant night – listening to the calming waves of the sea, we decided to go to the astonishing, historical, abandoned ‘City of the Kings’. It was absolutely amazing. It made me remember those who lived before my existence.

I absolutely loved Morocco with all my heart. Without hesitation, I can definitely say it was one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. I only wish I could have stayed longer and experience more breath-taking scenes and meet more courteous and such welcoming people.

Thank you so much for reading, I would love to know what your favourite holiday was and what you did, so let me know in the comments below, I look forward to hearing from you…

Lebanese Lamb Pies | This Week's Yummies

Hello again everyone, sorry for the late post, however, it's worth it, as I am back with a recipe that I am sure you are going to love, so get your chef hat at the ready!

To make the dough, you will need:
514g self rising flour + additional more for rolling dough
3 teaspoon quick-rising active dry yeast
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sugar
177ml vegetable oil
2 large eggs, room temperature
236ml warm water
To make the filling, you will need:
2 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
1 large onion, chopped
3 tomatoes, diced
453g minced lamb
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon all spice
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sumac powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1. Firstly, mix together the flour, yeast, salt and sugar together in a large bowl
2. Then create a well in the middle of the bowl, and add the eggs and oil
3. Stir the mixture, as you add the water
4. Once the mixture has come together, lay it out onto a surface, the mixture should not be dry
5. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes
6. Place the dough back into the bowl and loosely over it with cling film
7. Allow the dough to rise in a warm area, as you make the filling
   
   

   

   
   

   

   Create a well in the centre of the bowl
   

   
   

8. To make the filling, Heat the ghee in a pan. Make sure it is really hot when you add the onion. Sauté the onion until it is translucent.
9. Add the lamb mince, and cook it until it becomes brown. Then add the tomatoes. Cook them until they shrivelled, and the liquid evaporates, on a high heat.
10. Add the spices, salt, pepper, parsley and lemon juice.
11. Let it cool

12. Uncover the dough

13. Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll them out so they are thin.

14. Place some of the filling into the middle of the dough.

Pinch the dough and pull it inwards, to form a triangle shape.

15. Pinch the sides if the dough shut.

Prepare a salad on the side, using a cucumber, tomatoes, some lettuce, and colourful peppers!

Now you admire, but not for too long, so you can enjoy!

What To Drink?

For this dish, I recommend the lemon & mint 'Posh Squash' from  the Breckland Orchard, as it is so delicious, and onto of that, it will freshen your breath afterwards! How convenient.
