Food around the world _ Egypt (1)


As a consequence of the Turkish dominance of Egypt for hundreds of years, Egyptian cuisine has accordingly been greatly influenced by this particular country’s gastronomy. The cuisines of neighbouring Arab countries like Lebanon, Syria and Palestine have also had an impact.

Egyptians eat three meals per day: fitaar, or breakfast, is taken early in the morning. This usually consists of fuul (broad beans served with oil), t'ameyah (deep-fried broad bean puree), eggs, jam or cheese with what is termed ‘balady’ bread or 'aysh balady (an unleavened bread made from coarse wheat and bran).


Roz bil laban ( rice pudding )

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of short-grain rice
5 cups of water
4 cups of milk
1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of corn starch dissolved in watera pinch of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
a sprinkling of chopped nuts
a sprinkling of raisins

Preparation:

Pour the rinsed rice into a pan with the water.
Simmer the rice over a medium heat until it is cooked.
Add the sugar and then the milk and vanilla essence whilst stirring the mixture constantly to avoid burning the rice.
Bring the rice to the boil and add the corn starch. Keep stirring the mixture until it thickens.
Take the mixture off the heat and shape it into small balls.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, chopped nuts and raisins over the balls.
Serve cold.
