Lamb Mandi- one pot rice and lamb, subtle spices, none of that charcoal smoking complicated business. This is probably the easiest recipe you’ll find for it (I know you all make fun of me for calling every recipe easy 😂😂). It really IS THOUGH- I’m linking the recipe below but if you want full step by step instructions with a few recipe videos showing how to make your own mandi pot, head to —-> https://everylittlecrumb.com/lamb-mandi/ or just tap the link on my bio
Ingredients:
3 cups long grain basmati rice, soaked and rinsed
1 cinnamon stick
3 whole cardamom pods
1-2 bay leaves
1 dried lemon (lumee) if you have it
1 tbsp olive oil
4.5 cups water
1.5 kg lamb shoulder with bone, trimmed of fat
salt to season
pepper to season
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
Instructions:
Heat oven to 220 C. (425 F)
To a large, oven safe pot, add the rice, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, bay leaves, and dried lemon if using. Drizzle the olive oil on top of the rice in the pot. Pour water on top of the rice.
Cover the pan tightly with foil, creasing the eges of the foil around the pan to ensure a tight fit, and stab the foil evenly with a skewer to get a distribution of holes in the foil.
Season the lamb shoulder all over with salt, pepper, cumin powder and coriander, and massage the spices into the meat. Place the spiced meat on top of the foil covering the rice. Place a piece of parchment paper over the meat, then cover tightly with more aluminum foil so you have a foil wrapped parcel of lamb on top of the foil covered pot of rice.
Cook for 3 hours, or until the lamb is cooked through and pulls easily off the bone with a fork. Fluff the rice, place on a serving platter, and serve with the lamb on top of the rice, garnished with toasted nuts and raisins, and fresh coriander or parsley if desired.

Always a pleasure dining @thelebanesebakerybh . We went for breakfast today and I absolutely loved the egg and cheese Manoushe. The crust was golden and puffy and held up well to the egg and cheese filling. This paired with a piping hot cup of Lebanese coffee is just the way to wake up! My kids love this place and so do we- it’s always a good family outing when we pass by. I have to get the akkawi cheese, and my husband will fight anyone who tries to eat from his zaatar wa zaatar. What’s your fave order from here?

What a fun, interesting, and responsible new concept! Plant based and sustainable eatery @eightythirty has opened in @alaalishoppingcomplex and it’s a fast food concept with a completely meat free menu. They have beyond meat burgers, moving mountain hot dogs, plant based chicken nuggets (and really excellent fries) Some points to note:
- @eightythirty is led by an all woman team 👏🏼
- Eighty Thirty is a plastic free environment
- No waste! Everything is recycled into compost for their garden.
- With every order of the tree of life dessert, a tree is planted in the Amazon 🌳 Swipe to see how pretty it is!
I haven’t had a hot dog in over 10 years (after I watched an episode of The Simple Life and found out exactly how they were made 😂😂) so it felt GOOD to eat a hot dog again and I swear I couldn’t tell the difference between this and the real thing - I’m no hot dog expert, but my table members all agreed. That was my favorite, but vegetarians will rejoice in being able to have a burger so close to the real thing, and I’m pretty sure I could trick my kids with the chicken nuggets.
Go show this socially conscious new eatery lots of support!

This is THE pasta dish you need. Ultimate oven baked chicken breasts, homemade pesto sauce and whole wheat fusilli. If you’ve never had homemade pesto you are going to be blown away- it’s SO MUCH BETTER of then the jarred stuff, and takes 5 min of effort!
Ingredients:
For the pesto sauce:
4 packed cups basil leaves 100 g
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
zest of one small lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
5 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup toasted pine nuts, cooled
pinch red chili flakes
1 cup good quality olive oil

For the chicken:
2 chicken breasts
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp mixed herbs, thyme or oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp olive oil

To assemble:
250 grams pasta of choice
handful fresh parmesan cheese
handful fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts

Instructions:
For the pesto sauce:
In a food processor or blender, add all the ingredients for the pesto except the olive oil.
Blend to combine until basil is chopped up. Then, drizzle in the olive oil while blending until all oil is added and a paste forms. Taste and adjust.#
For the chicken:
Preheat the oven to 220 C (425 F). Flatten the chicken breasts slightly by pounding them with a rolling pin.
In a small bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, mustard, and olive oil until a paste forms.
Spread the spice paste evenly all over the chicken breasts, bottom and top.
Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through. For the final 1-2 minutes of cooking, broil to give a touch of color. Watch carefully!
Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it.

Cook pasta according to package instructions, and when draining reserve a little water. Toss pasta with the pesto sauce, any reserved pasta water to thin if necessary, and chicken. Garnish with Parmesan, basil , and toasted pine nuts. .

Afternoon tea for breakfast was a total success @cafesego . We enjoyed every bite ☕️ 🥮. It costs 12 bd, and comes with two tea or coffee drinks of choice (I can recommend the flat white) two macaroons of choice, two mini eclairs of choice, and a selection of mini quiche and sandwiches, scones, and some very welcome creme brûlée pots. It’s served all day long, and it will hit the spot! Great value, and very suitable to the French tea parlor vibe that @cafesego has going on. The bread and pastries were spot on- the only thing I could say was I wish the scones had been served with clotted cream instead of whipped, but c’est la vie!

Time to reset after a truly indulgent weekend with a very healthy smoothie bowl, that happily still tastes indulgent. This chocolate avocado smoothie bowl is sweetened with dates alone, is vegan, gluten free and also soooo smooth, creamy and luscious. It honestly tastes like chocolate mousse in a bowl. Packed with healthy fat and antioxidants MAKE this, you won’t regret it!

Ingredients
3 dates, pitted
1 medium banana sliced and frozen preferred
1/2 avocado, cut into chunks
1/2-1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
2 tbsp raw cacao or cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
tiny pinch of salt

Instructions:
Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes to make them easy to blend. Drain.
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained dates, the banana slices, avocado chunks, 1/2 cup milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until creamy and smooth. If you like the texture thinner, continue adding more milk until desired consistency.
Top with whatever you like and enjoy immediately! I used banana, shredded coconut, cacao nibs, granola, blueberries and blackberries.

You know what I need after a night of dancing, running after a two year old in heels, and sleeping at 1:30 AM? A flat white the size of a cereal bowl and a sea salted tahini chocolate chip cookie. Then the day seems much more handle-able. 🍪 ☕️ .
