Recipes were never exact; more like simple instructions that vary between neighbourhoods\, and even families. A series of handfuls and pinches that\, when executed properly\, lead to extraordinary meals. One of the dishes that exemplifies this culinary ingenuity is called maldoum (ملضوم)\, an incredibly delicious layered meat and eggplant dish. The classic way to prepare this dish is over a grill\, where you alternate meat patties and eggplant slices on a skewer. When the dish is prepared over the grill\, it is called\, kabob banjan (كباب باذنجان). But if you don’t have access to a grill\, you can prepare kabob banjan in the oven\, and call it maldoum.” \nMaldoum can be found in kitchens from Turkey to Lebanon; this is a more rustic\, countryside version of of the dish\, that adds green peppers\, tomatoes and potatoes\, which are traditionally arranged in attractive layered patterns in a large shallow round pan before baking.

Thin\, yeasted wheat flour dough is stuffed with a mixture of cooked onions and halal ground beef spiced with black pepper\, and then baked (or sometimes fried). We are going to try and bake some of these in the wood-fired bread oven in Dufferin Grove Park\, weather and logistics permitting.\n\n\n \n\n\n[vegetarian] Harraq Esbaoo حراق اصبعو \n\n\nby Ameena AlShaar from Damascus. \n\n\nA very old and well-known dish in Syria\, the name translates “burning his finger”. The notion is that the dish is so delicious\, that diners can’t resist going for it before it cools\, so they burn their fingers. Lentils and fresh\, hand-cut pasta are cooked together with spices then mixed with onions\, coriander\, and a tamarind & pomegranate molasses dressing\, then garnished with crispy fried pita croutons\, caramelized onions\, fresh coriander and fresh pomegranate seeds.\n\n\n \n\n\nOk\, here’s my stab at Syrian humour: \n\n\nHow did the Syrian hipster burn his fingers? \n\n\nHe ate his Harraq Esbaoo before it was cool. \n\n\n[#rimshot]\n\n\n \n\n\nSalateh Malfouf سلطة ملفوف \n\n\nA cool\, refreshing salad made of chopped cabbage and diced tomatoes then dressed with olive oil\, garlic\, lemon juice\, sumac\, pomegranate seeds and fresh mint.\n\n\n \n\n\nGhoraibeh غريبه \n\n\nThese delicate pistachio-topped baked shortbread cookies are usually made for Eid (the celebration at the end of Ramadan) as a festive dessert. \n\n\n—–\n\n\n$20 +HST\n\n\n\nMeals will go on sale on Tuesday at 7am.\n\n\n \n\n\nMeals will be available for pickup from The Depanneur\, 1033 College Street (between Dufferin & Dovercourt) from 6–7pm on Thursday\, May 26.\n\n\n \n\n\nFoodora has sponsored FREE Delivery within 3km radius\n\n\n \n\n\nPlease indicate “PICKUP” or “DELIVERY” in the Order Notes at the Checkout.\n\n\n \n\n\nTonight’s meal is available in limited quantities.
