Not only do they pride themselves in food that is steeped in culinary traditions and guard their recipes close to heart\, they undeniably affirm their cuisine as the best in the Middle East.

In Syria\, lentils\, with their high iron content\, are sometimes called the “meat of the poor” ( المجدرة لحم الفقراء); or “nails for your knees” (المجدرة مسمامير الركب) in the sense that they help keep you on your feet for a long time. In majaddarat\, brown lentils are boiled then bulgur is added to the broth; sliced onions slowly caramelized in olive oil\, until crispy and then the flavoured oil is added to the lentil-bulgur mix\, and the finished dish topped with the fried onions. \nKhyar belaban خيار بلبن\nMuch like tzatziki\, it’s well-known Greek cousin\, this combines cool yogurt with garlic and cucumbers\, but the addition of mint makes for an especially delightful\, cool and refreshing summer salad. \nSfouf صفوف\nA light\, delicate semolina cake\, made golden with turmeric and fragrant with anise\, vanilla\, and coconut\, studded with black sesame seeds and topped with pistachio. \n$20 +HST \n\nMeals are available for pickup from The Depanneur\,\n1033 College Street (between Dufferin & Dovercourt) from 6–7pm\nfoodora sponsors FREE Delivery within 3km radius\n(approx.

While a popular dish throughout the Middle East\, it is virtually unknown in North America. It’s based on the leaves of the jute plant (the same one that produces jute fibre for rope & fabric)\, but known by many other names as well\, including West African sorrel\, bush okra and Jew’s mallow. This plant has been under cultivation in the Levant for millennia\, and was likely on the table of the ancient Egyptians. \nThe leaves can be found fresh (only rarely in Toronto)\, frozen\, dried or powdered. For the Syrian version of this dish\, dried whole leaves are preferred for the best flavour; they are cooked with garlic\, coriander and lemon. The cooked greens are topped with shredded chicken that has been poached separately in a broth with onion and spices\, and served alongside basmati rice. \n[vegetarian] Molokhia ملوخية‎‎\nThe same dish\, but without chicken\, instead served with a savoury haloumi & mozzarella cheese fatayer (pastry). \nBaba Ganouj\nOne of the most famous and popular Middle Eastern mezze dips; smoky eggplant dip with yogurt\, tahini & garlic. The Syrian version is often beautifully garnished with pomegranate molasses\, pomegranate seeds and parsley. Served with fresh pita bread \nLazakiat لزاقيات\nProbably my all-time favourite Syrian dish I’ve discovered through Newcomer Kitchen.

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\, summery version of of the dish\, that take advantage of the lovely local eggplants\, peppers\, zucchini and tomatoes that are in season. All the sliced vegetables are traditionally arranged in attractive layered patterns in a large shallow round pan before baking. \n[vegetarian] Maldoum ملضوم\nThe same dish\, but with more veggies\, no meat\, and a generous splash of olive oil. \nBoth come with a side of Majaddarat Bulgur مجدرة برغل\nWell known in many Syrian villages\, this staple dish of bulgur\, lentils and onions is highly regarded for its nutritional value and health benefits. In Syria\, lentils\, with their high iron content\, are sometimes called the “meat of the poor” ( المجدرة لحم الفقراء); or “nails for your knees” (المجدرة مسمامير الركب) in the sense that they help keep you on your feet for a long time. In majaddarat\, brown lentils are boiled then bulgur is cooked in the broth. While it cooks\, sliced onions are slowly caramelized in olive oil until crispy and then the flavoured oil is added to the lentil-bulgur mix. The finished dish is topped with the fried onions. \nKhyar belaban خيار بلبن\nMuch like tzatziki\, it’s well-known Greek cousin\, this combines cool yogurt with garlic and cucumbers\, but the addition of mint makes for an especially delightful\, cool and refreshing summer salad. \nKaak bel Ajweh كعك بالعجوة\nDelicious\, date-stuffed cookies flavoured with vanilla\, anise\, sesame seeds and mahlab\, a spice derived from cherry kernels that imparts a lovely marzipan aroma. These cookies are popular in Lebanon around Easter\, where they are known as “Crown” cookies\, their ring shape are thought to evoke Jesus’ crown of thorns. \n$20 +HST \n\nMeals are available for pickup from The Depanneur\,\n1033 College Street (between Dufferin & Dovercourt) from 6–7pm\nfoodora sponsors FREE Delivery within 3km radius\n(approx.

This delightful dish of sautéed broad beans with garlic and coriander is extra special when made with fresh young beans\, but is also easily made with readily-available frozen beans. \n— Lunch —\nA fabulous brunch spread of the fresh Jazmaz and Foul will be served along with some labneh\, pitta bread and a selection of Middle Eastern jams\, juice and coffee or tea. \n— Afternoon —\nYou’ll learn how to make 2 exquisite mezze dips\, as well as a chance to roll out and bake traditional Syrian flatbread on the domed saj oven. \nMuhammara — a rich\, complex and slightly spicy dip of roasted red peppers\, tomato\, walnuts\, pomegranate molasses and Aleppo pepper. \nM’tabbal Kousa — a light\, refreshing alternative to the more common baba ganoush\, made with zucchini in a light yogurt and tahini dressing with garlic and fresh herbs. \nThe day will wrap up with an afternoon coffee break and chance to enjoy your freshly-made mezzes and bread\, and take home any extras.\n—– \n$125 +HST \n—– \nNewcomer Kitchen is a new project that invites groups of Syrian newcomer women to use our kitchen to cook traditional Syrian dishes in a fun\, social setting. Meals are prepared and packaged\, and then sold online for pickup or delivery to pay for all the ingredients and provide a source of revenue for the cooks. \nWe also offer “Guest Cook” spots on Wednesdays where you can help & hang out in the kitchen\, learn the recipes and join the ladies for family meal. These can now be booked via AirBnB Experiences \nProceeds from the sale of meals goes directly to the newcomer cooks. However this does not cover the costs of the enormous amount of behind-the-scenes coordination required to keep this project going. You can support the Newcomer Kitchen project directly and our vision of expanding this model to support more women in more neighbourhoods!\nHelp us take this idea into any restaurant kitchen\, in any city in the world!\n—– \nLearn more about the Newcomer Kitchen project\n—– \nEvery week\, The Depanneur invites TO’s best culinary talents to lead fun\, hands-on workshops.\nLearn more about Workshops at The Depanneur URL:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/event/workshop-canada-day-syrian-brunch-with-newcomer-kitchen/ LOCATION:1033 College Street\, Toronto\, Ontario\, m6k 2b5\, Canada CATEGORIES:Newcomer Kitchen,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/facebook_event_223626068154772.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Depanneur":MAILTO:info@thedepanneur.ca END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
