Need egyptian fingerfood recipes!?
Any egyptian recipes or ideas will be apreciated!
Its for an egytian theme function.
Answers:
Egyptian Culture as far as a party/function goes is based on LOTS! of Food, GOOD music & Dancing.
Pita bread (acts as silverware) so have lots of it,
U asked for finger foods,all of it is sort of...bread is the silverware.Perspective.
Roasted Chicken, Lamb(no mint jelly--'Egyptian'), unless u really want to,then by all means go ahead.
Kofta is 'really delicious' & really easy 2 make:
hamburger meat w/ 6 basic spices: garlic, onion, parsley, paprika, S&P put in alot of the spices; u want the spices "strong" ,but not overbearing, spices-ALOT.
Roll it up like a giant hotdog & cook 'em like hamburgers*.
Rice Pilaf,Hummus & Tabbouleh...
The Hummus & Tabbouleh are like a dip & a salsa.Not Mexican salsa, but I'm trying 2 describe a 'lil, here.
Mint/Cucumber Salad.
Fruit,Dates etc...
With these items alone u can make sandwiches also; take the bread open or not--u could just lay it in ur hand, & put some Hummus, meat, Tabboulah, or the cucumber/mint salad on it & Enjoy.
* I don't know exactly how to make Kofta, my Aunt & mom said & showed me w/ a 'flip of ur wrist type-a attitude', & don't measure ANYTHING, that's how I learned to cook, it's a family thang.Kept it simple & easy so I'd remember it,well.

Egyptian Fish Kofta
These are like Spanish croquettas. The spice mix used is quite delicate. Serve with a side dish that is crisp or that is spicy.
2-4 servings / 10-12 kofta/ 1 hour 30 min prep
275 g boneless white fish
250 g potatoes
1 garlic clove
1/2 small chopped onion
2 tablespoons fresh coriander
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 beaten eggs
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs
2 cups oil (for frying)
1. Poach fish in salted water for 10 minutes. Remove when cooked.
2. Boil peeled and quartered potatoes in the same water for 15 minutes. Remove and mash them.
3. While the fish is cooling, boil the potatoes. When the fish is cool enough to handle, tear the fish into pieces, feeling for any remaining bones (remove them).
4. Drain the potatoes when they are done, and lightly mash them with a fork in a bowl. Add the chopped coriander and parsely, crushed garlic and finely chopped onions while the potatoes are still warm. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cumin.
5. Add the fish. Blend it well, but don't thoroughly mash the fish. Adjust the flavor to your liking.
6. Heat the oil for frying.
7. Make walnut-sized balls of this fish mixture in the palm of your hand. Dip the pieces in the beaten egg. Next, dip the pieces in coarse bread crumbs.
8. Fry 4 - 5 pieces at a time in hot oil until brown on both sides. Remove to drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
9. Serve with squeezed lemon.
