Those biscuits are fantastic, my next trial of middle eastern food 😋

I make lentil soup with celery,carrots and spinach and eat it with lavash bread and salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeños. Yummy

Yes and for those that are wheat intolerant. THanks...

I like lentil soup so will try yours next time. Need to get more lentils first though. My diet is plant based vegan but I enjoy watching everything you make and the tip for cauliflower in the biscuits is fantastic. Looking beautiful as you always do.

It is not insane. It Will work.😊

خفيفة الظل وجميله وانيقه ومحترمه ♥️♥️

It all looks good and very easy to make thank you for your dedication and work

Ty - I love these versions xxx

Perfect ingredients for the lentil soup! As a purist, I would go without the carrots., but it's a matter of preference.

I appreciate the major changes in bread as its difficult to maintain weight loss with everything we eat has to have bread I know peoples who eat bread with everything even rice. Well done creative bread making and the touch of Zaater made my day I add zaater to almost everything. Again many many thanks

Looove the cauliflower bread great recipe!!!!

It looks beautiful, I shall try it!!

Mmmmm...... good looking soup Blanche!! Bread looks awesome too! Thumbs Up!!!

Buiscuits are so delicious! Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for these amazing vegan & vegan option recipes, I can't wait to make them! I just finished eating a big pot of your delicious Mujaddara, I love it.

Put some olives in pieces and you can use corn floor the one that they are using for polenda and baking poweder or the beer colture that they are using for making bread

Love Adas (pink lentil) soup. I make it all the time and can have it everyday! It's comfort food. Many restaurants in the middle east serve a free cup between when one sits down and when one orders their food. Similar to how courtesy bread is served here in the US. Cumin is fantastic with it. Sa7teen Blanche!

No wonder Middle Eastern people are healthier, a lentil soup rather than a bread starter is a great idea! Basil I mentioned you a couple of times in this one in regards to the lowcarb bread!

Blanche, flattered! Very inventive. Never thought about combining the cauliflower with the coconut and almond flower. Can't wait to try. My love for this food channel grows. Teslam eidik.

As a person who has lost 94 lbs using a low carb diet, in combination with intermittent fasting, I really appreciate the low carb za'atar bread. Its always nice to find low carb approximations of the high carb foods I used to enjoy. Thank you so much! As a challenge, is there a way you can do a video on how to make low carb Middle Eastern desserts - especially baklava and kanafeh?

Drake Santiago my mom makes a coconut kunafeh with shredded coconut and ricotta cheese and sweetens it with a erythritol and stevia mixed powder. You can even add rose or orange blossom water and make it into a syrup but it really doesn’t need it. It tastes so yummy!

HI Drake--congratulations! KETO and IF are an awesome way of life, and you are on the right track to lifelong wellness! I just made a keto namoura for my father the other day (a lowcarb variation of semolina/farina yogurt cake drenched in syrup). If I get the guts I can release that one. Now baklava and kunafa are a little harder because they both contain dough, I need to think about that one. But for kunafa and baklava you can reduce the sugar dramatically by using allulose syrup, which is the lowest glycemic sweetener out there.: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVDDCL6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B06WVDDCL6&linkCode=as2&tag=blancheshahee-20&linkId=a37cd46641738d23ae97bd0997a8262a

Can you do a video on how to make candy? There's this candy I buy at our Mediterranean store that's like a white nougat with pistachios. It's very expensive but delicious. also I've bought these cookies at the assyrian bakery that are like sugar cookies but have a rose taste. Like rose flavored cookies. So delicious!

Can I add almond meal for the zaatar bread instead of the almond flour or coconut flour

@blanchetv

5 жыл бұрын

You probably can, but almond flour does not absorb as much liquid, so you might need to add more water as you go.

You cookers always try the food.

I love lentil soup made with green lentils, carrot slices, chunks of yellow onion, small chunks of freshly cooked bacon, small chunks of fresh baking potatoes, Almost a whole bulb of garlic, and fresh slices of celery! Bacon can be replaced by baked chicken torn or cut into small chunks, use chicken stock made with the juices of fried skin, and hot curry powder. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and use Jewish rye bread, dill rye, or caraway rye bread lightly buttered, to soak up extra juices and clean the inside of the bowl when finished. 😋😋😊

In Arabic on the box it says picked in Lebanon, and packaged in Spain. Thankfully Spain also has high produce standards so we could definitely taste the difference between the Cortas food and foods packages in the USA
