Useful tips for preparing Middle Eastern Dips and Spreads

July 11, 2008 by recipesweber

There are many delicious dips and spreads in Middle Eastern cuisine. The most famous Middle Eastern spread in the world is hummus, made of crushed chick peas [garbanzo] and other ingredients. Other well-known spreads are Tahini and Baba Ganouj [roasted eggplant], etc.

Commercially prepared dips and spreads are available in every supermarket. But, the authentic Middle Eastern taste, as well as freshness, which you will experience when you prepare you own dips and spreads will convince you that the little bit of time invested is well worthwhile

Commercial dips and spreads have a long shelf life in the refrigerator, due to preservatives. Your homemade goodies, made without preservatives have a relatively short shelf, but that doesn’t matter, since they are so delicious that everyone quickly gobbles them up.

Middle Eastern dips can serve as hor d’oerves or appetizers for all kinds of meals. They are easy, fun and really spark the appetite. Pita bread, cut into wedges and Middle Eastern dips are perfect partners. Scoop up the dip with the pita; no knife or spoon needed

There are a few rules to keep in mind for preparing Middle Eastern dips and spreads.
Following these rules will almost always assure you of success.

  1. Use only the highest quality extra virgin olive oil. It’s essential for your Middle Eastern dip success
  2. Don’t use cheaper ingredients, buy the best, freshest cooking ingredients you can afford
  3. You must refrigerate your dips and spreads, since they don’t contain preservatives the will spoil quickly outside of the fridge.

Pita Bread

May 21, 2008 by recipesweber

Yesterday evening I had some free time, so I decided to prepare one of the most special, tasty Middle Eastern recipes I know- Pita Bread.

Well It took me a while, it’s not the easiest recipe to prepare, but the effort was defiantly worth it. After the first Pita Bread came out of the oven me and my girlfriend tore it apart, so it was gone after 10 seconds. Then when the second came out, we added some top quality butter, and this time we took thing more slowly so we can really enjoy the freshness and awesome taste of the Pita Bread. I prepared 8 Pita Breads, and none were left after no more than 1 hour.

Next time I’ll try to be less greedy, and maybe prepare more pitas (12-15)

Hot Pepper Dip Experience

May 11, 2008 by recipesweber

When I was a kid I didn’t like hot, spicy foods. I remember one time when I was 16, when I went with my family to an oriental Iraqi restaurant. It wasn’t the first time I went to this kind of restaurant, the food was good and we were having a great time. Then at some point I tried to eat green raw hot pepper, wow that was terrible, I felt like I was burning, and nothing I tried could ease it. So after that I thought “No more with this hot stuff”. But things did change. I don’t remember when exactly , guess somewhere in my early 20’s I started to eat some foods with hot spices, first very little, and then gradually more and more. There was one kind of food that I really started to love Hot Pepper Dip, which is coming from Yemenite. I found out that is goes well with many kinds of food like: bread, hummus, potatoes, some soups, meat and more. My love to hot, spicy foods is no question today, it’s almost an addiction. Yesterday I prepared my preferred recipe for hot pepper dip, and it surely contributed to my great Saturday.
