Re: Some of my fav dishes
Beavie, the first one I have never attempted to make but I will get the recipe for you all
The second, I love making and will give you a run down on it.
Ground coffee, the powerey the coffee the better for it to work.
If you can't get the pot that you can see in the picture, then whatever small saucepan you have will do.
Meassure a cup worth of cold water and place in saucepan/pot.
A tsp of the coffee
Sugar to your prefarance.
Turn heat up high and let it start boil. Once it rises, turn heat down.
Keep stirring and occassionaly stop and let the liquid to rise but do not leave it to simply boil over or you will have no coffee.
This will be done in under 5mins.
Place contents in to cup and enjoy

Re: Some of my fav dishes
Turkish baklava
1 package fillo sheets
1 lb butter, melted
1 lb walnuts, chopped
3 cup sugar, white granulated
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon or 1/4 tsp ground and 1 stick cinnamon
Chop walnuts to medium fine and mix with 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Melt the butter and cut the fillo in half so that each sheet fits the bottom of the baking pan.
Generously butter the bottom and sides of the baking pan and place the fillo, one sheet at a time, in the baking pan. Generously spread butter on each sheet of fillo as it is placed in the pan. Every 6 to 8 sheets of fillo spread a layer of walnut mix. Continue layering fillo sheets and walnuts until fillo is complete. Pour any remaining butter over top of the baklava. The secret to good flaky baklava is to have each sheet of fillo well buttered so that the sheets do not stick together. With a sharp knife, cut the baklava diagonally to form diamond shaped pieces.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the baklava for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
For the syrup: Mix one cup water, two cups sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and either 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon or the cinnamon stick in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Pour the boiling syrup over the cool baklava and allow to cool completely again. When cool serve individual pieces with strong (Turkish) sweet coffee and dried apricots for an exquisite dessert.

Re: Some of my fav dishes
lol - Musi, baklava and Turkish coffee are both among my faves as well - to the point that my family has gotten me baklava instead of a birthday cake before. I knew there must be a reason we get along so well - it's the universal baklava link.

Re: Some of my fav dishes
Hi Musie...
I have this Baklava Recipe. I never tried it. If it isn't the same as you are thinking then maybe we can find another.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
1 pound chopped nuts
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey
--------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Butter the bottoms and sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
Chop nuts and toss with cinnamon. Set aside. Unroll phyllo dough. Cut whole stack in half to fit pan. Cover phyllo with a dampened cloth to keep from drying out as you work. Place two sheets of dough in pan, butter thoroughly. Repeat until you have 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle 2 - 3 tablespoons of nut mixture on top. Top with two sheets of dough, butter, nuts, layering as you go. The top layer should be about 6 - 8 sheets deep.
Using a sharp knife cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan. You may cut into 4 long rows the make diagonal cuts. Bake for about 50 minutes until baklava is golden and crisp.
Make sauce while baklava is baking. Boil sugar and water until sugar is melted. Add vanilla and honey. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove baklava from oven and immediately spoon sauce over it. Let cool. Serve in cupcake papers. This freezes well. Leave it uncovered as it gets soggy if it is wrapped up.
