Speedy Preserved Lemons

This recipe is so simple and yet produces delicious preserved lemons in a few hours. Yes, a few hours. And they'll last for at least a month out of the fridge. It's a proportional recipe, but I used five lemons this time.

Molokhia

Molokhia is a staple. I haven't met a single person who grew up in the community (or even a descendent of someone who grew up in the community) that doesn't like it. The texture of the soup is a little gelatinous (similar to Ocra) but don't let that put you off! Cutting the leaves very fine minimises this and anyway, it's part of what makes it so satisfying.

Finikia

These biscuits were adopted by the Jews in Sudan from their neighbours in the Greek community. Friends taught friends, who passed it on to their friends and so the recipe changed and was adapted from the traditional Greek version.

Ka'ak bil Agwa

Ka'ak is a biscuit and Agwa is a date - these are the imaginatively named 'Biscuits with dates', also known as 'Ma'amoul', although these are slightly smaller and more crunchy than Ma'amoul.
