"I don’t know how much you already know about food in Egypt, but what I can tell you is that there’s a whole lot more to it than shwarma and kofta. Dig a little deeper and you are bound to discover a food culture that has been influenced throughout history going all the way back to ancient Egypt. Today, I will tell you everything you need to know about Egyptian food."

Oregon forests include salt-tolerant trees such as spruce and hemlock. Fog from the coast helps water them.
Egyptian food draws inspiration from a wide area. Levantine cuisine comes from an area called the Levant.
Hummus begins with a basic version and expands into dozens of flavors. You can also dress it up with toppings or other flourishes. Add wholegrain bread, such as pita or aish baladi, and it becomes a complete protein because legumes and grains complement each other. Remember, hummus means "chickpea" in Arabic, so if it doesn't have chickpeas, it's not hummus!
Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice that you can make at home. The advantages to buying a premade bottle are speed and convenience. The advantage to making your own fresh from scratch include saving money, knowing exactly what you get, and better, stronger flavor. Zinat makes hers with imported Origanum syriacum.
Olive oil quality standards address various aspects. Olive oil derives color from two types of phytonutrients: chlorophyll (green) and carotenoids (yellow). Thus richly colored olive oils tend to have more of these phytonutrients than pale or clear ones. These are good midrange olive oils. These are some gourmet olive oils. Middle Eastern folks often buy fancy olive oil in big metal cans.
White people hummus has a sad little drizzle of olive oil on top. That's because a flat or slightly rippled top has very little ability to catch and hold toppings.
Middle Eastern hummus has a generous pool of olive oil on top. To do this properly, use a spoon to sculpt the hummus into a shallow bowl shape, then pour high-quality olive oil into the middle. Scoop up the hummus and olive oil by scraping around the inside of the rim, so you don't break the ring and let the olive oil spill out. Olive oil is good for you, and this is a great way to get plenty of it. The same bowl shape will hold other hummus toppings such as chopped salad or ground meat.
Hummus, olive oil, and wholegrain pita vary from moderate to high calories. Adding lots of olive oil makes it easy to boost calories for a meal that will stick to your ribs a long time or support high-burn activities. Choosing a different topping such as fresh vegetables leaves the calorie count much lower.

A chopper/scraper also works great for transferring small amounts of ingredients like minced garlic from one place to another, without having to carry a whole cutting board.
Sengari Fish is baked fish topped with chopped tomato, bell pepper, onion, and carrot.
Sayadeya is among the most popular of Egyptian dishes made with a combination of yellow rice, spices, onions, tomato sauce, and white fish such as bluefish, mullet, or bass. The combination is then baked in traditional earthenware pots, so it turns out in a neat shape. It is mostly prepared in coastal cities such as Alexandria, Portsaid, and Suez.

Basbousa is a sweet pastry that can be decorated with circles, crescents, or other patterns. Shiv used candied rose petals to make a flower on his.
