Thanx Dede, but could ask a favour of you, I can't seem to find a good yoghurt sauce recipe for the stuufed kibbe rolls, so could you point me in the right direction, much appreciated sweety. Thanx again.

well it is slightly warm because of heating the chickpeas, but you can also slightly heat the yogurt.

Hey, dish looks good but I was wondering if there are versions with the whole dish being warm. I was in Syria ages ago and had it once at a restaurant for dinner and once as a lunch at a locals' home (in Lattakia) and both were warm and I always thought the chickpeas were cooked in the yogurt somehow. This version also didn't include meat. Have you come across this or have any advice on making something like it? I know there must be hundreds of versions out there!

labneh is Kefir cheese, it is Mediterranean yogurt but strained to make a nice creamy cheese spread.

the authentic fatteh is made with the tahini and laban, the recipe is correct and how most Lebanese restaurants make it :)

it's pretty much the same thing, just boil a while chicken, remove the bones and use chicken instead of beef :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
yes they were drained for the most part, the written recipe is on my site :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
When you cooked the chick peas, did you drain them? It looked like there was water with them as you added them. Thanks, can't wait to make this.

the tahini is just ground sesame seeds, check out my tahini from scratch recipe.
for the chick peas you need to boil them with water.
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
looks very very nicy cant wait to try it, just a couple of questions
1. is you tahini concentrated or is it the paste diluted with water?
2. to cook the chick peas, do you cover the peas with water and boil or steam them with a little water?
