What's New This Month...
Melons!
These summer fruits come in a variety of shapes and colors, but I love the early crop that grows in the Sinaii. It is so sweet that vendors often refer to as 'ananas'-aka pineapple. The fruit are round, small and very fragrant, and when you cut them open, a beautiful creamy green color appears and the fruit drips with juice.
We peel them, slice them and dry them to a crisp in our solar tunnel. Their flavor is intensified by the drying process and they are great low calorie snack. A 75g bag sells for LE 20.
Coriander Seeds!
Grown under safe agriculture practices, these seeds are a very important ingredient in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking. I grind them and use them in our all time favorite Egyptian molokheya and in Indian dishes. Whole, I add them to my jar of black olives to add flavor. A 50g bag sells for LE10.
