Middle Eastern Fried Rice
Today, I utilized some leftovers to create a pretty tasty middle eastern fried rice dish. Yesterday, we ate at Maha's, a really good takeout Filafel place. I had the lamb kabob platter, but there was a lot of tabouli and rice leftover. I mixed them together, had a few bites, then got a better idea.
The middle eastern rice was rice prepared with, as far as I can tell, vermicelli and almond slivers. Tabouli, of course, is a mix of chopped parsley, cracked wheat, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, and some other stuff. Mixing these all together, I started by putting some olive oil and garlic in a pan (which is how I start about 90% of my limited array of cooking) and fried up the mixture. Surprisingly, it was actually pretty good, if not perhaps a little too "busy" with its flavors.
That's really all to report in my life recently. Toodles!
