Making your own pesto might sound extravagant, but in fact it’s super easy and will sure make you win your friends impression. It can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge, just make sure that it has a decent layer of olive oil on the surface to make it last for longer period of time. Pesto is not only tasty with spaghetti, but is brilliantly combined to Turkey Panini or grilled Chicken and many other dishes. I enjoy more making the pesto myself when I know that the basil leaves have been freshly picked in my garden, the pine nuts are sourced from my mother-in-law –they have 20,000 sqm of pine nuts trees around their house in Baskinta– the olive oil is from the south of Lebanon –39% of the regional distribution of olive groves in Lebanon comes from the South- The outcome is fabulous! . . . Original Easy Pesto Sauce -50g Fresh Basil (or 2 big handfuls of fresh basil), chopped -1tbsp pine nuts -6tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil -Sea Salt and Pepper -25g Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated Directions: To make the pesto, in a food processor blend basil, pine nuts and Parmesan around 30 seconds or until you have a smooth paste (Though, if you like it coarse, using your food processor click the pulse button very quickly maybe once or twice). Add the olive oil to the mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper. If you don’t have a food processor you can use a mortar and a pestle. . . . #pesto #pestochicken #homemadepesto #italianfood #mayasingredients #pasta #salad #dressing #cookingideas #easyrecipes #pantry #lebanon #foodbloggerlebanon #foodstylistlebanon #fooddubai #foodstudio #foodphotography

I learned this recipe from my sister Hala. She has a whole repertoire of delicious recipes that can be ready in half an hour. She, like many working women has little time to spend in the kitchen and big concern about giving her family the right healthy food. When she first gave it to me, I thought it was too simple to be good, but it turned out to be one of the juiciest and most flavored beef strips recipe, I cook. It’s a family meal! When it’s on the menu: NO complains, everyone is eating happily. This recipe can be done with rice or mashed potatoes, it can also be prepared as a festive dish, trust me, your guests are going to love it. Tenderloin Strips Easy Version Ingredients: 1kg beef tenderloin, cut into strips 1 onion 1 garlic clove 200g mushrooms, sliced ¾ cup Ketchup ¾ cup olive oil ¾ cup soy sauce ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 1 tbsp butter 2 cups basmati rice Preparation: Marinate in the refrigerator, beef strips with ketchup sauce, soy sauce and olive oil, overnight. Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot and add the onions and the garlic. Sauté for few minutes or until the onion starts to wilt and the garlic starts to turn golden. Add the meat and cook until it starts to brown on all sides, add the marinade, season with salt and pepper and let it simmer, with the lid on, until the meat is tender and the liquid is reduced and reaches a thick consistency. Finally, add the mushrooms and let it simmer on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook the rice according to package instructions and serve hot with beef strips. Note: Since the marinade has a big amount of soy sauce, which is high in sodium, better not to add too much salt. . . . #tenderloin #juicymeat #mayasingredients #mayaoryan #foodphotography #foodstylist #recipeideas #easyrecipes #quickmeals #stroganoff #beef #cook #easyrecipes #foodblog #foodstylistdubai #foodbloggerlebanon #foodstylistlebanon #baking #menu #kitchen #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodgasm #foodksa #chef #italianfood #Foodstudio #foodphotos #dinner

“Turmus for Lebanese or "tremoços" for Portuguese, are very popular in summer as a snack while drinking beer. Lupin beans is often sold by street vendors, as a very popular snack in Egypt and Ecuador. They can be eaten by making a small tear in the skin with one's teeth and "popping" the seed directly into one's mouth.

Lemon curd tops my lemon tart to make it epic, and layers my blueberry cake to make it a star dish and spreads over my coconut scone to make it morish. This is how I make it! Ingredients 4 egg yolks 2/3 cup sugar 1 tbsp lemon zest 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice Pinch of salt 85g /6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature and diced Preparation This is best done in a double boiler or in “Bain Marie”. Fill a small saucepan with water (about 4 inches) and bring it to boil, reduce the heat to keep the water at a simmer and place a clear Pyrex bowl inside. Make sure the size of the heatproof bowl (i.e. the Pyrex) is not too smaller than the saucepan so the steam is concentrated underneath it. Place egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt into the Pyrex bowl and whisk until completely blended. As the curd cooks, whisk constantly until the mixture becomes thick, around 10 minutes. Off the heat, add the butter dices and whisk until completely melted. Pour curd into a jar. Leave it open until completely cooled. Store in refrigerator up to 10-14 days. . . . . . #lemoncurd #lemon #crèmeaucitron #lemoncake #lemontart #blueberrymuffins #coconutcake #foodphotographylebanon #foodphotographyandstyling #foodstylistlebanon #foodbloggerlebanon #spread #fancydesserts #mayasingredients #mayaandsergefoodstudio #foodstudio #recipewriter #preserve #foodphotographydubai #foodksa #foodq8 #scone #citronnier #lemoncupcake

This is the broad beans season in Lebanon and prices have dropped to less than 1000LBP per kg. In Lebanese currency this is really cheap. So we ate “fül” (broad beans) with beer, we cooked some as a stew with cumin and oil, we put a stack in the freezer. What else? A salad! This salad makes a refreshing side dish. People enjoy most, the combinations of fresh thyme and lemon zest that brings a burst of brightness to the rice. It is done with Basmati rice, but I like to mix my basmati with black forbidden rice, I’m not sure if I do it because of the flavors or because of the name 😊. Forbidden rice or “emperor’s rice” earned its name because it was once reserved for the Chinese emperor to ensure his health and longevity, and forbidden to anyone else. It is gaining popularity for its high levels of antioxidants and superior nutritional value (thank you wiki). I used today a Tilda Basmati Rice & Wild Rice pack, it contains 2 kinds of rice in 1 bag. Like any salad, other ingredients of your choice can be added. “Who knew Rice Salad could be so good!”. Lemon Rice Salad Ingredients -1 cup basmati rice, uncooked -2.5 cups water -Zest of 1 lemon -1/3 cup thyme leaves -3/4 cup fresh broad beans, skinless -1/2 cup unsalted pistachios, soaked in water and peeled Dressing: 1/2 cup olive oil - 1/4 cup lemon juice - Sea salt, to taste Preparation 1.Bring water to boil, then pour in rice. Cook rice until tender and water is all absorbed. (I used a mix of white and black basmati). 2.Place cooled rice in a salad bowl and stir in lemon zest, thyme, beans and pistachios. 3.Combine dressing ingredients together and drizzle over the salad. Toss to well combine. . . . . . . . #salad #basmati #beans #blackrice #dill #easyrecipes #emperor_rice #favabeans #fül #foodbloggerlebanon #foodstylistlebanon #forbiddenrice #lemon #lemonherbricesalad #MayaOryan #foodphotographylebanon #MayasIngredients #Pistachios #thyme #tilda_rice #wildrice #veganrecipes

Wrap the dough in an oiled plastic film and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in volume. Knock back the dough and divide into 2 portions.
