Chef Reem Assil Makes Mahalabiya—an Arab-Style Custard Dessert
In the third and final episode of The 7x7 Spice-In, Bay Area chef Reem Assil is making her favorite summer dessert: mahalabiya, a sweet and creamy Arab-style custard.
"I became obsessed with mahalabiya when I first opened my bakery," says Assil, who infuses her milk custard, similar to Italian panna cotta, with aromatic cardamom, dried rose, and rose water. This summer, she's topping it with fresh, seasonal strawberries.
Tune in to make this super simple yet totally delicious dessert with the founder of Reem's California restaurants in San Francisco and Oakland.
The 7x7 Spice-In is a series of three online cooking classes that aims to bring the warmth of Arab hospitality into your home during the Covid-19 pandemic. Visit 7x7.com for more fun things to do in the Bay Area.

มุมมอง 1.9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
"The more Arab my mom wanted us to be, the more American we wanted to be," says Reem Assil, remembering her upbringing in a Middle Eastern family living in Boston. As a kid, all Reem wanted to eat was spaghetti and meatballs, so her mom got clever and found a way to sate her kids' craving but with a Levantine twist. Today, Assil makes her mom's kafta meatballs in a classic seven-spice tomato sa...

    Rather than having two versions of a dish, I would like to embrace the true version of each. It wasn't until recently that I learned about mutabal and I think it is important to make the distinction now that I am no longer ignorant. Thank you for the information and nice presentation!

    Peoportions? You mention two eggplants but you seem to prepare only one in the first recipe.

    That should be Turkish food, not Arab. Eggplants themselves were brought to Europe by Spaniards and then Ottomans learned about it, so this food as it’s name has it, must be turkish, because ottomans now are turks, isn’t it?

    I just made the chunky style baba ganoush salad from this video and it was so crazy good. Had it with warm fresh pita, and grilled kaftas. It made for a memorable Sunday evening meal.

    Thank you, olive oil is bad for health but I know as a chef you care your people like things, you don't care if they have bypass l at 60 or cancer at 40. The more olive oil the better taste, more votes you"f say.... But salt is really too much. Just 2 cent worth of my opinion.

    • @amordebelleza4770
      @amordebelleza4770 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Olive oil most definitely is not bad for your health. Processed oils, especially seed oils, are bad for your health. Always use animal fats, butters, avacado oil, coconut oil, and olive oils. Stay away from synthetic oils and seed oils such as corn, canola, grapeseed, and sunflower seed oils.

    Oh, that looks so good. Smokey roasting of the eggplant is way to go. I like spicy as well. Indian market is 1 1/2 blocks form my home. A new tool was added to my kitchen called a food mill. Sure some uses for it can be found. It is great for separating skins/seeds holding back some of the bitter components.
