Last night, made a bowl of giant couscous, mushrooms, and your grandma's 7-spice mix --- so comforting! ❤ I hope you and your loved ones are well! ❤🙏❤️🙏
I made a scaled-down, mostly pre-ground version just to try it out, where 1tsp = 1cup from your recipe. I just estimated for ground clove and nutmeg. It’s so so so good! I used it in your basic freekeh soup recipe. When I stirred it in, the combined scent with the onions just made me crave kibbeh immediately. Once I buy more allspice berries I’ll be able the make seven spice with whole spices properly. Even if I’m pounding it with the mortar and pestle for a while, it’ll be worth it. 💪🏾 Thank you so much for showing us this recipe.
I made this last month and it has been amazing on every single thing I have tried it on :) So, quinoa, wheatberries, pasta, and even buttered toast! I feel like it is so comforting that I will probably crave it the rest of my life. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for the great video! Interesting about the cardamon - I'd read that it appeared in Palestinian and Jordanian versions of the mixture. I've used a recipe for many years now from a Lebanese friend's mother that is a bit different: 1 tablespoon each of black pepper, allspice and cinnamon; 1 teaspoon each of cloves, coriander, nutmeg and ground ginger. I'll try this version too. Love the channel, by the way. Peace and love from England. :)
My wife and I and my kids just started watching your channel and we’re so excited to try your recipes! Thank you for helping us experience the world through new foods.
Thank you for sharing! I can imagine the wonderful aroma as you prepare the spices. Reminds me of a chai masala recipe from a dear friend, minus the cumin pods & allspice, powdered ginger added. Wishing you and your mom a beautiful day! 😍🌻
Hooray, I can not wait to make this new spice for me. I am going to have to order some ingredients from online but then I am ready to give my dishes the flavor upgrade they all deserve. There are so many recipes I want to substitute my old boring over used spice blends and herbs for this new spice mix. What is really cool is the ingredients are hardly used in my cooking. This will really expand many new meals for my weekly meal plans. Thank You, Thank You for sharing this with us. You are my Hero. I am glad you said take out the cardamom seeds and not to grind the whole pods. I think this is the only recipe on the net that tells us to crack open the pods and only grind up the seeds. Very big tip. When you checked out the aroma from your fresh batch of spice, to the one your grandma made, I laughed out loud. That is something I would so do, then I would taste it, just to be sure. Cheers and Luv from Michigan USA. Props to Mom coming in for the tag, to help you with getting those seeds out of the pods.
I love your videos and your recipes are amazing! I especially love the video with your lovely mother. I have made a few recipes so far and my family is grateful too! Cuban-Mexican family trying to make your delicious recipes. Sending you our best from Los Angeles🤗
You are way to cute, very animated! I enjoy Middle Eastern food very much. I'm always interested in the various blends of spices according to different regions or family preferences. I attended Barber School in Detroit. As I'm sure you are aware it has the largest Arab population in the world outside the Middle East. A Lebanese restaurant was right nextdoor to the school. I had lunch there often and this Southern Boy was introduced to the delights of Mediterranean flavors. Kibbe became a favorite. Thanks for sharing your grandmothers recipe. I'll watch other of your videos now.
Thanks so much! Can you provide all the measurements except cloves in grams before grinding/grating? This would be a huge help. I am searching online for peppercorns in grams and it's saying 120g; not sure if that's accurate for Sittik's recipe. Is the 1/4 Cup green cardamom with the pods? Grams is a more precise way to measure and given that ratios matter here, it would be great to see! ❤As you aren't using the measurements given, am also not sure! 🎉🎉❤. Shukron❤🤩🙏🏼.
It’s so good to see you back! Your recipes have inspired me to try new spices and flavors and I’m loving it! Any chance you can share a good online source for buying quality spices?
Looking for Palestinian recipes to feel comradery with the people now. Thank you. I use a lot of cardamom and to release the seeds I smack the pods all together in my mortar.
Nadia, The best recipe here is You... a fantastic personality, showing full bodied Arabic characteristics, with added lovely American qualities. What a wonderful mix you are. All my love and respect to you and to your parents. Oh, yes... and you can cook 😂😂😂 I am a Palestinian from the UK 🌹
Nothing but nothing but nothing!!! Smells like fresh ground cardamon and nutmeg, I swear I could wear it like a perfume. 💖💖 thank you for this, I was wondering
Thank you for sharing! We as a Pakistani ,also make spice mix in our dishes, and glad to see you're showing it from scratch. But I want to know what's All spice you add it in your blender?
Hi how are you. How you been. Long to wait to see you . I thought you are in dispersion due to war . You are a most cultural, respectful person on your country.
I've been binge-watching all of your videos and just love them. The recipes are wonderful (and are the basis of my grocery list for this week) and I also really appreciate the cultural immersion!!
Personally I would grind the spices individually as you did - some spices will grind quicker than others. This way its easier to maintain consistency. Great to see you back. Hugs from Melbourne
Thanks 🙏🏻 so much take good care of yourself hope you will share some Palestinian favourite meals with us wish you peace good health and happiness!!!🇦🇺🧡🦘🦘🦘✌️
Nadia, you´re so lovely and gentle girl !! Thanks for share all your knowledge about Middle East food. Its great because its for your inner perspective. After all, its about our family experiences and our history, that is different for each of us. Could you make your version of Kibbe Nayeh ? Greetings from Brazil ;-) Sahtein !!
Fortunately I had all the spices and made your version with addition of star anise and saffron … will use it later and will let you know… as always you have an amazing personality! Best wishes for your Channel
We are in the process of revamping our spice chest, we have a few mixes in there and I will add this "Saba Barath" (Seven spices) too. Thanks for sharing.
