Vermicelli Rice, A Table Essential
When I was a young child I was such a fussy eater. Nothing I liked more than a warm plate of vermicelli rice with some yoghurt. My mum ,understandably, was not that keen on such a diet and she kept trying with me to eat different stuff. I am so glad ...
Moghrabieh, Couscous of the other end of the Mediterranean

Hi Claudia
Thanks for the nice words.
Unfortunately I don't know much about Karabige. This dish is from Aleppo and I am from Damascus. I know loads of Aleppan dishes but not this one. As far as I know, it is some kind of sweet pastry/pie but not sure what kind of dough or stuffing is used in it.
I will keep it in mind and if I come across a recipe I will publish on my blog.
(sorry I rated myself but it won't let me submit my comment unless I enter a rating)
