DAILY RECIPE

Sambusa

SUBMITTED BY: SAFIYOSMOMMY 

This is a Somali recipe. I learned it by watching my Somali friends around Ramadan and I was able to make my own variation. They are really good and I can't stop eating them. They are served during Ramadan, Weddings, Parties, or just because. A seasoned ground beef mixture is wrapped in a cone shaped package and deep fried. For a variation you can substitute shredded beef for ground beef.

Harissa

Submitted by: NORMM1 
Harissa is a traditional accompaniment with Moroccan and North African food. I badgered this out of one of my mates who was a cook in a Sydney restaurant. Use sparingly as it is powerfully HOT. The fresh lift of the mint with ground and fresh coriander really works to bring a sensational taste to all recipes I have used it in.
