Best Algerian Mchewek My Traditional Family Recipes
M'SHEWSHA - ALGERIAN EGG DISH FOR BREAKFAST OR COFFEE
This is a traditional family recipe for M'shewsha. M'shewsha is a delicious Algerian dish made with lots of eggs, a little semolina & a little flour. You pour warm honey over it & allow it to soak in........delicious! M'shewsha can be enjoyed for breakfast or with afternoon coffee - it tastes like a cross between a fluffy pancake & French toast! Traditional, it is thought to give you a lot of strength - manual labourers eat it often, as do women who've just had a baby! This is also great for Suhor during Ramadan - yum!

Steps:
- Pour all the ingredients into a blender / liquidizer & mix well.
- Pour into a large (25cm-30cm) non stick frying pan / skillet. If you don't have a non stick pan, just wipe or spray with a littlle cooking oil first.
- Cook on a low- only just medium heat with the lid on until it is puffed up, the sides come away from the pan & the top is almost totally firm & no longer sticky - this should take about 15 minutes.
- Carefully, slide the M'shewsah onto a dinner plate (you mustn't knock it or it will deflate!) Then return to the pan, with the cooked side up - hold the pan over the plate & flip carefully.
- Cook for a further 10 - 15 minutes & turn out onto a plate.
- Warm honey in the microwave until just warm enough to pour.
- Cut the M'shewsha into 8 slices - but do not separate the slices. Pour the honey all over & allow to soak for a minute or two before serving.
- You can eat M'shewsha warm or cold.
