L'HAM LAHLOU - ALGERIAN / NORTH AFRICAN SWEET LAMB DISH.



L'ham Lahlou - Algerian / North African Sweet Lamb Dish. image

This dish is traditionally cooked in Algeria for eating during Ramadan and on special ocassions. It is hardly ever eaten as a main course, but as a small dish after the main. This recipe freezes well. In my family, it's only my husband that eats it so I freeze individual portions for him. I tend to play around with the recipe and change the fruit around and add a little extra liquid. This is just one of hundreds of variations of this recipe, I will post a few alternatives later.

CROATIAN BBQ LAMB LIVER



Croatian BBQ Lamb Liver image

Lamb liver is usually regarded as meat surplus or just trash. But whoever tries lamb liver will change this unjust bias. (You can try this meal with pork or veal liver, but it is not so good). This is very simple BBQ recipe.

CHERMOULA



Chermoula image

Chermoula is a North African marinade, used especially for fish. It also makes a great dipping sauce or salad dressing. This recipe has plenty of tang and has been adapted from one by Julie Le Clerc. I use coriander (cilantro) rather than parsley and Lee Kum Kee's Chili Garlic Sauce rather than a small red chili. I like the end product so much that I can eat it with a spoon. Yummo!

TRADITIONAL ALGERIAN SABLES (COOKIES) - LIKE LINZER AUGEN



Traditional Algerian Sables (Cookies) - Like Linzer Augen image

This is my own family recipe for the traditional Algerian 'Sables' cookies. These sables are very easy to make & are a real favourite in our home. We like them with strawberry jam filling & icing sugar dusting or with apricot jam filing & dessicated coconut finish... but you can use any of your favourite preserves (if they have fruit pieces in you should sieve them before using. I have a special 4cm fluted sables cutter but you can use any cutters. I oftern use star cutters then punch out the small round centre by using a small metal bottle top (like on food colourings), or round cutter & using a small star, heart or flower cutter for the centre. These sables freeze nicely in layers separated by parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container. Allow to defrost in a single layer then dust the tops & fill with jam.

Time 33m

Yield 25-35 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large free range egg
2 1/2 cups plain flour (allpurpose)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup strawberry jam (or preserve of your choice)
1/2-3/4 cup icing sugar (confectioners)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 170°C
  • Cream the margarine & sugar(s) until light & fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg & vanilla, then gradually fold in the flour & baking powder.
  • Mix slowly until a soft dough forms. The dough is very soft & needs handling with care but it shouldn't be sticky. If your dough is still a little sticky, sift in a little extra flour.
  • Roll out to about 4mm thick, be sure to flour the rolling pin well.
  • Cut out 'tops & bottoms' for your sables.
  • Place on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil (shiny side up) & bake for 8 minutes. The sables should be just set but still white.
  • Allow the sables to cool on the sheet for a minute then remove to a cold plate or tray to finish cooling.
  • When the sables are fully cooled, heat the jam until bubbling.
  • Place all the sables tops onto a tray & dust generously with the icing sugar.
  • Allow the jam to cool slightly then spoon approx 1/2 tsp of the jam onto the underside of the sables 'bottoms'.
  • Then carefully place a 'top' over the blob of jam.
  • Allow to set, then store in one layer in an airtight container for upto 10 days.
