Traditional Mansaf Recipe

Mansaf is the national dish of Jordan and I can understand why. This Bedouin dish is fantastic! Mansaf is served on a large serving platter over khubz (Arabic flatbread) and rice. It is meant to be eaten communally, as part of a social event. Guests gather around the table and enjoy mansaf, eaten with the finger tips of the right hand.

Blackened Spicy Shrimp Recipe

The blackening cooking technique was developed by New Orleans Chef Paul Prudhomme. The shrimp is drenched in butter, and dredged in the blackening spices. It is then seared in very hot cast iron skillet for a couple of minutes. The result is a nearly black encrusted, and most delectable shrimp dish.
