Two weeks ago, my best friend and I decided to go ahead with a 3-Day detox program. We have done it before but not with a specialized company. The last detox was homemade relying on Dr. Oz’s 3-day detox. The first time it was hard to the extent we had a whole adverse reaction right after it although analyzing it, it is much more filling and varied than the one we did with the company. The Dr. Oz detox had healthy fats such as Avocados, almond butter, coconut oil etc.., this one didn’t, it was more vegetable based, and funny because this is the ‘Beginner’s’ level’ I wonder what the advanced level would look like!  I didn’t find it difficult the second time, in fact when I reminded myself that it is almost over, it got easier.

Lebanese Moghrabieh Recipe | From My Kitchen

IMG_6289 copy

There are quite a few popular Lebanese dishes that have a reputation of being very difficult to make, which is probably why many people wait to go to their mom’s house to eat them. Moghrabieh is one of them. Moghrabieh looks like a grain or an oversized couscous but  has more of a pasta texture made of Semolina and is  formed into small balls, you can buy a dried version (shown above) or a frozen version and wait for it to thaw. this is the carb part of the dish, the main flavors include Caraway, a spice which has a distinct and refreshing flavor, also used as base for a popular dessert called Mighli.

The other ingredients in my version of the Moghrabieh, include: chicken, preferably thighs, baby onions or shallots, chickpeas (already soaked or canned would be perfect), chicken stock (I make it from the thighs with additional herbs, onion, & garlic). I will walk you through the recipe below and list the ingredients at the end, this way you will be more familiar with the process.
