@Nicolai I'm glad to see Palestinian restaurants coming into existence.As you said, it's a beautiful cuisine that deserves more recognition.
It makes usages of foraged herbs (such as wild zaatar, mallow, wild fennel and nettles) and local vegetables such as almonds, olives, green beans etc. It also makes great usage legumes and grains - lentils, chickpeas and both rice and wheat, including the delicious smoked freekeh wheat.

@shain – is that dill in your tzatziki? The last time I made my tzatziki, I thought it needed a little zhushing up. My recipe has no ‘greenery’ other than cucumber. It is an old Martha Rose Shulman recipe that we’ve loved for years, but I found it a little flat last time.
Mint and dill.
- 2 cucumbers (the small kind, Persian, I believe)
- 2 small courgettes (make sure it's tasty enough to eat raw, otherwise use more cucumbers)
- 1 tsp salt
>> Grate, mix with salt and let drain.
- 400-500g thick yogurt
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- leaves from two small bunches of mint, minced (~40g)
- leaves from one small bunch of dill, minced (~20g)
- salt and pepper to taste
>> Mix with the salted cucumbers. Season to taste. Add a bit of vinegar if it's not tart enough.
>> Let it sit for at least an hour.

They do look intriguing ... did you prepare them yourself ?
No. They are like pita breads, but a tad thinner and much larger. Most commonly used for shawarma around here.

That looks lovely. Just looked up the recipe. Wondering how it would adapt to muffins for Sunday morning (being the designated muffin-maker for Sunday school class...).
Thanks. I forgot that I ever posted the recipe. I see no reason for it not to work. Just be careful not to overbake, it will be ready faster.

Re: the kugel. Does anyone know if there's such a critter as gluten-free egg noodles? I would love to try a kugel, but alas....celiac disease sucks.
ETA: Amazon shows some. But they're sure pricy!
Use your favorite gluten free eggless noodles. Egg noodles are better, but not crucial.

really looks delicious.
are all the layers apples ,
or are their noodles making up some of the layers ?
The noodles give it most of the bulk. I cut the apples into noodle wide pices,so that they get tangled along them.

- 400g wide pasta/noodles, best to use one made with eggs
- 4 baking apples (600g-700g) (I use Gala, as I find Granny Smith to be a bit too tart here). Peeled and cut into strips
- 80g-100g raisins, or chopped dried apricots
- 70g (1/3 cup) sweet wine (or whatever not-tart wine you have on hand)
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- 70g-80g toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- 90g dark brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2/3 teaspoon salt
- 5 eggs
- In a large bowl, soak raisins in wine.
- Add butter (unmelted), walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Cook the noodles until al-dente.
- Drain well and mix the hot noodles in the bowl until coated with the butter and sugar.
- Let chill a little (so that the eggs won't cook), then add the eggs and apples. Mix well.
- Pour into a spring-form pan, or a casserole pan.
- Gently flatten making sure to push down any nuts you see, to prevent them from charring.
- Bake in a 190C hot oven, for 30 minutes or so.
- Remove from the oven, brush the top with butter (1-2 teaspoons). Optionally sprinkle some sugar on top for added crunch.
- Bake for 25-30 additional minutes, until the top is well browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately, or bake to re-crisp just before serving.
- Reheats well in an oven (or in a MW, but you'll lose the crispness).
I make it every year for nearly 10 years.

Still had some apples to use, so I made an apple kugel. Plenty of walnuts, raisins, sweet wine, cinnamon.
Top is buttered and baked until crisp. It makes for the best part.
