Eloss Medinah (Fried Taro Root)

Here's an easy recipe for a delicious vegetarian dish called Eloss Madinah which is Arabic for "potato of the city." This dish has a few other Arabic names, but to keep it simple we will just call it Fried Taro Root! Taro root is similar to potatoes, in taste and in texture, and can be found in any produce section. If you love the flavor of garlic and lemon juice, you will love this dish! :) 

Ingredients:
  • Taro root - 5-6  
  • Garlic - 5 medium sized cloves, minced
  • Lemon - Juice of 2 lemons (more or less depending on your preference, we like a lemony taste)
  • Olive oil - 1/4 cup
  • Salt

Lebanese desserts truly are the best! Knafeh is a delicious combination of filo dough, ricotta cheese, and the famous atyr (or sugar water). You will taste so much flavor with just one bite of this dish. This is a great dessert for parties and celebrations and like most Lebanese desserts, will require a sweet tooth! :)

Ingredients:
For filo dough:
  • ​Crisco - 1 cup, melted 
  • Shredded filo dough - 2 16. oz packages 
  • Ricotta cheese - 1 container or 32 oz.
For Atyr (sugar water):
  • 2 teaspoons of rose water
  • 4 cups of sugar 
  • 2 cups of water
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
