[EN] Msemmen / المسمن – CookingWithAlia – Episode 696

Today we are preparing a delicious Moroccan breakfast bread called Msemmen. RECIPE: https://goo.gl/rvLWVE INGREDIENTS: Dough Ingredients: 360 grams all purpose white flour (3 cups) 150 grams fino semolina (extra fine semolina, you can replace it by fine semolina) (1 cup) 1 teaspoon salt 300 ml water Shaping Ingredients: 50 grams butter, melted (1.8 oz.) 50 ml vegetable oil 50 grams fino semolina (extra fine semolina, you can replace it by fine semolina) (1.8 oz.) DIRECTIONS: Step 1: Prepare the dough 1- In a large plate, or in a Gasaa which is a Moroccan clay plate, place the fino semolina, white flour, and salt. Mix all the ingredients together. 2- Add lukewarm water little by little and continue mixing until you form a dough ball; it should not be too moist and it should definitely not be sticky. If you put too much water, just add a little flour to balance it. 3- Knead the dough with your fists and palms for around 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 4- Brush the dough with a little bit of vegetable oil, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rest for 20 minutes. 5- Once the dough is ready, brush it again with a little bit of vegetable oil. Grasp a portion of the dough, and using your thumb and index fingers, cut small dough balls that are the size of a tennis ball. From time to time, put vegetable oil on your hands to keep them well oiled while cutting the dough. 6- Place the dough balls in a plate, lightly brush them with vegetable oil, and cover them with a clean cloth. Let them rest for 15 minutes. Step 2: Shape the dough 7- After 15 minutes, the dough balls are ready to be shaped into squares, which is the traditional shape of Msmmen. 8- Brush your work surface with vegetable oil. Take a dough ball and flatten it with the palm of your hand. Using your fingers, gently push the edges of the dough to expand it into a very thin disk of dough – the dough is almost transparent at this point and you can somewhat see your work surface through it. 9- Add about 1 teaspoon of melted butter on the dough and spread it evenly with your hands. 10- Sprinkle a little bit of fino flour all over the dough. Fold the upper edge towards the center and add a bit of melted butter on top. Now fold the lower edge of the dough towards the center on top of the other edge, to create a long rectangle of dough. Add a bit of melted butter on top of it. 11- Sprinkle with semolina again, then fold the right and left edges of the dough towards the center, on top of each other, to form a square. 12- Place the dough squares on a plate, cover them, and let them rest for 15 minutes. Step 3: Cook the Msmmen 13- When the dough is ready, brush your work station with vegetable oil, take one dough square and flatten it with your fingers and the palm of your hand, until you get a thin square that is around 3 times larger. Spread a bit of melted butter on it. 14- Heat your pan on high heat and once ready drizzle some vegetable oil on it. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the Msmmen on both sides for a few minutes each, turning over several times until each side has a golden brown color and the center of the Msmmen is cooked. The Msmmen may puff up while cooking, but will immediately become flat if you push it down with your hand. The cooked Msmmen is chewy but should not taste raw. Serve the Msmmen immediately, with honey, cheese, or any other toppings of your choice. Roll and enjoy!

If you ask about the most festive Moroccan dish, Pastilla will be the answer with no doubt. It can be either sweet or savory and it's served during celebrations and Eid! Today, in collaboration with @La Maison Arabe, we are sharing with you the sweet version of Pastilla: Chicken and Almond Pastilla. It's made of layers of chicken, eggs, and almonds, all flavored with cinnamon and orange blossom water! Check the video and let me know what you think ;) RECIPE: https://goo.gl/jx4Wa8 INGREDIENTS: Chicken Filling: 1/2 chicken (around 750 grams / 1.7 pound) 1 onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt, to taste 1 teaspoon pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon fresh finely chopped parsley 1 tablespoon fresh finely chopped cilantro Water A pinch of saffron threads 1/2 teaspoon arabic gum pebbles 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/2 tablespoon white granulated sugar Eggs: 4 eggs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon orange blossom water Almonds Filling: 250 grams almonds, blanched and fried (0.5 pounds) 1 tablespoon powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon orange blossom water Shaping: 500 grams (1 pound) Warka, large circular size (you can replace it with phyllo dough) 1 egg Vegetable oil Decoration: Powdered sugar Ground cinnamon Almonds DIRECTIONS: Step 1: Cooking the Chicken 1- In a large pot, place the finely chopped onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, finely chopped parsley, and finely chopped cilantro. Mix all the ingredients together. 2- Add the chicken pieces then add water until chicken pieces are half covered. Stir the sauce and cover the pot. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on medium-high heat. 3- Add saffron threads, pebbles of Arabic gum, and butter. 4- Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes. 5- Add the sugar and continue cooking the chicken on medium-high heat until done and the sauce thickens. From time to time, check on the chicken, turn it over, and add hot water if necessary for the chicken not to stick to the pot and burn. Note that there should never be more than 2 cups of sauce in the pot. 6- Once done, remove the chicken from the sauce. Place it in a plate and reserve. 7- Keep the sauce in the pot, uncover, and cook it for a few minutes on high heat to reduce it until it becomes thick. 8- Add 2 tablespoons of this sauce to the chicken and leave the rest in the pot. 9- Once the chicken cools down, remove the chicken meat from the bones. Discard the bones. 10- Shred the chicken meat and mix it with the thick sauce that you have reserved with the chicken. Step 2: Cooking the Eggs 11- Break the eggs and add them to the sauce in the pot. Stir until well mixed. 12- Add ground cinnamon and orange blossom water. 13- Cook the eggs in the sauce on medium heat for around 5 minutes until they are cooked. 14- Remove the pot from the heat and reserve. Step 3: Preparing the Almond Mixture 15- In a food processor, place the fried almonds and mix into a chunky mixture. 16- Place the almond mix in a plate and add powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, orange blossom water, and melted butter. 17- Mix all the ingredients together. Step 4: Assembling the Bastilla 18- Using scissors, cut the uneven edges of the warka sheets. 19- In a plate of 22 cm / 8.6 inches diameter, spread a little bit of vegetable oil. 20- Place two warka sheets in the plate and place a little bit of the egg mixture in the center. 21- Top the egg mixture with the chicken mixture and finally, top with the almond mixture. 22- Bring the sides of the warka sheets towards the center over the filling to create a circular shape. Use egg yolk to glue the warka folds in the center. 23- Place a small warka sheet round in the center to cover the exposed filling. 24- Cover the entire surface with a large warka sheet circle and tuck the edges in the bottom. Step 5: Cooking the Bastilla 25- Bake the bastilla in a preheated oven at 190°C / 380°F for 30 to 40 minutes until the pastilla get a beautiful golden brown color. 26- Remove from the oven, decorate with powder sugar, ground cinnamon, and fried blanched almonds.
