The revolution sweeping the eastern world is quite fantastic to a sleepy revolutionary cook. I once cared greatly for such things--my government's involvement in propping up oil despots, kings and what not all in the name of money. So, it is nice for the people to rise up and kick the thugs out of their kitchens.
For anyone who hasn't been paying attention--and I admit, a lot has happened, here is a handy timeline: Arab Spring.
Mediterranean food uses an incredible amount of lemon juice. My wife got a canker sore. Enjoy!
What you Need:
6 meduim potatoes
1/2 C parsley, chopped
1/2 C green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 lemon juice
1/4 C oil olive
Lebanese Potato Salad
Boil potatoes with skins on. Cool. Peel and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in salad bowl.
then . . .
Add parsley and onions, stir.
Add remaining ingredients, toss.
Cover and refrigerate.
* I love me some potato salad, so it was nice to find a foreign variation. The olive oil is what makes this so good. It's really called Salatat Batata.
Total time: 30 minutes plus cooling
Drink: Lemonade with rose water
