TAMER HINDI (TAMARIND DRINK)

Steps:

• Separate the tamarind mass into chunks and place in a bowl. Cover with the boiling water and set aside for a few hours until the pulp dissolves in the water.
• Rub the tamarind pulp and seeds with your fingers, and add 3 cups (700 ml) cold water.
• Place the mixture in a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl and press on the tamarind to extract all the juice.
• Transfer the pulp residue to a small bowl and add 2 cups (480 ml) cold water, rubbing the mixture with your fingers. Strain into the large bowl used above.
• Repeat the procedure a third time with 1 cup (240 ml) water.
• Add the sugar to the tamarind juice in the large bowl and stir to dissolve.
• Refrigerate and serve very cold with ice and water to dilute as desired (about ¼ cup or 60 ml water per 240 ml cup of juice).

ADAS BIL HAMOD (LEBANESE LENTIL LEMON SOUP)

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot over high heat. When oil is very hot, add onions and stir until onions begin to turn dark brown and caramelize, about 10 minutes. Put the lentils, garlic, frozen spinach, and mint into the pot. Pour in enough water so that it is about 2 inches deeper than the lentil mixture. Stir well to loosen browned bits of onion on the bottom of the pot.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. If soup gets too thick, add a little more water. Salt to taste. Lower heat and stir in lemon juice.
