• If you have whole spices and the time, dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds in a frying pan for several minutes, let them cool and grind as fine as possible Mix everything together and put in a small jar Shoarma idea for 4: approx 1lb pork, lamb or chicken, cut meat in strips, add 1 tablespoon oil and lemon juice, 1 or 2 teaspoons of the spice mix, add salt to taste, mix and leave for a few hours or overnight.
• If you like add some chopped onion, crushed garlic, chopped chili pepper and a chopped sweet pepper to the meat mix.

SHOARMA / KEBAB SOUP

Steps:

• Put the lentils in a bowl and pour water over to completely cover the lentils. Leave be for about 4-5 hours.
• Add the soaked lentils to a bowl, add cubed chicken breast, sauces and spices. Mix well, add 3 liters of water and simmer.
• Cut up the bell peppers into little pieces (inch by inch max) and roast them or fry on a grill pan until slightly burnt and very soft.
• Cube a tomato. Put it into the pan you fried your peppers in and cook until the skin comes off easily. Put tomato into a sieve, hold over the lentil pot and grind the tomatoes until all you have left in the sieve is the skin.
• Blend the soup well and *then* add the bell peppers.
• Leave overnight and serve the next day with toasted bread.

"CREAMY" CANTALOUPE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel the cantaloupe and cut it in to cubes.
• Place the cantaloupe, orange juice, and mint leaves in the food processor and liquify.
• Add the honey and the yogurt, whirl until the mixture is very smooth.
• Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving. Garnish with sprigs of mint.

GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the sour cream with the mayonnaise. Add some of the water if you want a thinner sauce.
• Add the dried herbs and garlic powder to taste (I prefer LOTS of garlic).
• Let it sit in the fridge for a little while, so the dried herbs can soak up the liquids.
• Add more water if needed.

SPICY ASIAN SOUP

Steps:

• Begin slicing onion and garlic. Put sesame oil in medium sized soup pot and heat at medium-low. Add onion when oil begins to simmer. After translucent, add garlic.
• Add sliced shiitake mushrooms. Add small amount of salt to help them sweat.
• After mushrooms begin to soften, add carrot and bell pepper. Saute until all vegetables are soft. Add a bit more oil, and then add tofu. Saute until slightly golden. Add a dash of rice vinegar/black vinegar and soy sauce to deglaze pot and loosen vegetables and tofu.
• Add 8 cups water. Add approximately 2 teaspoons of chicken base. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of spicy chili sauce.
• Bring to boil and add udon noodles and chopped cabbage. Boil as directed ( approximately 8 minutes). Reduce to simmer and then season to your taste. Remember that soy sauce will make it salty, so go slow. Add the spice as hot as you like. Top with chopped green onions.
