Eid Dinner

As Salamu Alaikom dearest ummah,

Insha'Allah you all had a wonderful 16Th November Eid dinner, Eid Mubarak for those I didn't personally tell in Facebook or otherwise. May Allah grant you all a fresh slate and many blessings for this year to come. Ameen! Now down to the nitty gritty. I kept the meal fairly simple and somewhat modest.

As you can see it pretty much consisted of 2 meats and a starch. Looks yummy doesn't it?

The chicken was done tikka style in a terracotta clay baking pot (every kitchen should have one of these, it's best for slow cooking any meats and roasts and if you look carefully in the upper right hand of the photo above, you will see the corner of it :) it's got ridges in the bottom so the meat doesn't touch the bottom directly and cooks evenly.)

The pasta, aah who doesn't like pasta tossed with veggies (broccoli,cauliflower, and carrots-- sliced black olives too), and Parmesan and Romano cheeses with garlic, salt and an aromatic olive oil? MmMmMm

The London broil, a wonderful piece of meat, coated in spices and cooked in the oven slowly and turned. It melted in the mouths of those who dared.

A completed plate, ready for the taking, of course its not truly done up without pita topped with hummus. HAHAHA how could I forget one of my favs?

And there you have it folks, a modest Eid dinner cooked in Florida by a proud Muslim American. Believe it or not, the different blend of such flavors pleased all pallets.

May Allah grant you all every need, lift any stife that weighs on you and give you all many blessings. Ameen!
