  • “This is the same recipe as in the Complete Middle East Cookbook By Tess Mallos although she also says you can garnish with pomegranate seeds too.”

  • “I made this recipe and subbed coconut for the ground almonds. I added vanilla. I thought it needed to be a little bit thicker, but it was still good.I doubled this recipe as you can see in the picture. Thanks for the recipe.”
