Algerian Kefta (Meatballs)
This simple meatball dish is delicious, rich, and fresh. My Algerian husband taught me it as it's one of his favorites from home. The tomato sauce can be used for anything, and the flavors can be adjusted. I like a lot of garlic and pepper. I have found halal hamburger meat to be much leaner and lighter than regular. You can find it at international food stores and halal butcher shops in bigger cities. Serve this dish with a French baguette.
Rhubarb Butter Crunch
This recipe was passed down through my mother-in-law's family and it is the best rhubarb butter crunch ever! Serve with either ice cream or whipped cream. I have left the directions as she gave me, as it adds a touch of character to the recipe.
Ground Beef Fried Rice
This ground beef fried rice is great with red wine, candlelight, and jazz music, or so says my father's second wife who apparently "captured" my father with this recipe. Who knows? But it is very delicious! You can add mushrooms or use different veggies, but start here first.
