Khosfaf for Foodie Friday
Today is Pecan Day
One of the most delicious nuts ever is the pecan. Even if it is a walnut look alike, the taste is completely different and much more sophisticated and tantalizing. I will share a simple recipe for warm nights, hot days and days when wanting to lose weight gets in the way of tasting food.
This concoction is a Middle Eastern recipe made in Old Testament days. Variations, changes and innovations are allowed. You can use whatever you want in this recipe but will not help as much with weight loss as the original recipe does.
Serves 2 people
No cooking required.
- 1 green tart apple cut up to bite size
- 1/2 cup pecan or walnuts or sliced almonds or all together
- 1/4 cup raisins or diced dates or diced dried peaches, dried figs or sultanas

- 2 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup

Bel Hanna Wel Sheffa!
Literally means: With joy and health!
It is an exhortation and a prayer for happiness and a healthy life directly from the food.
