| + | ====== Sharqia - Nile Delta cuisine ====== | ||
| + | ==== Feteer Meshaltet with Old Mish (فطير مشلتت بالمش القديم) ==== | ||
| + | Layered rural pastry served with aged mish cheese whose pungent aroma is legendary. In Sharqia villages, the quality of mish is a point of family pride, sometimes aged for years in clay jars. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Bata’ Meshwi (بط مشوي) ==== | ||
| + | Whole village duck, raised on canal water and grains, roasted slowly and served with rice. Duck farming is especially widespread in Sharqia’s watery farmlands, making this a celebratory but common rural dish. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Hamam Mahshi Freekeh (حمام محشي فريك) ==== | ||
| + | Pigeons stuffed with green cracked wheat (freekeh) instead of rice. Freekeh’s smoky flavor pairs with the rich pigeon meat, reflecting the Delta’s wheat agriculture. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Molokhia bil Bat (ملوخية بالبط) ==== | ||
| + | Molokhia cooked in duck broth rather than chicken or rabbit. The fatty, flavorful stock gives the soup a depth typical of Sharqia farm kitchens. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Kaware’ bil Khal (كوارع بالخل) ==== | ||
| + | Slow-cooked cow trotters finished with a sharp vinegar-garlic sauce. In Sharqia, this dish is considered strengthening winter food for farmers working in cold fields. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Mahshi Warak Kromb (محشي ورق كرنب) ==== | ||
| + | Cabbage leaves stuffed with herbed rice. Sharqia’s cool winters make cabbage more common here than in Upper Egypt, turning this into a seasonal staple. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Mish and Green Onion Plate (المش والبصل الأخضر) ==== | ||
| + | A simple farmer’s meal: aged mish cheese eaten with fresh green onions and baladi bread during breaks from field work. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Shorbat Ads bil Hamam (شوربة عدس بالحمام) ==== | ||
| + | Lentil soup enriched with pigeon broth or small pieces of pigeon meat, giving a luxurious twist to an otherwise humble staple. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Freekeh bil Laban (فريك باللبن) ==== | ||
| + | Cooked freekeh mixed with fresh buffalo yogurt or milk. This dish reflects the close relationship between grain farming and dairy production in the Delta. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Samn Baladi and Honey Breakfast (سمن بلدي بالعسل) ==== | ||
| + | Village bread dipped into homemade clarified butter and local honey. A high-energy breakfast for agricultural laborers. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Mahshi Bathenjan Abyad (محشي باذنجان أبيض) ==== | ||
| + | Small white eggplants, grown in Delta soil, stuffed with rice and herbs. Their milder flavor distinguishes them from the purple varieties used elsewhere. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Fasoulia Khadra bil Lahma (فاصوليا خضراء باللحمة) ==== | ||
| + | Green beans stewed with beef and tomatoes. The dish relies on freshly picked beans from local fields rather than dried legumes. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Roz Me’ammar bil Laban Gamousi (رز معمر) ==== | ||
| + | Rice baked slowly in buffalo milk and cream until the top caramelizes. In Sharqia, the richness of buffalo dairy makes this version especially dense and custardy. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Fesikh Sharqawi (فسيخ شرقاوي) ==== | ||
| + | Salt-cured fermented mullet prepared in homes before Sham El-Nessim. Sharqia families are reputed for particularly strong, well-aged fesikh. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Qors ‘Aqdi (قرص عقدي) ==== | ||
| + | Rustic wheat disks baked in clay ovens and often flavored with anise or fenugreek. These travel well and are carried by farmers into the fields. [([[https:// | ||
