My county library system is one of the busiest in the country and the put on all sorts of cool classes. This month I took one about growing microgreens and last month I took classes on making foccacia and bolani (stuffed Afghan flatbread). I love my library and yes, it is that cool.

AMAZING!!! OH those look delicious, I hope they tasted as good as they looked! What a cool library, I love hearing about libraries being places of education :D

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited The Archewell Foundation’s San Antonio Welcome Project, which supports the creation of programming for women who have recently resettled from Afghanistan. Together with The Archewell Foundation’s partner, Culturingua, this sector of The Welcome Project gathers regularly to further develop their sewing skills and build community.

"The Duke and Duchess joined the women as they worked on their projects and learned about the newfound joy and creativity they have fostered with one another.

"The day concluded with a homecooked meal, where The Duchess joined in making bolani, a traditional Afghan flat bread."

[ID: 5 gifs of making bolani (Afghan stuffed flatbread) with green herby chutney.

1: A person mixes flour and water into a dough in a large flat bowl using a spoon. 2: She uses a fork to mash boiled potatoes with lots of green herbs and spices in another large bowl. 3: A thinly rolled-out circle of dough sits on a floured surface, and someone gently flips it between her two hands to lift it from the table. 4: The bolanis have been filled and folded into half-moon shapes in a large pan, and she brushes oil on top of them as they cook. 5: She scoops a dollop of green parsley chutney on top of a triangle-shaped piece of cooked bolani. The thin dough is lightly browned in spots, lightly showing the herby filling through it. End ID]

This was so good and the curry was so rich. Not like an Indian curry and had a distinct Afghan flavor. The eggs and curry sauce were complimentary and worked well together. You should eat it with Afghan bread, Bolani.

AFGHAN ASHAK OR AUSHAK AFGHAN DUMPLINGS

By Mirriam Seddiq

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups Lentils (rinsed) (yellow recommended)

2 –3 Large Leeks

For Lentil Sauce Base

1 Large Onion

2 Cloves Garlic

2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste

1 1/2 Teaspoons of Salt

1/2 Teaspoon turmeric

1 Teaspoon cumin

1 Teaspoon chili powder

1 Teaspoon ground coriander

3–4 fresh tomatoes

2 Cups of water

Spices for Leek Stuffing

1 Teaspoon ground cumin

1 Teaspoon of ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon of turmeric

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

a few cracks of black pepper

Chili flakes

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Rinse your lentils.

2. Chop your leeks finely or use a food processor that can slice them thin. Either before or after, wash them and drain them thoroughly. Leeks retain a lot of dirt and sand.

3. This will give you many more leeks than you need. I always take a bag and freeze the rest of them. You can save them for ashak in the future, or use them to make my bolani recipe.

4. Boil lentils on medium and simmer for about 10 minutes covered.

5. Begin on your sauce base for lentils. Chop onion and place in oil.

6. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. You do not want a raw tomato paste taste. Then add 2 cloves of garlic. Add your fresh tomatoes. Cook on medium until lentils done.

7. After tomatoes get soft and lentil base gets cooked, add about 2 Cups of water. You will use the water to loosen up the sauce. Let the water incorporate into the sauce mixture.

8. Take cut leeks and add all of the spices to them and mix thoroughly.

9. Now take your wontons and assemble your dumplings. The easiest format is to take them and make a “half-moon” and wet the edges after you fill then, fold over, and pinch edges with a fork.

10. Boil dumplings for 3-4 minutes.

11. Plate your dish with my yogurt sauce base. Cover the yogurt with your dumplings and then cover the dumplings with the lentil mixture. Cover with some green for appearance.

Afghan Awasana Kabob, 37012 Towers Way, Fremont, CA 94536

Call ahead because the food takes a long time. I ordered bolani and it took 40 minutes. Crazy. They had a few takeout orders but didn’t seem that busy. The food is made from scratch. They even make their own Afghan style bread (thin flatbread). The menu includes several kinds of bolani, kabobs, sabzi, mantoo (dumplings), rice, desserts, and beverages.

Squash Bolani ($14.99): They’re known for their squash Bolani and for good reason. I don’t know how they get the flatbread (like a super thin pancake) so thin and still fill it with pureed butternut squash and onions. The flatbread is golden and crispy yet chewy. They cook it on a big griddle and top it with weights. It’s a marvelous creation. Even better, they made the filling spicy for me and served it with plain yogurt and a zesty cilantro sauce. One order includes a dozen pieces. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Service was very kind. I was welcomed and he even gave me a bread for free since it was my first visit. I gave the bread to my father. The restaurant is small and a bit cramped but warm and welcoming. It’s like going to someone’s kitchen. Smells amazing there too.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

National Empanada Day! * The Spanish word for bread is “pan”.  “Empanar” is a verb form that means “to bread”.  Emapanada is the past-participle, “breaded”. * Empanadas originated in northwest Spain, in a region known as Galicia. Originally made with bread dough, but now they are made with pastries as well. * The bolani is an Afghan variant of the empanada. Bolanis are flatbreads stuffed with vegetables such as spinach or potato. They are served in the evenings during the Muslim feast of Ramadan as well as at other times. * Bolivian empanadas are made with beef, pork, or chicken, and usually contain potatoes, peas and carrots, as well as a hard-boiled egg, an olive, or raisins. They are called salteñas and are moon-shaped pouches of dough customarily seamed along the top of the pastry. * Empanadas are known as panada or pastel in Indonesia. The panada, has thick crust made of fried bread, giving it bread texture and is filled with spicy tuna and chili peppers. The pastel has thin crust and a fillings typically made of finely diced potatoes, carrot, green onions, chicken, garlic, and glass noodles. #NationalEmpanadaDay #Empanada #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #DisposableSolutions #NonFoodSolutions #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZ-BXClZt2/?igshid=9xp2pbh2q036
