STARTERS

So, my good friend gave me an idea today to start a blog and not necessarily because I have some crazy passion and obsession with something, but simply because I enjoy it and it makes me happy. FOOD. I love everything about food, the smell, the texture, the look of it, the colors!
How did the discussion about blogs come up? Today is Sunday in Montreal, which is usually a very dull and quiet day for most of us. I decided to fast today since its considered to be the white days after the month of Ramadan ! Having said that, me and my beautiful friend were discussing the meal she was eating. When a person is fasting , anything, absolutely any kind of food that is mentioned to them becomes a necessity to have for iftar. Mine today, pretty random but delicious, a combination of garlic and olive oil. It can be cooked, raw, with bread or with pasta but that combination is absolutely delicious. Yesterday I made myself an Arabic dish ( which my mom perfects) called Atritma. It is a mix of onions, garlic, aubergine, green peppers, mince meat , tomato puree, and tomatoes. They work together so perfectly . It can be eaten with rice, bread or even with a fork , cold or hot. To me, taste delicious either way. Today, I have some left overs from yesterday's atritma, so I am thinking of recycling it and mixing it with pasta, maybe penne and making a penne con aubergine and tomatoes. To my imagination, it should work lovely together. I will let you know.
