Summer Salad Rolls





Julienne Vegetables
Sometimes, I only want to eat a cold meal on a hot summer day. Salads are a great option but I always want something hearty to eat with it. Now hearty for some could mean meat or potatoes, but in this recipe hearty means rice paper rolls. I bought a pack from an Asian market. I had so much fun making them. I wish I had more time to make a dipping sauce with it, hopefully next time.
Ingredients:
1 Carrot
1 Lettuce Head
Stuffing the Rice Paper
1 Mango
2 Green onion bulb
Rice Paper rolls.

Serving: 6 rolls

Julienne the mango and green onions and cut the lettuce very thin. Grate the carrots to save time and effort. Warm up a little bit of water in a large pot so the rice paper can easily get soaked without folding on itself. Once the water is warm to the touch turn off the stove, soak a rice paper for fifteen second and place it on a plate. Stack all the vegetables on one side of the paper and start to roll while tucking the stuffing. After one fold tuck in the corners and finish the last fold. The tighter you tuck in the better vegetable hold up to dipping sauces. They came out fresh and hearty without any meat :), I made some shrimp and veggie ones for my one and only. ;)

Seafood near Ajman Beach

Ajman city  Raw fresh Seafood Buffet The food was delicious and I love the appetizers that come on the side, hummus, Baba Ganoush, Pickled vegetables, arugala and whole tomatoes. Just fresh and healthy start to a delicious meal. I wanted to have fresh seafood and my brother suggested this beautiful small place right across from the beach, in Ajman city. We chose fresh seafood pieces from a buffet style table. The drive there was beautiful and i was amazed by the architecture of this city that reflected the persian style and boats added a mystical charm. I recommend to give this city a try whenever you visit UAE. Sides that are usual in any arabic restaurant Garlic chile mussels, prawns and calamari Grilled garlic lemon fish Sunset at the beach So close :) View from Seafood

I was in third grade, and we were sitiing in peshawer AC flats and were having lunch in our long two doorway dining room. The table cloth was striped yellow, blue and white. My mom served us spinach and like any other kid i started playing with a little left over. I would squeeze it in my hand and drink the broth that would come out. I did not have spinach for 6 years after that incident . Then one day, my mom cooked Palak chicken for a party and i had some with white rice and some plain yougurt. I re-discovered the yummiest vegetable known to me! I cooked today thinking how easy it is nowadays to cook palak. FrozenPackets of vegetables make our lives so easy. I started with half a cup sliced red onion with 2 table spoons of oil in a pan.
