A quick and simple Middle Eastern/Mediterranean hit. I've seen both little Jewish grandmothers in Jerusalem make these cookies and Bedouin women living in the middle of the desert. A great simple recipe that isn't too sweet, is very versatile and fast. Enjoy.

I'm going to show you on how to make a crispy breaded steak without actually breading a steak the traditional way, which I promise, only sounds impossible. This is a great way to make a cheaper, tougher cut of meat taste like a more expensive cut. Serve over a simple salad with a lemon wedge.
