Kunafa.
Today I ate the best one so far. With this divine dessert, my Egyptian friend Samah and I topped off a simply perfect Thursday, when we finally managed to meet again.
Do you know this famous sweet creation of the Arabian Peninsula?
They prepare it in different ways, depending on the region. In some places it is made from semolina flour (wheat flour), in other places from special noodles out of filo pastry, and there is also a version which is a combination of both. I like it best with a soft creamy core and a sprinkle of pistachios. Today we got a surprise at a Turkish restaurant – we got one scoop of ice cream on top, which provided a heavenly combination with the warm kunafa.
