(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/kexrqumy/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121Ramadan and the lead up to it have been the busiest time for us. We posted 10 recipes in June and this is the 9th recipe in July. That is four months’ worth of recipes based on the average number of recipes we post per month. Yet, we still believe we could have done more. We have so many recipes we would like to share with you, foods we feel guilty enjoying without sharing their recipes.
Maamoul and Eid are inseparable and, for many, Eid is not complete without it. For Christians in the Middle East, maamoul is a pastry that is associated with Easter. Our target was to post this recipe before Eid but we failed to do that. The video was ready but the rest of post was interrupted by family time and by the need to reset our sleep schedule that has been out of whack during the last few nights of Ramadan. Add to that the laziness that sets in when you know you already missed your deadline.
As we explained before in a previous post (Linzer Cookies), it is customary for us to bring cookies to our Eid gatherings. We shared the maamoul with family and friends and every feedback was that the pastries were just perfect.
Maamoul are traditionally made from semolina and are filled with dates or nuts, usually pistachios or walnuts. There is a special mold for each of those fillings which helps identify the type of maamoul. Walnut maamoul are semi-spherical and look like a decorated, pointed dome. Date maamoul are cylindrical in shape while pistachio maamoul look like an oval dome. There is nothing that prevents you from using any shape you prefer but you will confuse your guests if you do not follow that convention.
Having a mold is not a must to make these crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth pastries. You can shape the maamoul into smooth balls using the palms of your hands. Any imperfections will be covered when dusted with icing sugar after baking. You can also decorate the balls using a fork or special tweezers known as naggash.

This dish is popular in the Arabian Peninsula as well as Somalia. It is considered a high energy dish that is served for breakfast or during colder days. In Somalia, restaurants also serve this dish for lunch and dinner. There are different ways of preparing this dish, each region having its unique way. The common denominator is bananas, and if it not present, the dish is not considered masoub.
Somalis call it feetamuus, which roughly translates as a mash with bananas. In the Somali version, the ingredients are: bananas (muus), Somali Corn Flatbread (muufo Soomaali or garmash), broth (maraq), untoasted sesame oil (saliid macsaro). Those are mashed together and it is then served with a steak (bisteeki) on top.
When preparing the royal masoub, we added fresh dates to the mix. We combined two dishes: feetatimir (a mash with dates) and feetamuus. In the Arabian Peninsula, feetatimir is known as areeka.

Feetamuus waxaa aad looga yaqaan Gacanka Carbeed iyo Soomaaliya. Waxaa lagu tiriyaa cuno quwad gelisa jirka waxaana la cunaa subaxdii quraac ahaan ama maalmaha qabowga jiro. Soomaaliya gudaheeda, maqaayadaha way gadaan feetamuuska xilliyada qadada iyo cashada. Siyaabo kala duwan ayaa loo sameeyaa feetamuuska, waddan walibana si gaar ah ayaa looga sameeyaa. Shayga keliya ay wadaagaan waa muuska, hadii uusan ku jirinna saxankaasi looma aqoonsana feetamuus.
Carabta waxay feetamuuska ugu yeeraan macsuub, kaasoo u fasirma wax la shiiday. Nooca ay Soomaalida cunaan, waxaa laga sameeyaa: muus, muufo tinaar, maraq, saliid macsaro. Intaas ayaa la isku cajiimaa oo la isku qasaa waxaana korka laga saaraa bisteeki.
Marka aan diyaarinay feetamuus heersare ah, waxaan ku darnay timir. Waxaan jeclaysannay inaan isku darno laba saxan: feetatimir iyo feetamuus. Gacanka Carbeed feetatimir waxaa looga yaqaan areeka.
Waxaa af-Somaali u tarjumay: Abdifataah Faynuus

Ce plat est populaire dans la Péninsule Arabique ainsi qu’en Somalie. C’est un plat énergétique que l’on sert au petit déjeuner ou quand il fait froid. En Somalie, les restaurants servent ce plat au déjeuner et au dîner. Il existe plusieurs façons de préparer ce plat, chaque région à sa propre recette. L’ingrédient commun est toujours la banane, et si il n’est pas présent, le plat n’est pas considéré du masoub.
Les Somalis l’appellent feetamuus, que l’on peut traduire par purée à la banane. Dans la version Somali, les ingrédients sont: des bananes (muus), du pain de maïs Somali (muufo Soomaali ou garmash), du bouillon (maraq), de l’huile de sésame non grillé (saliid macsaro). Ces ingrédients sont écrasés ensemble puis servis avec un steak (bisteeki) posé dessus.
Pour préparer le masoub royal, nous avons ajouté des dattes fraîches à la purée. Nous avons combiné deux recettes: feetatimir (une purée aux dattes) et feetamuus. Dans la Péninsule Arabique, feetatimir est connu sous le nom de areeka.
