November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

This is a low carb no-bake dish.  I'll mention the nutritional break-up later.  It's light and enjoyable, tastes much like some those exquisite dishes you would expect in a pricey Lebanese or Persian restaurant.  This very unique salad is a main dish.  It can be accompanied with soup, boiled potatoes and bread sticks.  My family loves the traditional home-made lentil soup with it.  However, you can also prepare your favourite canned soup or Knorr's soups that come in cartons or packets.

Here are the ingredients and preparation method.

Items needed

One quarter cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoonful lemon juice
Salt
Ground pepper
1 tablespoonful oil
1 and a half cups frozen green peas
1 cup long grain rice (preferably Basmati rice)
1 pound (or little more) boneless, skinless chicken breasts - Halal
6 spring onions chopped, including green tops
1 teaspoon corriander paste
2 teaspoon garlic & ginger paste
Any dressing of your choice

Preparation

In a small frying pan, toast the nuts over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, salt, pepper and add oil slowly.  Keep whisking for a little while.

Boil the frozen peas in a pot of salted water for about 5 minutes till just barely tender.  Drain and keep aside in a large bowl. 

Then, boil the rice in a pot until tender, about 15 minutes.  Drain and put it back in the same pot.  Cover and keep warm.

Next step, put the chicken pieces in a cooking pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fill this pot with 1/4 inch of water and simmer over low heat, turning the chicken a few times till cooked through.  It will take at least 30 minutes to get fully cooked.  Maybe a bit longer.  When cooked, remove from cooker and cool.  Then cut into approximately 1/2 inch chunks.

Finally, into the large bowl where you've kept the boiled green peas, add the roasted nuts, boiled rice, chicken chunks, raisins, chopped green onions, corriander paste, whisked lemon juice mixture and dressing of your choice.  Mix very gently with a wooden spoon.  Makes 4 servings.

Do not use too much dressing for that would make the salad rich and high in calories.  Try to keep it on the drier side.

P.S. .. regarding the use of 1 tablespoon oil, it can be the usual corn or canola oil.  Some prefer olive oil.  I like to use my regualar corn oil.
