I'll try it, I have much time, and when I get bored or Im in a bad mood, I usually cook, because at least at that time it doesn't feel that, "why Im wasting my time in cooking? coz then I had nothing to do then"

A question for Chef Sister Harb

Your recipe looks delicious, but what is the "syrup" you refer to when you are ready to bake the rolls?

Corn syrup? Maple syrup? Cough syrup? :confused: LOL!

Thank you!

P.S. I'm in the US, but can order anything online.

Thank you!

We use here syrup that is made by sugarbeet and sugarcane. Is there using anything like same?

Thank you, dear sis - I just wanted to make sure you were using a sweet syrup in your savory dish. I think honey or corn syrup would work...I'm going to replace the ground beef with tempeh, hope it fools my meat eating husband! Halal meat isn't very available in my area, so I stick to a plant based diet as much as possible. It helps keep my high cholesterol in check as well.

Thank you again, and I would be interested to hear if anyone else tries this wonderful recipe.

Come on sisters, I'm headed to the kitchen, won't you join me?
