How to make your own pickles:

This is the non-Polish Kosher Garlic Dill recipe. The main difference is no vinegar so no nasty sour zing or soggy pickles, but less shelf life.

What you will need:
A sharp kitchen knife
A 2 liter jar such as the ones you can buy Spanish olives in at Costco
a plastic lid
a cutting board
a medium sized smooth rock that can fit inside the neck of the jar.
A Tbsp measure
A Tea kettle

Ingredients-
-10-20 Medium-sized organic gherkin cucumbers
-1 bundle organic whole wild dill (should be slightly pale and have all the parts of the plant other than the roots.
-1 Clove garlic
1 box Kosher salt

Instructions-
First of all, the typical brine mixture is 2 Tbsp per 1 liter of water. Anyway, take the plastic lid and cut it to a size where it can fit inside the jar. Wash cucumbers, lid, dill, garlic and rock thoroughly. If you want to speed up the pickling process, cut the ends of each cucumber and pierce each end with a knife. If not, multiply each time estimate by 3.

Cram the bottom of the jar with dill until the dill is about 2 inches thick. Use the WHOLE plant. If there is extra, back and then throw out. wild dill has viable seeds and is considered a noxious weed in much of the US which makes it a major contributor to environmental destruction. Next, stuff the jar with pickles leaving about two inches of space. Take the teeth from the garlic clove, cut the ends off and stuff all the teeth whole in the jar. Add 2-21/2 Tbsp of kosher salt.

Add 2 Liters boiling water to jar. after pouring in the boiling water, cover the contents with the plastic lid, place rock on top of lid so it acts as a cork. Then Screw on lid of jar. seal, and set aside.

After 48 hours, you will have half pickles, they are crunchy and have the smell and slight zing of a pickle with the overall flavor of a cucumber. At this point, you should transfer the pickles to smaller jars with some dill and garlic in each and refrigerate. Pickles will be fully pickled within 72 hours. Enjoy within 3 weeks.

Kick-ass and easy goy hummus:

2 cans garbonzo beans (chickpeas)
3/4 cup garbonzo-water from can
8 teaspoons of olive oil (extra virgin, high quality the better)
2-3 pinches of salt
1 medium lemon (juice, seeds need to be removed)
2 teaspoons of tahini sauce
4 cloves of garlic

Mix all ingredients in food processor for 3-6 minutes, until hummus is smooth and non lumpy or grainy. Can add 2-4 extra teaspoons of olive oil for taste and texture. Can add extra garlic to give it a strong(er) garlic taste.

Can be eaten right away; best to chill in refrigerator for 30-45 mins, it helps the texture, the consistency of flavour and I personally like my hummus served cold with warm Middle Eastern flat-bread or Naan.

I've had positive results from people, so enjoy. Recipe isn't written in stone, ingredients can be added/deleted to change taste and consistency, I like hummus with distinct oil oil and garlic hint.

I did a thread kinda like this where people showcase their actual dishes, there are a few recipes inside.

I need to try some of that, Robtard.

Bourek, Bourekas, Boereg... my favourite pastry thing EVER.
If there is a better usage for minced meat, cheese or veggies in a pastry, I have not heard about it.

This one is with beef filling but there are tons of other variations.

Recepie.

Main:
7 sheets Phyllo Pastry
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 pinch salt
2L pyrex casserole dish

Beef Filling:
250 gr medium ground beef
1 onion, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 small cubanelle pepper, chopped
Salt
Black pepper

Put the salt, black pepper, ground beef and onion in a pan. Cook on medium heat until the beef is done. Add the tomatoes and the pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Put aside.

In a bowl, mix the eggs, olive oil and milk with a whisk. This liquid mix will go between every two layers of the pastry, and will complement your choice of filling. The spinach or beef filling will go in the middle only.

Grease the casserole dish. Place two sheets of the pastry in the bottom and over the sides of the dish. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid mix on top. Take another two sheets of pastry, fold in half, and stack in the dish. Then, spread all of your main filling onto the stack Resume layering the pastry and the liquid mix until the pastry is finished. Then, fold the sides of the bottom layer over. Make sure you pour the remaining mix on top to prevent burning in the oven.

Leave the casserole dish in the fridge for 2-3 hours, this way it will be more crispy and tasty. Pre-heat the oven to 175 C (350 F). Bake until golden brown.

Does sound good, reminds me a little of my mother's empanadas.
