Fatai (Lebanese Meat Pies) Fatai (Lebanese Meat Pies)
I looked up a recipe for my husband's beloved "fatai" (my husband calls it "fatai," but it's really called "fataya") and came up with my own version using more meat.The dough is a bit firm, but if you let it rest for a bit, it will be easier to roll out.When wrapping it up, don't completely close the top, but leave a gap so that it opens a bit while baking.

Kourou Dough with Olive Oil - Cheese Pies Kourou Dough with Olive Oil - Cheese Pies
Kourou dough is more or less the same everywhere. Some use margarine, others sunflower oil, some use milk, others yogurt, and so on. I don't prefer sunflower oils and margarines, and I always, always replace them with extra virgin olive oil that we have from Crete. Also, I don't like strained cow's milk yogurts; I prefer those with the skin on top... You might call it peculiar... maybe! Let me show you how I make kourou dough. In this case, I made cheese pies, but it can be used anywhere you need kourou dough.Cost is relatively moderate. Quite an easy recipe even for beginners!Dough preparation time: 15 minutesCheese pie preparation time: 1 hourBaking time: About 25 minutes for small cheese pies
