Eid Sweets – Algerian Style – M’khabez

I don’t usually go all Algerian when it comes to Eid baking, or any baking for that matter, but I wanted to do one Algerian style sweet or cake along with other simpler non-Algerian ones. So today, I’m sharing a recipe for M’khabez. If you’ve ever had North African sweets, you’ve probably tried something like this and just not known what it’s called (very much like myself, who had to ask friends before posting this!) It’s basically a nut-filled, syrup-soaked pastry, a lot like the other Algerian sweet pictures I’ve shared in the past: 

The Adhans’ time

Algeria is an amazing country….
Algeria has got sea, Algeria has got mountains, Algeria has got desert….. Overall Algeria has got beautiful people, a real sisterhood and a real brotherhood.
All of that has touched me very much and I love it profoundly.
But on the top of that, there is something else I would like to share.
Few years ago, I went on my first trip to Algiers (Alger LA BLANCHE), I felt at home, actually better than my own homeland; it was as to be at home within an Islamic environment. It sounded all so familiar, so noisy…..that almost overtook one of the most beautiful things I have EVER heard…..THE ADHANS’ Time.
Then it came night time, the Fajar time…..the Adhans’ Time….
In the quietness of a hot dawn, suddenly the Adhan started…..Allahu akbar , Allahu akbar…..and before it ended a second adhan began, and a third one and a fourth one…… I could hear almost five adhans altogether, mashallah, Allahu akbar!
Tears started to flow….I wished I could share it with the rest of the world.
