knafeh

Last week when we traveled up to Western Galilee - we had a chance to stop by at an incredible little Knafeh place, where this well known Arabic dessert was made to perfection. The kataif (string like dough) & cheese married together as they pan fried in a generous amount of butter turning the dough crisp and the cheese melty. The smell was unreal. After frying the knafeh, rose water simple syrup is poured on top of the dessert saturating the dough and cheese. The dessert is then finished with crushed pistachio, raisins, pomegranates, and rose petals. YASSS!
