A Medieval Arabic recipe found on TheFoodBlog
Fouad Kassab who runs The Food Blog writes: When I first cooked this dish, I was overwhelmed with excitement. I felt like a scientist or an archaeologist rediscovering a long forgotten world. And truly, when I tasted the end result, this dish blew me away, exceeding all expectations. The flavours of saffron, dried fruit, almonds and rose water really give you a sense of medieval Arabia. I hope this recipe reaches the thousands of Middle-Eastern chefs out there, and I would love to see al-sikbaj make the remarkable resurrection that it so deserves. So here it goes, my recipe for al-sikbaj, put together after many hours of reading through medieval cook books and attempting to reach the right balance of ingredients.
This does look amazing! I’d love spend my days researching and trying out ancient foods!!
Thanks for bringing this by TBT & FF!

I’ve posted several posts on Viking food too a few years ago, but I find medieval food even more interesting 🙂
