LIS'AN EL QA'THI - JUDGES' TONGUE (IRAQI STUFFED EGGPLANT)
Amazing recipe if you love Middle Eastern cooking like me. This dish is Iraqi (in my case, Iraqi-Israeli). It wouldn't surprise me if there was a Persian variant on this dish, because it combines stuffing vegetables with spiced ground meat, and simmering it deliciously in a tasty sauce. It can be served over any type of rice, and has a lot of juice/gravy that is just delicious. It is quite easy (though there are a few steps, none are difficult). This dish is kosher, but cannot be mixed with dairy products of course. It is a powerful and tasty dish, and I suggest that everyone try it. Warning - due to the appearance, I'm not sure how much little children (who are not Middle Eastern) would like it; though if they managed to try it, they would fall in LOVE. For the perfect compliment to this already amazingly rich dish, having hummus, tahina, and hot sauce (schug), and/or amba (an Iraqi pickled mango) - any middle eastern spread/dip. My mouth is watering just thinking about it all.

Steps:
- peel the eggplant, trim off the top and bottom.
- stand eggplant up, and cut LENGTHWISE into 1/8'' thin strips.
- sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin.
- heat a very thin layer of oil on a skillet and fry the eggplant slices in batches, turning once to brown on both sides - do NOT overcook (they will cook to perfection at a later stage) - remember to add a fresh (thin) layer of oil for every batch of eggplant fried - let the eggplant slices try on paper towel.
- in a bowl: mix together the ground meats, the medium onion and garlic (both finely minced), spices to taste (don't overkill), and beaten egg.
- form the ground meat mixture into cylinders (sausage like rods) 1'' thick and 2'' long.
- place a portion of the meat stuffing at one enf othe eggplant slice, and WRAP the eggplant around it - place the rolls in a baking dish.
- Slice up one tomato, and layer on top of eggplant/meat rolls.
- In a saucepan, heat 2 tbsp of oil and saute 1 large diced onion. When soft, add in 1 tomatoe (chopped), salt, pepper, tumeric/curry powder, and any other spices. Stir around until fragrant.
- Add tomato paste, beef/chicken stock, and lemon juice - this is your sauce - bring to boil, then cover and let simmer/thicken for 15 minutes.
- Once the sauce is thickened to your liking, pour it INTO the baking dish (it should cover all the rolls and reach near the top of the dish - this is good (more gravy/sauce for the rice, and ensures a nice even cooking of the meat).
- cover with lid (or aluminum foil), and BAKE at 450 degrees for 1 hour (or until done; one hour is certainly enough).
- take out and ENJOY an exotic taste that I am sure you will love; be proud of yourself, you made an authentic and wonderful Iraqi dish.

IRAQI PINK RICE
From sooogood. Do not make this in a rice cooker. It is not Chinese food. Because the rice is steam cooked, it is important not to open lid while cooking, and to add the correct amount of water. One recipe uses ketchup, not tomato paste. I am adding the option of adding more water for a mushier rice per UmmBinat's suggestion since she is from the region and would know. Cook to your taste.

Steps:
- Wash rice 3 times. We are not making sticky rice here.
- Saute onion in olive oil or veggie oil ,on medium heat for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add rice until all grains are cooked.
- Add water with tomato paste and salt and pepper mixed inches.
- Turn flame up to high.
- When mixture comes to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid.
- Reduce to a simmer; allow to cook 20 minutes; turn off heat.
Tips:
- Use high-quality basmati rice for the best results.
- Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and make the rice less sticky.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the rice. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking.
- Add the rice to the pot along with the water, salt, and oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- To make the pink rice, add a few drops of red food coloring to the water before cooking. You can also add a few saffron threads for a more authentic flavor.
- Serve the pink rice with your favorite Middle Eastern dishes, such as grilled meats, stews, or salads.
