Mutabbaq from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi

11:10


Let's hop right into this oriental dessert.









I saw it in the the BEAUTY-FULL book Jerusalem from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi.

For this addictive dessert you will need:

130 gr unsalted butter
14 sheets of filo pastry
500 gr ricotta
250 gr goats cheese (I used the one from Chavroux)

90 ml water
250 gr sugar 
3tbsp lemon

Butter your mould in.
Spread seven sheets of filo pastry in the mould, making sure to brush some butter between each sheet.
Mix the ricotta and goats cheese together and spread it 'evenly' onto your seventh sheet. Brush some butter on it and spread the other seven sheets of pastry like you did with the seven first ones.
Tuck in the edges.

Put it in the oven, that was pre-heated to 210°C. Let it sit there for about 25 minutes.

Make the syrup by putting the water and sugar in a pan and by mixing in it. Once it boils turn down the heat and add the lemon. Let it simmer for about two minutes. 

Take the mutabbaq out of the oven and pour the syrup all over it.

Serve immediately! But don't burn yourself!




It's really, really good!


Thank you Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi for letting me discover such a superb dessert.
