The beauty of Arabia & Muslims

My many trips into Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, floating on top of the Dead Sea, repeatedly through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and gulf have been ones filled with joy, sharing, and wealth.

Videos on making the Arabian version of Baklava

The 60 second version

And be sure to ask me about making my Hawaiian version of Baklava with Crushed Pineapple, Coconut Syrup, and small diced Macadamia Nuts!

Here's the extended cut version

Now, can you imagine how good my Southern Boy Pecan with Brown Sugar, Sorghum, and Cinnamon Baklava is!?

Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain, & the UAE

King Hassan II of the Kingdom of Morocco مملكة البحرين‎

الملكي المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية والمملكة المغربية

Chef Marti served, boots in the sand, on numerous missions in the desert region of Southwest Asia and received combat pay for boots in the sand (and air/ocean submerged and surface ops) from the 1. Gulf War (Operation Southern Watch), 2. Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Despite needing an operation after being told he could die in as little as eight hours in the desert, he requested to remain in the theater after, and return to duty.  He was flown to the USS Saipan to be operated on-off the Horn of Africa and recalls seeing hundreds of dolphins wishing him well from the helicopter - while on his way.  He earned the nickname, "The Terminator," when he returned. 

 
طاه مارتي خدم، والأحذية في الرمال، في العديد من البعثات في منطقة صحراء جنوب غرب آسيا وحصل على أجر لمكافحة الأحذية في الرمال (وغمرت الهواء / المحيطات والتقاط سطح) من حرب الخليج 1.، 2. عملية حرية العراق (OIF) وعملية الحرية الدائمة (عملية الحرية الدائمة). على الرغم من حاجة إلى عملية جراحية بعد أن قال انه يمكن ان يموت في اقل من ثماني ساعات في الصحراء، وقال انه طلب منه البقاء في المسرح بعد، والعودة إلى العمل. نقل جوا إلى حاملة الطائرات سايبان الى أن تعمل على قبالة القرن الافريقي ويتذكر رؤية مئات الدلافين متمنيا له التوفيق من المروحية - بينما كان في طريقه. حصل على لقب "المنهي"، عندما عاد.

Being taught Arabic in Jordan

Instructed to by Mr. Emad Al Jayah and his partner

"I first came to understand and study the Arabic language, and the Muslim people of Southwest Asia, when I was at Camp David.  After being ordered to prepare for a visit by King Hassan II of Morocco with the President, I started to cook for the King - in preparation thereof. I began by studying Tagines (a clay pot featured herein) which also is a dish served in the pot, orange flower water, couscous, sweet mint tea, and hummus. One of the most famous tagines is the tagine of chicken, potatoes, and olives. Moroccan cuisine is influenced by Berber and Mediterranean cooks and the royal kitchens of Fes, Meknes, Marrakech, Rabat, and Tetouan. Flavorings include lemon pickle, cold-pressed, unrefined olive oil, and dried fruits. Some claim it is heavily spiced, or more than Middle Eastern food. When I later went to Jordan many times, a business colleague of mine, Emad Al Jayah, and his trusty partner taught me basic Arabic."


"جئت لأول مرة إلى فهم ودراسة اللغة العربية، والشعب المسلم في جنوب غرب آسيا، عندما كنت في كامب ديفيد. بعد أن أمر للتحضير لزيارة يقوم بها الملك الحسن الثاني ملك المغرب مع الرئيس، لقد بدأت لطهي ل الملك - في إطار التحضير له بدأت من خلال دراسة الطواجن (وعاء من الفخار المميز فوق الجلالة له أعلاه) الذي هو أيضا طبق خدم في وعاء والماء زهرة البرتقال والكسكس والشاي بالنعناع والحمص واحدة من الاكثر شهرة. الطواجن هي طاجن الدجاج والبطاطا والزيتون. ويتأثر المطبخ المغربي من قبل البربر وطهاة البحر الأبيض المتوسط ​​والمطابخ الملكية في فاس، مكناس، مراكش، الرباط وتطوان. وتشمل النكهات مخلل الليمون وزيت الزيتون الباردة ضغط، غير المكرر والفواكه المجففة . ويزعم البعض أنه متبل بشدة، أو أكثر من المواد الغذائية في الشرق الأوسط ".

Making the many different kinds of Hummus!

Royal Hashemite Kingdom Hummus

We can make about 15 different kinds of hummus - so why not offer a 60-foot long hummus bar? The bar includes the different hummus to enjoy, the 200 toppings to pick from, and 20 kinds of bread, pita, and crackers! Here, it becomes less important to follow the exact measurements and blend them as you enjoy things. Some people double the lemon juice because they love lemon; others use more olive oil and find my recipe to be stupid because they love it thin, while still yet, many make a much thicker version by using more garbanzo beans. It is all up to you and what you enjoy in life!

"The anything longer than 60 seconds it gets deleted!" - version

We do have a lot of fans who detest any video longer than 60 seconds and mention to me they delete and erase everything. They can't and don't want to watch or enjoy anything longer than that. With that in mind, please enjoy this 60-second version - and remember it is not really important to precisely measure every ingredient. Hummus is about mixing and making it as thick or thin you enjoy it! Here is the printed recipe for you.
