Note

Using hot water helps keep the pickles of maqti or cucumber crisp.This method of adding salt to the water is called “toushat al-bayda” (egg float test); it helps us make sure the salt amount is correct.Also from Alisar, here is Macaroon DessertFor more special sweet recipes from Alisar, click on Apple Jam

Step 1

Heat a sufficient amount of water and begin by adding ground coarse salt (so it dissolves faster) to the water. Place a whole egg in its shell in the water (wash the egg first).
