There is something about this time of year that puts a smile on Julie's face and a little spring in her step (ahem) and in her cooking. This full-of-life moment of breathing in the refreshing new air, absorbing the new signs of life all around her and awakening to the sudden surprises that the springtime offers inspires Julie to cook, create and celebrate this sensational season. What better way for Julie to rejoice in the stimulating surroundings than by her preparing and sharing a special spring meal with her crown roasted leg of lamb meat called xaruff mishwee infused with a bouquet of fresh herbs and slowly roasted until fork-tender makes quite the centerpiece on the spring-time table. Julie accompanies this amazing main meal with her fire-roasted baby wheat grains infused with aromatics called freekeh, a super-grain that is sweeping the nation along with her steamed spring vegetables that are tossed in a glorious garlic and fresh-herb butter sauce called khoudra b samneh. Together, these impressive platters truly set the stage and make this show a stunning spring sensation during this significant time of year when everything seems possible.
