Greetings,

You are welcome. Yes, you are right. If you are talking about what I am familiar with...it is called Lahm bi ajeen balbakiyeh. The corners are squared off and the center filled with meat stuffing and pine nuts. However, the ones I am familiar with do not use philo dough...but rather a "low yeast" based dough. iIam incorporating that recipe into my next cookbook. I hope you will continue to enjoy the recipes and thanks for contacting me.

@ChefKamal1 chef this is'nt on the subject of turbans but on a lebanese lamb pie I once ate in detroit. it was a delight! but I have never seen it agian in other lebanese establishments. it was all baked or fried I'm not certin,in a completely enclosed pastry shell. it was triangle shaped about seven or eight inches across mostly filling an average size plate. does this sound fimiliar to you?

Greetings,

It is hard to say because so many individuals...and individual places can "custom" prepare various versions of either lahm bi ajeen or sambousik in various sizes...shapes...then either bake or fry them.

Hey, thanks for the vidoes they really help along with the book! a question though, the lahm bi ajeen that i know is rectangular shape and they dont use this type of dough, i think they use philo dough but no too sure.. does that sound familiar or are they called something else?

thanks :)
