What to do with the left over Riz bil Bazalia: make Oozie!

Oozie: a Palestinian puff-pastry cuisine

So although the Riz Bil Bazalia was awesome yesterday, there was way too much of it left over. I decided to use this as an opportunity to try out another dish. Though it took less than 20 minutes to prepare, the oozie tasted like an entirely different meal.

All you have to do for this is take a piece of package puff pastry, roll it out using flour and rolling pin. Place the sheet of puff pastry in a cup or bowl and brush with melted butter. Stuff the pastry with the left-over rice and peas dish (adding slices of cooked carrots and pistachios is something people will also often add to the oozie stuffing). Pinch the sides of the puff pastry to bring the edges together--you want to form a sphere. Brush the outside of the pastry with some butter, and place in the oven until golden brown!

Voila! Enjoy :)
