Busy Baby Mama talks with Chef Musa, an 11 year old Hafiz student who loves to cook. If he’s not busy memorizing the Quran, he’s in the kitchen memorizing a new recipe to place in his Halal and Healthy Cook Book Journal.

This busy Hajj season was filled with interesting Qurbani meals from around the world as Musa’s family visited friends and family from various countries and shared exotic Eid meals. This sparked an idea in Musa. After looking at his family’s own Qurbani meat, he contemplated on a possible meal plan. How could he cook an all-in-one meal while he fed a maximum number of people? There was the classic Mogul Biryani from India to choose from, or a quick crock pot meal such as the traditional Beef Chap Stew with Joloff Rice from Africa. He finally decided to opt for the Turkish Kebab with green and red peppers.

His mother helped him pull out the correct ingredients for the recipe from the refridgerator, and he got straight to work. He had to put everything together in 30 minutes before he rushed off to study for his test.

Here is Chef Musa’s recommended recipe. He saves all his recipes in his Recipe Journal which he creates online from a website called www.smilebox.com. The website offers free options that can be used to email friends and family or it allows you to become a member and download & print to make a family cooking album.

Enjoy!
