OM ALI STORY AND RECIPE 

Author : Marisa Lopez Chicote

There is a legend about  the origin of this dessert.  Om Ali was the first wife of Sultan Ezz El Din Aybek.  In Egypt, women were not allowed to rule but were allowed to be regents until their children were older to rule.  When the sultan died, his second wife, Shagaret El Dorr, had a dispute with Om Ali over which of his sons would be the sultan’s successor. 

Shagaret El Dorr hatched a plan by gifting her husband’s first wife with a maid of hers. While the first wife was in the hamam to bathe, she was beaten to death with a slipper by her own maiden.  To celebrate her death, she ordered this dessert and distributed it all over her country.

OM ALI RECIPE

 

Ingredients:

  •  1 package of puff pastry or phyllo dough sheets
  •  1 cup of chopped pistachios
  •  1 cup of chopped hazelnuts
  •  1 cup of raisins
  •  1 cup coconut flakes
  •  1 and 1/4 cups white sugar
  •  4 cups of milk
  •  2 cups of whipped cream with sugar

Elaboration:

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Butter a mold (23×33 cm).

Place the puff pastry or phyllo dough sheet painted with butter or ghee in an oven tray and put it in the oven.  Watch closely.  When the top layer is seen to turn crisp and golden, remove them from the oven.

Preheat the oven to broil.

In a bowl, combine the walnuts, hazelnuts, raisins, coconut and 1/4 cup of the sugar.  Break the cooked puff pastry into pieces and stir it into the mixture of walnuts and other dried fruits.  

Spread this mixture evenly in our mold or source.

Bring the milk and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Pour it over the mixture.

Beat the cream with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.  Spread it evenly on the plate throughout the mixture.

Place dessert under the grill until the top top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.  Serve hot.
