I learned that On the Eve of Christmas everyone goes to church wearing a completely new outfit. The Christmas service ends at midnight with the ringing of church bells, and then people go home to eat a special Christmas meal known as fata, which consists of bread, rice, garlic and boiled meat. On Christmas morning people
in Egypt visit friends and neighbors. They take with them kaki which is a type of shortbread, which they take with them to give to the people they visit and eaten with a drink known as short bat. Christmas Day is a public holiday for Christians.
3 large sweet peppers, green, yellow, orange or red 2 Tb. unsalted butter 2/3 c. corn kernels off the cob or canned 1 small onion chopped lb. Italian sausage turkey links, sweet or hot 2 c. crumbled corn bread (approx.) c. shredded pepper jack cheese
Instructions:
Heat over to 350F. Slice peppers in half from stem to bottom and remove stem. Also remove seeds and membranes, and set aside. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion, corn and sausage, breaking the sausage apart with a spoon or spatula, and cook until the sausage is no longer pink. Add crumbled corn bread and a little water if mixture seems too dry. Divide filling among peppers evenly and top with shredded cheese. Bake peppers at 350F, covered, for about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and peppers are tender.
* If pepper jack cheese is unavailable, use shredded mozzarella and add hot peppers to taste.
