Eid Recipes For The End Of Ramadan

An instruction from the prophet Muhammad is to “eat together, and do not separate, for the blessing is in the company.”

After a month of fasting during Ramadan, Muslims will celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, a three-day festival with family, friends and food. We asked the HuffPost Religion community what they planned to eat during the festivity.

Eid menu’s included everything from pizza to Sheer Khorma , a traditional Arabic dish that includes vermicelli in saffron sweet cream. There were plenty of ideas for desert among our community as sweets are a big part of any Eid celebration.

A slideshow of replies from our community can be found below, as well as selected recipes from My Halal Kitchen, a Chicago based food blog run by chef and food writer Yvonne Maffei (thanks Yvonne!).

The muslims here in Kandahar were serving up Katusha rockets for Eid. I don't think I like Eid, even if it is a part of the religion of peace.

Peace Be With You........May you come home safe & sound along with the others..... hopefully that will be very soon. Enough blood, sweat & tears..This is not God's will...This is only Man's will.....remember to put God first and everything else secondary, don't be led astray by man's will. Peace.

It is truly a remarkable thing that Muslims have been continuously at war with other nations and among themselves since the religion was founded. There are at this time about twenty two wars in this world of ours and ALL of them involve Muslims either at war with themselves or with people who allowed them to come into their countries in peace. There is peace only if you are one of the particular sect that is dominant in the area you are in. And then, you could offend and be subject to death by the councils or even by your own family. Especially if you are female, or homosexual!

May be if other people leave Muslim lands the wars they are fighting will be less? I forgot, many of those lans are rish in oil.

I would love to be invited for a meal, however please do not try to make me join any cult.

If you're forced to join a cult, then you didn't go to a Muslim's house. Peace be upon you.

I would love to have a delicious meal, I frequent the Arabic Restaurants in my area often. Peace and love to you as well.

What is sad about this, is that you would be welcomed as a guest . They do take the high road even when there are cryptic people like you throwing your little insutl.

Religion insults me every day, so keep your little insult to yourself.

Biryani on rye? Man you need to quit smoking the pipe and quit the drum circle.

Goat stew sounds great!

[MarkNS]

I've got to assume you've never had goat then. It's awful.

[Rex Whitmer]

Though I am not Muslim, nor do I approve of their practices, but much of their food is to die for. Goat meat is not bad at all properly prepared and processed. When I had children at home I kept goats for milking and often sold them to Muslims who used them for sacrifice. We also killed males and learned to cook them so that people who ate at our house found the meat delicious, until we told them what they had just eaten.

My grandmother makes her sheer khurma for our entire family every Eid, and I always look forward to it.
