Hi Cindy,
There are some bean pie recipes, but none that would have been
made by someone of Middle Eastern descent. They're all American green bean
pies or Mexican bean pies. Ask your friend for the name of the dish in the
language of origin and what country the dish originated in. I may be able
to find it that way.

Hello Forrest,
In 1984, Robert Hamaty, a pilot for Cayman Airways, and his wife Carlene
Hamaty, an in-flight supervisor for the same airline, decided that the
Cayman Islands should have their won rum, similar to Jamaican rum. So, they
started their own company and called it "Tortuga Rum", "tortuga" being the
original name of the islands, meanung "turtle". By 1987, the rum had become
popular, and in 1990, Robert retired from piloting for medical reasons and
devoted all his time to Tortuga Rum.
Carlene had a rum cake recipe that had been handed down in her family for
generations, and in 1987, she began baking rum cakes for their friends using
Tortuga Rum. The cake was first publicly offered on the menu of a local
restaurant, and by 1990 a a 1,700 square-foot commercial bakery was
established to keep up with demand for the cake.
The trademark ingredient in the cake is a generous portion of special
five-year old Tortuga Gold Rum that is not available to the public. Every
cake is individually glazed with this rum by hand before packaging.
Although the authentic Tortuga Rum Cake contains no preservatives, a
vacuum-sealing process ensures a shelf life of six months and will keep
indefinitely if refrigerated or frozen. Their website is:
Tortuga Rum
The real, true, original Tortuga Rum Cake recipe is still a secret. It's
never been given to anyone. However, as is their wont, people have attempted
to make copycat recipes for the cake. Two of these are below.
Phaed
Kathie's Blue Ribbon Rum Cake
List of Ingredients
Basic Scratch Mix:
2 cups Cake Flour
1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
4 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 stick Butter (in bits)
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Cake:
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
Full Recipe of Basic Cake Mix (above)
1 pkg. (3 1/2 oz.) vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 c. milk
4 eggs
1/2 c. Whaler's Vanille Rum
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsps. vanilla
Rum Soaking Glaze:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter (not margarine)
1/4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. Whaler's Vanille Rum
Recipe
Basic Cake Mix:
Use an electric mixer on low speed to combine the ingredients in a large
mixing bowl until the mix is the consistency of fine gravel, and all of the
particles are almost equal in size. (Basic Cake mix may be stored in a
container in the refrigerator for 3 months. This makes about 5 cups of mix
and may be multiplied for other recipes as needed)
Cake:
Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a large bundt pan (full size 12 cup) with
non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chopped nuts into the bottom.
Place Basic Cake Mix, pudding mix, milk, eggs, rum, oil and vanilla in a
large bowl and combine on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 or
3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl half way through. Batter should be very
smooth. Pour into prepared bundt pan and level out top.
Bake until fully golden and tester comes out clean and cake springs
back--about 55 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack while
making soaking glaze.
Rum Soaking Glaze:
In a small saucepan combine butter, water and sugar. Bring to a boil
carefully as mixture boils over very easily. Reduce to a simmer and cook
until sugar is dissolved and syrup is combined well and a little thicker.
Remove from heat and add rum and mix to combine.
While cake is still cooling, pour hot syrup into and on top of cake. There
is a lot of syrup and if cake doesn't soak it up right away just wait a
couple minutes and add the rest. It will take time to soak it up.
Cool cake completely in bundt pan before turning out onto serving platter.
This cake is delicate, so once it is turned out, it cannot be moved around
easily. Can be eaten when fully cool, but better the next day.

Tortuga Rum Cake
List of Ingredients
Cake:
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 pkg. Butter yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1 pkg. (3 1/2 oz.) vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 c. water
4 eggs
1/2 c. light or dark rum (Tortuga Rum if you can find it, however Whalers
Vanilla Rum works great!)
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsps. vanilla
Rum Soaking Glaze:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter (not margarine)
1/4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. Tortuga rum/Whalers rum (this is where the taste will really show)
For The Cake:
Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a large bundt pan (full size 12 cup) with
non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chopped nuts into the bottom.
Place cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, rum, oil and vanilla in a large
bowl and combine on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 or 3
minutes. Scrape down the bowl half way through. Batter should be very
smooth. Pour into prepared bundt pan and level out top.
Bake until fully golden and tester comes out clean and cake springs
back--about 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack
while making soaking glaze.
For The Glaze:
In a small saucepan combine butter, water and sugar. Bring to a boil
carefully as mixture boils over very easily. Reduce to a simmer and cook
until sugar is dissolved and syrup is combined well and a little thicker.
Remove from heat and cool 5 - 10 minutes. Add rum and mix to combine.
While cake is still cooling, pour hot syrup into and on top of cake. There
is a lot of syrup and if cake doesn't soak it up right away just wait a
couple minutes and add the rest. It will take time to soak it up.
Cool cake completely in bundt pan before turning out onto serving platter.
This cake is delicate, so once it is turned out, it cannot be moved around
easily. Can be eaten when fully cool, but better the next day.
BTW: Substituting chocolate cake mix should make a chocolate "clone".
"Malibu" rum has a coconut, pina colada taste and might be a good version.
You can also add 1/2 cup of coconut to mix for a change of pace.

Hello Joe,
I did find a few recipes. See below.
Phaed
Cabbage Strudel
Ingredients :
2-3 heads cabbage
Butter
Salt
1 1/2 c. bread flour (not all-purpose)
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. lukewarm water
Preparation :
Chop the cabbage fine. As you are chopping, take that which you
have chopped and put in a large kettle over medium or low heat (do
not brown). Put a little butter on the bottom of the pan for the
first layer of cabbage. Sprinkle a little salt and add the next
layer of cabbage. Stir the cabbage to avoid browning on the bottom.
As you layer the chopped cabbage, add a little salt. Cook just to
soften the cabbage, then set aside to cool completely. If it is a
little warm, it will cause you trouble when you make your strudel.
To make the dough: (A neat project for a mother and daughter team.)
Sift together the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add beaten egg. Add
lukewarm water. Combine quickly and knead on a board until elastic
and no longer sticks to the board. Place on a floured plate and
cover it with a warm bowl for 30 minutes (45 minutes if the bowl is
not warm). Put the dough into the bowl and work 2 tablespoons
melted butter into the dough by hand completely. Place a clean
cloth on a very large table. Sprinkle it with flour and smooth it
by hand. Place the dough in the center of the table and roll as
thin as possible with a rolling pin (not very thin). By placing
both hands underneath the dough, pull and stretch the dough around
and around until very thin. (I was told if I could read the
newspaper through it, that's thin enough). It works great to have
Mom on one side of the table and daughter working from the other
side. When you have stretched the dough (it will even hang over the
edge of the table, it can be as large as 2 yards by 2 yards).
Sprinkle the cabbage over the dough and shake a little black pepper
on top, if you wish. Then sprinkle a little melted butter all over
the dough and cabbage. Fold the edge of dough over, and by holding
both sides of the cloth, gently raise the cloth a little at a time.
The whole strudel will roll toward the center of the table. When
you have rolled half of it, go to the other side and repeat, until
the roll meets the first one you did. Cut the strudel into pieces
to fit the pans you are going to bake them in (I use an 8 1/2 x 12
inch, so I cut 12 inch pieces and put in greased pan. You will
probably have to use two or more pans. Bake at 350 degrees for
about 1 hour. You can brush the browned top with melted butter
after taking it from the oven. Serve it hot, but it is great cold
if you are lucky enough to have any leftovers. I make this so
seldom and like it so much, that I don't have anything else at that
meal, but my Aunt Mary served it with a roast beef.

sheet on damp towel. Brush lightly with melted butter. Place
second phyllo sheet on top[ of first. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of
bread crumbs on left-hand side of phyllo. Fold right hand side over

melted butter. Spread 1/2 vegetable mixture along long edge,
stopping 1 inch short of the short sides. Fold borders into encase
vegetables. Roll as you would a jelly roll. Place seam side down
on buttered baking sheet. Brush roll with melted butter. Repeat
for second roll. Bake until golden, approximately 30 minutes. Cut
each into 3 or 4 sections.
