Easy recipes for People who normally don't cook (OP)
I am starting this thread to keep from derailing the 'What Did you have for Supper" thread.
Baked Onion Rings for 2
Ingredients
1 large onion such as a Bermuda, Texas 1016, or a large Vidalia
1 bowl ice water
2 egg white beat until frothy, but not stiff
Peel and cut about 1/4 inch off the top and bottom then slice in half (going across not up and down, you want to make rings)
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Prepare a cookie sheet by lightly coating with vegetable oil
Drop the two thick slices into the bowl of ice water, throw the top and bottom into the beaten egg white. After about 30 minutes the slices in the ice water will separate into rings. Pat he rings dry with a paper towel and drop them into the beaten egg whites. Let them set int there and stir gently every now and then, you want the rings and top and bottoms well covered with the egg white.
Prepare the batter:
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder (Baking powder, not baking soda)
Garlic powder to taste, at least a teaspoon full
Black pepper
Mix all of the dry ingredients together. set aside
beat together one cup milk and one egg. These need to be well mixed
Now you have to work fast
add the milk and egg mixture to the dry mixture stirring constantly. You want it to be about the consistency of heavy cream or white glue. Slowly add additional milk if needed to get it to that consistency
Start dropping the onion rings and tops and bottoms into the batter, just long enough to coat well. Take out and put on the cookie sheet leave a little space between the rings.
Put in oven for 15 minutes, raise temp to 400F let cook 5 more minutes or until light brown.
When brown serve while hot, salt to taste. But go lightly with the salt as they will already be salty from the baking powder.
1/2 Salmon (Cut length ways from head to tail, not across the Middle)
dill (Dry dill works fine)
lemon juice
onion slices
salt
milk
black pepper
Butter
Soak the salmon in milk for about an hour
Prepare a cookie sheet by oiling lightly and covering with either onion slices or chopped onions
Sprinkle some lemon juice, Black pepper and dill over the onions
Place the salmon skin side down on top of the onions. Sprinkle more lemon juice over the salmon, salt, pepper and sprinkle with dill. Cover the fish with a layer of sliced onion. Put a couple pats of butter on top of the onion. cover lightly with aluminum foil.
Check in about 20 minutes. the fish should be just turning opaque white and starting to flake when done.
DO NOT OVER COOK--You want baked salmon not dehydrated Salmon.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

Not if the cow it came from was halal. Hamburger is ground beef. Named after Hamburg Germany. Other names for it are keema, ground beef, chile beef etc. But to be technical it should be called Ground beef as it is the fried ground beef patty that is the original hamburger. That was popular in Hamburg Germany hence it got called Hamburger Meat, (the meat use to make a Hamburger) Before then the ground beef was eaten raw and called Beef Tatar.

This makes me concerned. I have had beef tatar, is it haram?
What about sashimi? I love sashimis.
I'm not sure i've heard the ruling that uncooked meat/fish is haram to eat.

This will require the input of one more knowledgeable. I have heard that properly prepared Beef Tatar is halal as it does not contain any blood. All of the blood is removed in the preparation. The meat is ground several times until it is super fine and the released blood is drained between grindings and the meat is rinsed in water or sometimes vinegar between grindings. But, I can not remember what scholar I got that from.
Same for sushi and Sashimi. I am a bit more certain that any form of raw fish would be halal as fish does not have red blood like mammals have. Plus, up until recent times there was no way to cook on-board a boat and fisherman have always eaten raw fish when out at sea for weeks at a time. This would have been true at the time of the Prophet(PBUH) and I have never seen any ayyats or hadith that forbid eating raw sea food.
But to be certain I suggest one to consult with an authenticate scholar before assuming either is Halal.
