Hey brothers and sisters. I had this idea of starting a cookery club where we can swap recipes. It'd be sooooooo good cuz we're all from different parts of the world and we can share some of our fav dishes here. I know students living away from home miss home-made food. So why not try to make it yourself?!
I'm gonna start off with a really delicious and easy recipe. Anyone can make it. Don't let it put you off just cuz you've never even boiled an egg
I am only having to cook for myself these days, so it's all simple and quick to make food. That's when I had this idea. Brothers don't be put off by cooking. It's well worth the effort and if it makes you feel any better, just remember that the world's best chefs are men looooool
This recipe contains fishfingers. Don't let that put you off. wait till you taste it lol. My bro used to request me to make it for him when he was going out on day trips. So you can imagine it can't be as bad as the fishfingers make it sound.
Ok here goes...... (BTW, this is a snack, not a dish)
You will need: (for one person)
* 5 fish fingers
* half an onion thinly sliced
* 1 small tomato or half a large one finely chopped
* 3 table-spoons of cooking oil
* 1/4 teaspoon of chilli powder (or add to your taste)
* salt to taste
* pitta bread/bread/chapatti (heat last)
*frying pan (the best are the non-stick ones)
Method
* heat the oil in the pan and fry the fishfingers on one side and the onions on the other side.
* keep moving onions to prevent them from burning and when they turn brown, add the chopped tomatoes. Mix and allow to cook.
* check to see if fishfingers have browned and turn over.
Note: To check if fishfingers have cooked, break or lift the batter to see if fish is white. Raw fish will be a transparent colour. Cooked fish will be an opaque white.
* add the salt and chilli powder to the onion and tomotoes.
* once fish has cooked and tomatoes have melted. Using your spatula or blunt knife, cut each fishfinger into bite size pieces.
* Now mix everything in the pan together and cook for another min or two, on the lowest heat possible.
*while you wait, heat up the pitta bread, chapatti or whatever you will use.
Note: Do not heat bread.
*Allow the fishfinger filling to cool slightly cuz by now the smell will have made you hungry and you'll burn your mouth trying to eat it quickly lol.
Now just add the filling to your choice of bread and enjoy!
Some Tips
*If you like, you can put some salad in your bread or even add sweetcorn to the filling when cooking it.
* pitta bread can be warmed in a toaster.
* pitta bread is easier to handle when eating if cut in the middle to make two separate pockets, rather than the way they do it in take-aways.
We've all had our donners in pitta bread fall apart on us havent we? lol
I hope that looked easy. It really is If any brave sis or bro attempts this, let me know how it went lol. I've never tasted arabian, somalian, turkish or food from any other country for that matter, so I can't wait to see some of your recipes. LOl, I'm feeling so hungry now.
generously (upto tablespoon for 10) add honey 2 the water that they are goin to be cooked with,
**modify if usin a steamer by perhaps lightly coatin the sprout with honey b4 steamin
seriously this is some tasty sprout, sugar is ok if u got no honey and it does make them nicer, but wow, honey make them sooo tasty, i wished i had made more, and i have been sproutphobic until i found this recipe.
Just noticed you are making a sauce that reguire 1/2 cup. I am assuming that is calling for either wine or beer if it is wine simply use an unsweetened grape juice instead. If it is calling for beer used a small amount of malt and crushed hops plus 1/2 cup water. If it is calling for a liquor such as brandy, post the name of the liquor and I will post a substitute.

Idk why this thread has been abandoned for so loooong but I think this thread is great!
I love cooking.... sorta.. Its just that whenever me and my sis try some baking dish, its turns out to be rip-off. Its like my oven is a big bad evil bad luck box! X(
Btw, I'm putting up ONION RINGS recipe. I've never tried it, waiting for the right time. I'm on a diet
ONION RINGS
* Sweet white onions (sliced in rings)
* 1 egg
* 1 cup milk
* 1/4 cup oil
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup flour
* 1 tsp baking pwd.
* oil (for frying)
1) Mix egg, oil and milk on low speed for 1 minute.
2) Add dry ingredients and mix well until smooth.
3) Dip in batter and deep-fry until golden brown. Strain oil and lay them on kitchen towel.
Serve with any dip!
The quickest dip I make is garlic sauce. I just mix in a little amount of garlic paste into a bowl of yoghurt with a pinch of salt.
Its so yum...!
