That sounds nice sis. I will try it sometime InshaAllah. I love red meat. I go mad if I don't eat it regularly.

I bought a packet of couscous a few months ago. But don't know what to do with it. Any recipes will be welcome. They have to be spicy though. :)

Salam, I went queer in my mind one evening and made up this recipe. Actually it is really really yummy, but is only made from the few ingredients that were handy in the kitchen, before going out the next evening to see the film called "Panther" about the Black Panthers, which was being shown by the Socialist Alliance. I gave my cake to them in exchange for dinner since I had only enough money for the film not the meal also.


BECAUSE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH:
the cake meant to taste like soda, to stop you eating too much of it!
Actually it is a Halva not a cake, but humour me.


Cook about a half a cup of adzuki beans, until there is no water left surrounding them.
While they are cooking grease a large cake tin.
Mix the following, in this order, into the cooked beans.
Use what sort of amount seems right after reading the whole recipe.
Carob powder (lots is)
Coconut
Psyllium husks (much)
A big cup of tea
Honey to taste
Then enough self raising flour to hold the mixture together.
Spread it into the bottom of the cake tin.
The mixture needs to be about one centimetre deep and quite stiff.
Then put:
One half of a chopped orange, including the peel,
One chopped banana,
Loads of sugar
Enough water
The inside part of some Aloe Vera
Into a saucepan and bring it to the boil then let it cool.
Mix a liberally decent amount of bi-carbonate of soda into about two cups of spelt flour.
Remember that the more sugar you put in the fruit and water the more bi-carbonate of soda you can get away with.
The aim with the bi-carbonate of soda is to entirely neutralise the acid in the orange, even the peel.
Then mix the orange banana and aloe vera mixture into the spelt mixture
Be quick here and then pour it all over the other mixture in the bottom of the tin.
Cook it in a moderate oven until it hasn't burnt yet.
Let it cool in the tin.
DO NOT SERVE WITH CREAM, but coconut milk or coconut cream will be OK.
Within one hour of eating, go for a longer walk than you are accustomed to.


It is crazy because it is so sweet but makes you not want another bite of any food. One spoonful and I went all day without eating. Normally a cake gets eaten in my company a little too speedily, but the one piece I kept of this one is still 2/3 intact, but I really really want it because it was so delicious. Like a delicious appetite suppressant. So Good!
 
I need a 'chicken & mushroom pie' recipe for tomorrow plzzz. The recipe must include instructions to make own pastry. No ready-made pasty recipes plz.

Tnx v.v. much in advance & sorry to make your mouth water lol.
 
Share your recipe

I admit I hate cooking and I am not very good at it.. but recently bought a few good recipe books from borders-- and found one of my favorite deserts in one of them called (Mille Feuille) -- but this one has a strawberry twist and is very yum yum!-- Anyhow I figured everyone would be so kind as to share their good recipes here and I can learn from all of you. I hope you can share something that is famous in your neck of the wood... this doesn't apply to britons I really got sick of the corn on everything during my stay in England :-[ eh just kidding-- not about the corn though... do share please no matter where from. thank you...
Anyhow here is my recipe and of course it is very very easy to make...it is fool proof!

Strawbery Mille Feuille Recipe
A delicious layered dessert. Puff pastry, cream, strawberries

410 g puff pastry (thawed)
500 g fresh strawberries
315 ml whipping cream
1-2 drop vanilla extract
2 tablespoons caster sugar
5 tablespoons red currant jelly

Preheat oven to 220C (425F).
Roll out pastry to a thin rectangle and cut into 3 even sections.
Place rectangles onto baking sheets and prick all over with a fork.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
When cold trim the edges with a very sharp knife. Reserve the trimmings.
Cut half of the strawberries in half and reserve for decorating the top.
Slice the remaining strawberries.
Whip the cream until stiff and stir through the sugar and vanilla. Fold in the sliced strawberries.
Place a pastry slice on a serving plate and spread with half of the cream mixture. Lay another slice on top and spread with the remaining cream. Place the third slice on top.
Put the redcurrant jelly and 2 Tblspn water in a small saucepan and heat gently until the jelly is liquid.
Brush the top pastry slice with some of the jelly and arrange the halved strawberries on top. Brush with the remaining jelly.
Crush the reserved pastry trimmings and press onto the sides of the slice with the blade of a knife.

et voila enjoy :phew

Pie Tee



Ingredients
Pie Tee Shells
100g plain flour
1 tbsp rice flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
190ml water

Filling
300g yam beans, shredded
50g carrots, shredded
2 tbsp dried prawns, finely chopped
2 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp chopped shallot

Seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar or to taste
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
Chilli sauce dip

Chilli sauce dip
3 red chillies
3 bird’s eye chillies
1 calamansi lime, seeds removed
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lime juice

Method
Pie Tee Shells
Put sifted flours into a small mixing bowl. Add egg and salt and pour in water gradually to make a smooth and runny batter. Strain the batter to remove any lumps. Leave aside to stand for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep saucepan. Heat the pie tee mould in the hot oil for 1–2 minutes. Remove the hot pie tee mould and dip into the batter.

Then dip the mould back into the hot oil and keep it there until pie tee is golden brown. Loosen the pie tee gradually until it slips away from the mould.

Remove the pie tee cases and drain well on absorbent paper towels. When cool, store in an airtight container to retain crispiness.

Filling
Heat oil in a wok and fry garlic, shallot and dried prawns until fragrant. Add yam beans, carrot and seasoning. Stir and cook, tossing the vegetables well until almost dry. Dish up and cool completely.

Serve pie tee shells with the filling topped with a little chilli sauce and some chopped spring onion.[/QUOTE]

This one is easy and healthy. But the problem is to buy the specific utensils to make the pie tee shells.
