Let's swab food RECIPES!!

[Ariadne]

I have substituted my cereal breakfast for this and it gives me the carbs and protein I need for the day. So if you ever want a change from conventional western breakfast try this.

 

soupy rice with egg and cucumber salad

 

2 eggs

half a chopped cucumber

half a tomato

long grain white rice ( you could also use sticky and sushi rice)

soup broth

 

boil 3 and a half cups water with two cups of rice. After coming to a boil simmer for 20 mins.

When the rice swallows up the water add the broth to it by ladles (two ladles at a time).

when the rice is very soft and mushy and tastes kinda brothy.

 

Take the two eggs and scramble them fry on the oven for 10 mins while constantly stirring. Add sea salt (just enough to make your heart stop) and pepper for flavouring.

 

 

Scoup out one ladle of wram broth into a bowl. add the rice. Then add the scrambled egg. then chop the cucumber and tomatoe and add over the soupy rice.

 

and bon apetit

[Ariadne]

a good broth is a good foundation for a lot of cooking so here is one of my favourite borths for the winter...but could be used in summer soups as well.

 

potato beel broth

 

6 medium to large potatoes

2 small celerey stalks or 1 large one

6 carrots

1 bay leaf

6 qaurts water

sea salt

pepper

basil

1 large onion

 

Peel potatoes and add the peel to a large soup pot. Add 6 quarts of water. chop up the large onion and add to potato peels. Chop up celery and carrots and add to soup pot.

add one bay leaf and simmer for 2 hours.

On a smaller pot add teaspoon sea salt to the six large peeled potatoes and boil until soft and mushy.

Mash the potatoes and add to the broth to give it a thicker texture.

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

And a pinch of basil to bring out natural vegetable flavours.

simmer on the stove over low heat for 2 more hours and you now have a basice broth to add to soups or stir frys.

SA,

 

Here is my recipe for KIMMIS, SUBAAYAD, JABAATI or JABATIS whatever u call it.

 

Ingredients

500g all purpose flour

2 cups of water u must add water gradually and avoid too loose dough.

pinch of salt

1 egg(optional

a little sugar

 

Method

 

Pour the flour in to a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix well, use all ur strenghs i prefer my hands rather than flour mixers

let it lay for about 3 hrs note the more it lays the softer it gets.

after 3 or u can opt for 1 or 2 hrs instead, devide the dough in to small 2cm cubes and spread each cube in to a small Kibbis, apply oil and fold it to its orignal shape, cover them with plasic paper and leave it for another 30 minutes, finally heat ur bir canjeero or frying pan and splash little oil, spread the jabatis one by one and cook from both sides turning it regularly using oil as little as possible to reduce fat contents. u must store the cooked jabatis in a tightly closed container.

 

Goes so well with chicken, meat or fish stew and digir also.

 

u can sometimes apply honey and grab a cup of hot shaah. waa quraac fiican.

 

that is my way i hope u will like it
