Madhrooba!

Here is a delicious recipe for Madhrooba from "Emiratican Kitchen". I tried her recipe for this yesterday and it was delicious! Its very different from the way i make it normally and the ingredients are also a bit different, but no less tasty, and probably much healthier than mine because she uses Wheat seeds and mine uses rice.....This dish makes for a great Iftar treat!

Please "click" on the title Madhrooba to visit her site and recipe for this delcious dish!

Slow Roast Beef and Potato Salad

Slow Roast Beef

1 Beef Brisket (as many lbs as you like)

Seasonings you like!

BBQ Sauce

Season the meat with whatever you like! Let it marinade and soak up the seasonings overnight in the fridge. Bake covered completley by tin foil in a pan at 350F for around 5 hours.

Check it every hour, if it starts to brown, add water or little beef stock to the inside of the foil and close around meat. Shortly before done, put BBQ sauce over meat and close again till done!

Grilled Shrimp...Tuna and Egg Scramble

For the Grilled Shrimp:

Set up a BBQ for grilling the shrimp. DONT peel the shrimp, only slit them into halves at the back on the vein side. Rub any spices you like into them and toss to coat in a big bowl. Place shrimp on the grill with the slit sides down and cook then do the same for the other side to give them a grilled look. When done, place all of the shrimp in a big platter and slice lemons to squeeze over them OR serve with an assortment of sauces like sweet and sour chilli sauce, etc.

Tuna and Egg Scramble

Melt a small amount of butter in a skillet, when hot, add diced tomato and cook till soft, add tuna and 1 tsp cumin powder and cook till little browned then add to this 3 eggs and scramble till done. Add salt and serve with pita bread or on sliced bread. Enjoy!

You can expect to find some "interesting" recipes from now on as well as my rantings on pregnancy and how it affects me day to day...

Roast Chicken Sultana Style!

VERY SIMPLE!

Cut up all the kinds of veggies you want to roast. I used garlic heads,bell peppers,onions,tomato,potato,carrot,and zucchini.

Sprinkle over this any spices you like the tastes of. I used garlic salt and ras el hanout spices with salt and pepper.

Stuff the chicken with sliced onions and a garlic bulb and a half a lemon which you used for putting over the chicken.

Rub spices over the chicken and the juice of half of that lemon you used to stuff the chicken. Put it all in a pan like above and drizzle over this olive oil.

Roast in a moderatley hot oven for one hour and for crispier chicken put it closer to the heat source in the last 5-10 minutes. Then serve!
