<br />
Goes lovely wid polao + salads + coke :-)<br />
<br />
3 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds<br />
3 potato cut into cubes<br />
1 big onion, peeled and cut into rings<br />
1 small onion, grated<br />
6 cloves garlic, grated<br />
3-4 cloves garlic halved<br />
1 tsp ginger grated<br />
1 kg whole chicken (this one was 1.6 kg's)<br />
1 tbsp salt<br />
1 tsp turmeric powder<br />
1 tsp corrainder powder<br />
1tbsp sweet n sour thai sauce<br />
1tsp garam masala<br />
1tsp chilli powder (also kashmiri/paprika/etc for colour)<br />
1 lemon, halved<br />
2 tablespoons olive oil<br />
2 tablespoons unsalted butter<br />
<br />
clean the chiken well. cut 1cm slices into the breast pieces , thighs, drumsticks. skinless preffered. i kept the skin only on the drumsticks, becomes crispy and looks good too.<br />
<br />
marination: sprinkle salt, turmeric, corrainder, garam masala, chilli, ginger, garlic, onion paste, olive oil, sweet-sour thai sauce, lemon juice, and mix well to coat. (sometiems chiken tikka masala can also give the red colour to the roast) cover and let it marinate in the fridge for 35mins.<br />
<br />
preheat the oven 5-10 mins at 250 degree C.<br />
cover the oven tray with aluminium foil, oil the top surface fo the foil minimally, place the marinated chicken in the middle. place the carrots potatos onion rings halved garlic all around the chicken. a few of the garlic can be put in between the chicken slices and folds.<br />
(idea: once i had stuffed the chiken hollow with cooked basmati rice before putting it into the oven)<br />
<br />
put it in the oven. check after 20 mins. turn the side with 2 spoons/fork.u can also turn the potatos so that the other side also gets crunchy. check again after 15 mins. take it out when u think the chicken luks brown and crunchy enough to ur fancy!<br />
take off the chicken and wrap it in a lavash bread.<br />
(usually it takes max.35mins.after 40 mins the chicken could very dry,in which case u cud eith oil the top later with a brush, or srinkle lemon,etc). <br />
dig in ! ;-)<br />
COKE! lavash bread!<br />

Perfect for those hot summer days we left behind us about a week ago here ;-)<br />
<br />
Pasta of your choice<br />
Cucumber<br />
Leek or onion - you can boil the onions for a few minutes if you want them sweeter<br />
Tomatoes<br />
Bell pepper/chili pepper<br />
Peas<br />
Kidney beans/chick peas or whatever else you like<br />
I usually add meat - pre-cooked chicken in small pieces or mortadella like in the pic<br />
Olive oil<br />
Lemon juice/white vinegar<br />
garlic, crushed or finely chopped<br />
Salt, pepper<br />
Dried mint, if desired<br />
<br />
Boil pasta, drain and cool. Prepare the other ingredients. Place everything in a bowl, add dressing and mix well. Let stand for a while for flavour to develop. This should last a few days in the fridge as long as you don't add lettuce or other vegetables that wilt easily.<br />ISLAMIC COOKING RECIPEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11318108434546064969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095165578286812258.post-51984837036130215692009-09-23T20:05:00.003+02:002009-09-23T20:06:10.166+02:00STUFFED CHILI PEPPER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Chili peppers, preferrably not too small as they won't hold much!<br />
Minced/ground meat<br />
Cooked yellow lentils (or exclude these and just use meat)<br />
Chopped onion<br />
Finely chopped garlic<br />
Tomato paste<br />
Grated cheese<br />
Salt, pepper<br />
Harissa or hot sauce, if desired<br />
Cumin<br />
<br />
Set oven to 225 degrees Celsius. Fry minced/ground meat. Add onions and garlic. Add tomato paste (and harissa or hot sauce if desired) and a little water. Season and let simmer until some of the liquid has reduced. Let cool. Meanwhile, wash peppers, cut of stems and cut them open. Use cold water and be careful not to touch your eyes. When the meat mixture has cooled down a bit, mix with cheese and adjust seasoning. Stuff peppers and place in a greased, ovenproof pan. Place in middle of oven for about 20 minutes. Serve with for instance rice and a salad.<br />ISLAMIC COOKING RECIPEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11318108434546064969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095165578286812258.post-12505142857081813602009-09-23T20:04:00.000+02:002009-09-23T20:04:35.172+02:00CHICKEN COOKED IN A CLAY POT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1 chicken<br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
1 clove garlic, finely chopped<br />
1/2 courgette, sliced<br />
Fresh herbs - I used some from my window box; rosemary, lemon thyme and curry herb (it's actually called that)<br />
Lemon juice<br />
Salt, pepper<br />
<br />
Soak clay pot for 8-10 minutes if it's been used before, 8-10 hours if it's the first time. Place all ingredients except chicken in a bowl and mix well. Pat chicken dry and stuff with this mixture, adding a little extra salt. Try to put some under the skin too, adding a little oil or butter. Close chicken using tooth picks. Place veg mix on bottom of pot, place chicken on top and add some water. Place in cold oven and set oven to 225 degrees Celsius. Cook for about 1,5 hours. Turn chicken over once wile cooking. Remove lid toards end if you want more colour. <br />
<br />
If you don't have a clay pot, you can of course cook this in a large pot in oven or on stove. Cooking time will be shorter. One of the advantages to cooking in a clay pot though is that it keeps moisture in very well. If you have a large enough pot you can toss some potatoes in as well, otherwise you can cook some on stovetop, perhaps adding some turmeric for extra colour.<br />ISLAMIC COOKING RECIPEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11318108434546064969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095165578286812258.post-29959502003869708882009-09-23T20:02:00.003+02:002009-09-23T20:02:53.257+02:00KULFA - ZAYNAB'S FAVORITE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1 whole fish with firm, white flesh - in this pic I used a tilapia<br />
herbs<br />
lemon<br />
oil<br />
salt, pepper<br />
<br />
Set oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Clean fish and rinse in cold water, pat dry. Smear with a little oil inside, and add fresh herbs to taste - I used rosemary and lemon thyme from my window box - and a few slices of lemon. Add salt and pepper. Smear lightly with oil on outside and place on a rack, if you wish you can place it on top of a tray with quartered potatoes, onions and vegetables to taste. You might need to let those roast for a while at higher temperature before adding the fish to make sure they are all done at the same time. Cook fish until done, perhaps 30 minutes or more if needed.

This recipe was basically worked out by my husband but I do it a little bit differently so here's my version.<br />
<br />
6 deciliters tepid water<br />
25 grams yeast<br />
12-14 deciliters plain flour<br />
1 egg<br />
Salt<br />
Turmeric<br />
Harissa - or copped chillies, onions, olives... or whatever you like.<br />
<br />
Dissolve yeast in water. Add most of the flour. Add salt, turmeric, harissa or what you want. Add the egg and the rest of the flour. Mix until a nice dough is formed, it should be a little sticky. Sprinkle with a little flour and cover with cling film and a towel. Let rest for 45 minutes. Knead well and form 8 patties or if you wish, 2 loaves (lower temperature a bit and bake for about 30 minutes if you do this). We don't use a rolling pin when forming the bread but you can of course do this if you wish. Place on trays covered with baking sheets. Cut a pattern if you wis, make sure to use a sharp knife and cut deep enough for the pattern not to disappear during proving. Cover with towel and let prove for about 30 minutes. Set oven to 250 degrees Celsius. After baking for about 10 minutes or when the bread starts to turn brown, lower temperature to 225 degrees - or just bake at 225 degrees if you are not as fond of brown bread as my husband is. Bake in total about 20-25 minutes, let cool on rack, covered with a towel.<br />ISLAMIC COOKING RECIPEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11318108434546064969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095165578286812258.post-72113190581975390582009-09-23T19:54:00.003+02:002009-09-23T19:55:26.169+02:00QUICK BREAKFAST BUNS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5 deciliters plain flour 1 tablespoon baking powder<br />
3 deciliters sour milk - I haven't tried, but I suppose you could substitute plain youghurt, not too thick<br />
2 tablespoons treacle<br />
Salt<br />
Grated carrots, if desired<br />
<br />
Set oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add treacle (one tip when adding sticky ingredients: Press a tablespoon inte the flour so you get a dent that holds in this case one tablespoon, then pour the sticky ingredient into the dent. Saves you dishes and also you make sure you actually add it all) and sour milk.Add carrots, if desired. Form a dough - it will be sticky! Form 12 buns and place them on a tray covered with a baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven for about 10-15 minutes. Let cool on rack, covered with a towel.

<br />
For Syrup: <br />
2 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp granulated sugar <br />
2 + 1/2 cup water <br />
Juice of 1/2 lemon<br />
<br />
# Boil 2 cup sugar with 2 cup + 1 tbsp water, then add lemon juice, boil for 5 minutes together and wait for cooling down. <br />
# While it cools down prepare the dough. <br />
# Mix the sugar and eggs by a blender. <br />
# At first add yogurt and oil, then flour, baking powder, semolina, grated lemon shell, and mix. <br />
# Pour the mixture on a oven tray which you greased too much. <br />
# Bake for 25 minutes in 175 C (F 347) oven. <br />

idea: <br />
-You could always add raisins, almonds etc in the dough!<br />
-sprinkle shreded coconut over the top of the cake once baked<br />
