A simple lunch idea beef stew, rice with curry and a cabbage curry 🤤

30/10/2023

Another easy dinner or lunch I dea to try ☺️ beef stew, steamed butternut and rice

Ingredients
Beef fillet
Zucchini x2
Carrots x4
1 large onion
2 large tomatoes
Barbecue sauce ( used wellingtons steakhouse)
Green pepper x 1 depending on the size
3 garlic cloves

Spices

Rajah mild
Barbecue spice (hinds)
Steak and chops
Mixed herbs

Wash the meat and let the water drip off using a colander. Chop it to your preferred size (I did small cubes as they cook faster). Add some oil to the pan (preferably non stick), add then beef and let it fry for 6 minutes. Add a little water(quarter cup) for it to be a bit more tender. Once the water is done add your spices and garlic and let us simmer for 3 minutes. Depending on your salt tolerance you can add a pinch. Add your Tomato and onions and peppers and the vegetables and stir through then leave to simmer for 10 minutes ( to allow everything to cook). When the tomatoes and vegetables look cooked, add the sauces of your preference, with a bit of water if you need more gravy, then let it simmer for 5 more minutes. Enjoy
P.S I used fillet because it’s tender.

Vegetable tip:

If you want to get the most out of your vegetables steam them and don’t overcook them. If you choose to boil them at least make sure it’s under five minutes. You can add some salt and oil to taste and you can serve with grilled chicken or T-bone if you like 😊

Do you like a coleslaw but you are tired of having it the same way? Try this way or surprise your family with it.

INGREDIENTS:

Cabbage
Bell peppers
Sweet corn
Onion preferably red
Raisins

For the salad dresser:

Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper

METHOD:

Remove the corn from the cob by slicing it with a knife or buy already sliced corn. Please note it’s sweet corn not the regular maize. Once that’s done boil it( if it’s not the processed one) for 10 minutes then drain the water and let it cool.
Slice your cabbage ( I used half of a medium head). Put it in a bowl and add the sweet corn. Rinse your peppers (red,green and yellow) and onion and dice them into cubes. Add them to the bowl then add raisins.

For the dresser:
In a separate bowl mix on the ingredients to make the dresser. Mix well and when ready add it into the sale and mix well then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Enjoy 😊

I love homemade buns and I have tried a lot of recipes to get here but here is one that I love:

1 tbsp sugar 10g
2 tsp active dry yeast 6g
1 cup milk 237ml (please use warm milk)
½ cup butter (110g) I used Shoprite’s rite brand margarine
1 large egg
3½ cup all purpose flour (437g)
¼ cup sugar (50g)
1 tsp salt (5g)
2 tbsp oil for bowl
Eggwash
1 egg and 1 tbsp milk

Melt the butter and pour it in a bowl or basin. Add warm milk and yeast and sugar then mix and let it rest for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. Once done break the egg into the mixture and add salt and oil then mix and begin to add flour until the batter is mixed and forms the dough. Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rise for 40 minutes or to your satisfaction.

Once they have risen or doubled the size make the egg wash and brush the buns.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 18-20 minutes or until lightly brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven specifications. I normally use the bottom rail and only turn on the top when they are almost ready.

Enjoy and leave a comment if you like the receipe ☺️

Easy Quick Dessert:

INGREDIENTS:

Assorted fruits I used nectarines, grapes, blueberries and strawberries
heavy cream (I used clover 2 pints of 200g)
Condensed milk 385 to 395 mls
Chocolate (I used Cadbury milk chocolate)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

METHOD:

In a pot add 1 pint (200g) of cream, break an egg into the pot, add condensed milk and vanilla essence. Cook at medium high heat and once it starts to bubble up or boil take it off and put aside to cool.

Wash your fruits and cut them into smaller pieces and add them to a bowl or Pyrex dish ( in the picture) and mix the fruits then pour the mixture of condensed milk and cream that was put aside to cool. It should look like the picture below.

In a separate bowl melt the chocolate and once melted add the other 200g of cream and stir until evenly mixed. Pour it on top of the fruits and it should give you a layer like that one in the picture. Once done refrigerate for 3-4 hours then serve.

Let me know your feedback once you have tried this recipe.

Note that the fruits in the picture have a bit of a sour taste and I selected them to balance off the sweet taste from condensed milk and chocolate.

Enjoy 😊

Ingredients:

10 drumsticks
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Hinds chicken Spice
2 Chili peppers 🌶️
5 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 Tablespoon garlic sauce
1 Tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
4 tablespoons honey

In a bowl or basin place the drumsticks and add the chili pepper and garlic,chicken spice,garlic sauce,black pepper,soy sauce,vinegar,oil and salt if you want it a little bit more salty. Mix them together and massage the marinade Into the chicken. Cover the bowl or basin with cling wrap and let it sit for 2-4 hours to allow it marinate well.

In a pan (preferably non stick) add 5 tablespoons oil heat at medium high temperature and using a tong or fork, place the drumsticks on the pan and allow them to fry till golden brown while turning the chicken pieces every five minutes. Drain the excess oil if any after some time.

Place the pan back and allow them to cook a bit more and add the honey and a bit of water (if you think they are not yet fully cooked) and let it cook a bit more. Do not let the sauce drain completely if you want a bit more in the chicken. Be careful not to burn especially after the honey is added.

Your chicken is ready and you can serve with rice, a potato salad, green salad or potato wedges.
