stuffed cabbage

so this is one of my most favorite dishes , being Irish i love cabbage and to join it with garlic makes all the difference

 

this dish can be made two ways , it can be made in a white sauce were you use onion or a red sauce were you use garlic ... tonight i made the red sauce

 

ingredients

 

1 head of cabbage

mince meat

garlic

small amount of rice

chickpeas

peper, salt, cumin, carwia

2 eggs

a little flour

tomato puree

 

method

 

so i take the leaves of the cabbage one by one and place them into a pot of hot water to soften them a little

while they are being soften i put the garlic and some oil in a pot i used my pressure cooker and fry on a small flame then add spices and chickpeas

add some water and continue to cook i closed my pressure cooker and cook it for about 20 mins

while this is being done i took the leaves from the water a left them to cool while i made the mince mixture

which is mince, a handful of rice , 1 egg , and a pinch of each of the spices and mix well

then i laid out one of the cabbage leaves and placed a little of the mixture in the middle like this



the place all sides over the mixture and make into a ball and while doing this you can squeeze out the excess water , then place on a plate till you have all of the leaves done... dont worry if some of the leaves have torn and you think you cant make it ... just add another leaf over it and bring the two together

 



 

so at this stage place the other egg in a dish and mix then in another dish put some flour ... dip the ball into the flour and then the egg and put on a dish when finished fry in a little oil till they have become a little brown

 



i forgot to mention that you might have a little of the mince mixture over so just make balls with it and do the same as the cabbage

 

at this stage your chick peas should be cooked place the cabbage into the pot and close the lid and cook for another 20 /30 mins also add the tomato puree

when every thing is finishe it should look like this

 



now all thats left to do is enjoy... we surely did

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out

Pocasi/ split green pea soup

Asalamu alikum Well it sure has been a long time since i posted so i thought let me share this Pocasi recipe with you while i remember This soup is made from split green peas first i wash the peas and then add them to my pot (i used a pressure cooker) i added onion ... garlic..... i diced up carrots ...courgettes...and potato into  really small bits and added to the pot i also added black pepper....salt ...cumin...and razel hanut.... fill with water and placed lid on  and allowed to cook about 30 to 40 mins in total ... then let the pressure out and open then  stir.... if you need more water add and allow to cook towards the end add some tomato puree and allow to thicken up a little .... when i make this i do not use oil and i should say that this type of soup will continue to thicken and even the next day you will need to add more water to thin out ... but masha`allah is a really nice soup
