Back-to-school : Congo Bar + Aglio Olio

Assalamualaikum.

Back to school. Mothers are always busy. Preparing what can brought back with the kids to their hostel. In my case, I asked the kids in a very much advance. So that I could prepare the ingredients, and prepare myself for the labor work (ouch!!!) mentally and physically.

And this time, the kids opted to have Aglio Olio (perhaps because they only had a small portion the last time I made it) and Congor Bar. Atikah requested for the congo bar and Sabrina requested for the Aglio Olio. But I'm making it extra so that many more could share the feast.



The congo bar recipe is simple. Atikah can now make it with very tiny supervision. The recipe is here. 

For the Aglio Olio, it uses plenty of garlic (thats how I like it).  For this, I get Sabrina to sit almost like the whole morning peeling the garlic.

The recipe goes :

2 handful garlics - peeled, chopped
2 stalks parsley (I added some celery as well)
prawn and squid
Chilli flakes
salt to taste                       
3 tbsp olive oil

1. Fry the gralic till fragrant. Add the prawns and squids. Add parsley and celery.
2. Add the pasta.
3. Season with salt, and chilli flakes. (You may add some plain water or stocks to add moisture to your liking). Mix well.
4. And it's done.

Fast and tasty. Alhamdulillah

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk.  Dicuci bersih.  Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih.  2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit.
