(1) Focacia and (2) Harira : the Noxxa way

Assalamualaikum,,

A friend of mine was telling about a book that she read, "A day in Prophet Muhammad SAW life". In the book mentioned about Aisya RA prepared Harira for their meals. The name of it sounds interesting that made me start getting more information. My Google just the right place to get this kind of information.

Harira is a Morroccan soup. It's filling, and from the recipe I found that it is healthy as well. Morroccan used to prepare this and eat it for the iftar (break the fast) in the month of Ramadhan.

These are the ingredients:
2 tomato - blended
1 onion - diced
A handful of  parsley and coriander - chopped
1 celery stalk - diced
Salt, pepper, ginger powder (I used the fresh ginger) - to your taste
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cups plain water
1 tbsp butter
A handful of vermicelli - broken to about 1 inch
A bowl of chickpeas/ lentils - pre-boiled

1 tbsp multipurpose flour
1/2 cup plain water

The Noxxa way:
  1. Set the Noxxa Pressure Cooker (NPC) to Stir Fry (SF).
  2. Put the butter in the heated pot.
  3. Add onion. Fry till slightly tender.
  4. Add parsley, coriander and celery. Mix well.
  5. Add the blended tomato.
  6. Add in the salt, pepper, ginger. Mix well and later add water.
  7. Turn off the SF. Set the NPC to pressure for 25minutes.
  8. After 25 minutes. Remove the steam by turning the know to steam.
  9. Open the lid. Add in the chickpeas/ lentils/ vermicelli.
  10. Add the flour mixture. Stir well.
  11. If you need to make it thicker. Set the NPC to SF and cook till to correct consistency.
Ready for serving.

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...

Asam Pedas Keladi

'Asam Pedas Keladi' or 'Spicy & Sour Yam Soup' is one of our favourite. Atikah likes it most. It's a kind of traditional dish and can be categorized as vegetables. We can eat both it's rhizome and it's stalk. The rhizome is delicious to be made into 'pengat' - a dessert which consist of coconut milk and sugar as the sauce and the rhizome that has been boiled. Or you can also have a fritter out of the rhizome. For the stalk, we can turn it into a spicy soup. But! be careful with the resin. It might ruin your clothes if in contact. A search in the internet found me with this interesting health facts about yam. Yams provide a very good source of potassium and fiber. They also offer a good source of vitamins B1, B6 and C. In addition, yams are a good source of manganese and carbohydrates. They contain large amounts of B6, which required by the liver, and also contain folic acid and other B vitamins which help to detoxify excess estrogen. This action ...

Cheese Cake

Tak sangka sungguh nak buat cheese cake ni. It came from K.Yan. She was telling how Sarah made cheese cake at Mak Long's house, and it excites me. I decided to make one. Luckily, hubby is so supportive to assist me in finding the ingredients (even though he doesnt like cheese). The ingredient: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Digestive Biscuit (for the base) Butter (leave at room temperature) 2 eggs Whipping cream Evaporated Milk to taste. (no exact measurement was given, as k.yan practically taste it before baking ;-)) Steps: 1. Blend the biscuits into crumbs. 2. Mix it with butter. Just enough butter is required to wet the biscuit. 3. Press onto a baking tray to form a base for the cheese cake. 4. Whip the cream cheese in the mixer till doubled. 5. Add whip cream, evaporated milk and eggs. 6. Pour onto the base. Bake in the oven. But .... as my microwave was malfunctioning, we opt to steam it and the result was superb and in fact better (according to kak yan la ...).
