Servings : Serves 4-6

Bukhari Rice (known in Arabic as Ruz al Bukhari) is a Saudi Arabian speciality (some say it is Afghani by origin). It is by far one of my favourite Arabic meals and is a fragrant flavourful rice dish normally served with roast chicken (Dajaj). I usually serve this dish with Salata Hara (a fresh and spicy tomato sauce), some chopped fresh salad and a small side of fried potato cubes (because we certainly love potatoes in my home!) 🙂

Ingredients for chicken marinade

1 chicken, skin removed and cut into 8-10 pieces - Marinate the chicken pieces for at least an hour or up to overnight in the ingredients below

1 tbsp. oil

1/2 tsp. garlic paste

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper powder

1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar

1 tsp. paprika powder (optional for some added colour)

Other Ingredients

3 cups basmati rice

3 cups water

2 onions, chopped

5 tbsp. oil

1/2 tsp. garlic paste

3 tbsp. tomato paste/puree

2 large tomatoes, pureed or chopped into cubes

1 chicken bouillon cube (like knorr or maggi but this is optional)

1 large carrot, cut into cubes

1 cinnamon stick

2 cloves

2 cardamom pods

1 tsp. cumin powder

1 tsp. coriander powder

1/2 tsp. turmeric powder

1/2 tsp. black pepper powder

pinch of cardamom powder

some raisins

2 tbsp. melted butter

Instructions

Wash and soak the rice for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, heat the oil in a pot, add the whole spices (cinnamon, cardamom and cloves). Then add the chopped onions and fry until transluscent. Do not brown them. Add the garlic and stir it in.

Next, add the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the powdered spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom and black pepper powders). Stir and allow the chicken to fry for a few minutes and get well coated with the spices until the chicken looks slightly golden.

Add the thick tomato paste/puree and the freshly pureed/chopped tomatoes and some salt. Add the bouillon cube if you are using it. Cook for another couple of minutes then add the water. Bring to a boil and then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover and allow the chicken to simmer gently in the water for 15 minutes.

Be sure to have the heat on low at this point if you want the chicken to be tender. High heat and a rolling boil will toughen the meat. Do not be tempted to simmer for longer than 15 minutes.

Once the 15 minutes are up, uncover and carefully remove the chicken pieces onto a baking tray or dish. Brush melted butter on the pieces of chicken and place the tray under a very hot grill for a few minutes to give a quick golden ‘roast chicken’ colour. If you do not have an oven, simply lightly fry the chicken pieces on a hot pan for some extra color. Do not overcook the chicken! When done, cover the chicken pieces and set aside.

Now, carefully measure the broth that you have left in the pot. I normally need 1 1/4 cups of broth/water for every cup of rice that I use. If the broth is less than what you need, add some extra water. If it is more, then remove the excess.

Add the carrot cubes into the broth and bring to a boil. Drain the soaked rice and add that in too, adjust salt.

Let the rice cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot and allow the rice to cook until water dimishes, giving it a stir every now and then to make sure all the rice is cooked evenly and perfectly.

When you find there is very little water left in the rice, reduce the heat to the lowest point possible. Place the roasted chicken pieces on top of the rice, then seal the pot tightly. Allow to steam for 10 minutes without uncovering.

If you like, you can fry some golden raisins in a teaspoon of butter until they plump-up and keep them ready to sprinkle over the dish when served.

Serve your fragrant Ruz Bukhari topped with lovely moist Dajaj, sprinkled with some raisins and the spicy Salata Hara for an authentic Arabic meal experience!!

Enjoy! 🙂

INGREDIENTS

3 cups pasta (I used Paccheri n° 125, similar to a bigger Rigatoni)

2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

6 garlic cloves, sliced

2 cups peeled and deveined raw shrimp

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp kosher salt per 1L water for cooking pasta

½ cup pasta water

¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and more for garnish

1 tbsp butter

1 bundle of chives or Italian parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the pasta al dente or 1 minute shy of cooking instructions.

Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain.

While the pasta is cooking, in a large pan, sauté the garlic on medium heat with olive oil.

Once the garlic has slightly softened, add the gochujang paste.

Lower the heat and cook the gochujang out to mellow some of the spice. The oil should turn into a beautiful red hue.

Add the cooked pasta and the pasta water. Simmer until the sauce has coagulated and starts sticking onto the pasta.

Add the shrimp and stir to combine.

Turn the heat to low, add parmesan and finish the pasta with butter. This helps the sauce stay glossy.

Optionally, finish with chives / Italian parsley / a little more olive oil. Plate. Garnish with more grated parmesan. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients

Serves: 8

300gwhole black urad daal

12ggarlic paste(roughly 4 cloves)

10gginger paste(roughly 1 heaped tablespoon)

70gtomato purée

8gfine sea salt

⅔ tspdeggi mirch chilli powder(or ⅓ tsp normal chilli powder)

⅓ tspgaram masala

90gunsalted butter

90mldouble cream

Method

If possible, soak 300g of urad daal in cold, salted water overnight. If you don’t have time to soak, pour the daal into a large bowl, cover with water and whisk for 10 seconds. Let the daal settle then pour out the water and repeat 3 or 4 times until the water runs clear.

Tip the daal into a large saucepan (I used a 6 litre pan) and pour in at least 4 litres of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 hours, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface of the water. Keep the grains well covered, topping up with more boiling water as needed.

Once the daal grains are soft, with the skins falling off and the white insides feeling creamy, not crumbly when you pinch a grain between your fingers, turn off the heat and let the pan sit for 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix 12g of garlic paste (roughly 4 cloves), 10g of ginger paste (roughly 1 heaped tablespoon), 70g of tomato purée, 8g of fine sea salt, ⅔ teaspoon of chilli powder and ⅓ teaspoon of garam masala into a paste.

Pour away the cooking water from the daal and top up with enough freshly boiled water to cover the daal by around 3-4cm. Bring to a boil then add the paste from the small bowl along with 90g of unsalted butter.

Cook on a medium to high heat for 30 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure that the daal doesn’t stick to the pan.

Turn the heat down low and simmer for 1-1½ hours, stirring as much as you can and adding more boiling water if the water level starts to reach the grains. The daal will eventually thicken and the original recipe advises that, “Creaminess must come from the grains disintegrating into the liquid and enriching it, not from the water being allowed to evaporate leaving only the grains behind”.

When the daal is thick and creamy, add 90ml of double cream and cook for another 15 minutes before transferring to bowls. Serve with naan or chapatis.

Yotam Ottolenghi's Raspberry Meringue Roulade Adapted from Plenty MoreServes 8-10

4 egg whites 1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon cornstarch 3.5 ounces/100 grams mascarpone 1 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting 1 3/4 cups/400 ml whipping cream 5 ounces/150 grams fresh raspberries

1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC/320ºF.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until they begin to firm up. Add the granulated sugar to the whisking whites in spoonfuls or tip into the bowl in a slow stream. Continue whisking until you achieve a firm, glossy meringue. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the vanilla extract, vinegar and cornstarch. Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment paper, making a 13x9.5-inch/33x24-cm rectangle.

3. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until a crust forms and the meringue is cooked through (it will still feel soft to the touch). Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan.

4. Unmold the cooled meringue on a fresh piece of parchment paper. Carefully peel off the first piece of parchment.

5. Place the mascarpone in a large mixing bowl along with the confectioners' sugar. Whisk to combine, then add the whipping cream. Whisk just until the cream starts to hold its shape. Don't overmix - you want a relatively loose whipped cream. Spread most of the mascarpone cream on top of the meringue, reserving a few tablespoons. Leave a small border around the edge of the meringue. Scatter most of the raspberries all over the cream

6. Use the paper to assist you in rolling up the meringue along its long edge, until you get a perfect log shape. Carefully transfer the log on to a serving dish. Use the remaining cream to create a rough wavy strip along the top of the log. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

7. When ready to serve, dust the log with confectioners' sugar and dot with the remaining raspberries.

Homemade Ramen Noodle Recipe

(adapted from Fine Cooking) 1 cup hot water 2 Tbs. kansui (see below on where to find kansui or how to make your own kansui) 1 tsp. salt 3-1/2 cups 00 flour or unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions

Stir together the hot water, kansui, and salt in a medium bowl until dissolved.

Put the flour into a stand mixer using the paddle attachment. Set your machine at level two and drizzle 3/4 cup of the kansui mixture. Scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate any dry flour. Continue mixing in the remainder of the water 1 teaspoon at a time. Switch to the dough hook and knead by machine for 3 minutes. Remove the dough and finish kneading by hand for 2 minutes.

Shape the dough into a smooth square, wrap in plastic, and let rest for at least 1 hour.

If using the KitchenAid Pasta-Extruder, divide the dough into pasta balls as the instructions suggest. If using the Kitchenaid Pasta Roller Attachment (or other pasta roller), divide dough into 5 squares. Pass each piece through the rollers, starting with setting 1 and working through to setting 5. Coat the dough sheets well with flour to prevent sticking, and then pass noodles through the thin-width cutters. Boil immediately for 2-3 minutes, or wrap well and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

[nomnomnom13]

Ingredients

300 grams Strip Steak (or any steak cut)

1 whole Onion

Steak Marinade

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

Few Big Pinches Salt

Few cracks Black Pepper

Few shakes Dried Parsley (optional)

1 Tablespoon Mirin

Fried Rice Sauce

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (For sautéing onions)

1.5 Tablespoons Gochujang Paste

½ Tablespoon Sesame Oil

Optional: Balsamic Glaze

Few drizzles Balsamic Glaze (Not Balsamic Dressing Sauce! )

InstructionsPrep Beef & Onion

Pat-down beef in a few paper towels - remove any moisture from the meat pieces.

Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Place into a mixing bowl. Marinate it with: Olive Oil (1 Tablespoon), Salt (few big pinches), Black Pepper (few big pinches), Mirin (1 Tablespoon), Dried Parsley (few shakes - optional).

Cut 1 whole onion into half pieces. Then finely dice each half into small pieces.

Make Fried Rice

Place frying pan on medium-low heat. Put in 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil. Once its hot, place in the chopped onions.

Stir-fry around the onions around until they turn translucent and it starts to turn golden - you'll smell the sweet smell of onion in the air. (Note: If the frying pan gets dry while you sauté, feel free to add in a few dashes more of the olive oil)

Once the onions start to slightly brown, add in 3 cups of cooked rice to the onions. Then add-in 1.5 Tablespoons of Gochujang.

Then thoroughly stir the rice and mix the gochujang paste into it - this may take a few minutes. (Check that the heat is at medium-low so you don't burn.)

[Note: If you're rice needs a little bit more gochujang - like us in the video - add in a ½ Tablespoon more]

Once the rice gets an even color, turn off the heat and place the frying pan to the side.

Pan-fry steak

Place a second frying pan on high heat. Once its hot, place-on the steak pieces.

Cook until you lose the red in the meat. Then turn off the heat - and set aside. Now back to the other frying pan.

Finish Fried Rice

Now, place the frying pan with the fried rice back on high heat.

Once its hot, add the steak pieces into the gochujang rice and get it well mixed in.

Now, give the rice a taste... and feel free to add-in a few pinches of salt (if slightly bland) and another ½ Tablespoon Gochujang (if you want more spice). It's up to you! We added in both.

Then finish the rice with ½ Tablespoon of Sesame Oil.

Optional: Drizzle on Balsamic Glaze

Drizzle some balsamic glaze over the gochujang fried rice.

Bon Appetit!
