DiSH 208 : SHEPHERD'S PIE

 SHePHeRD'S PiE


This evening, I am baking shepherd's pie.

This is a very simple dish to prepare.

Anybody can do it!

I'm gonna be using minced lamb and will be

adding macaroni pasta for a more filling dish.

Pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees Celcius or thereabouts.

 Ozonize the minced lamb to remove chemical residues.

 Here's the newly-ozonized minced meat free of harmful toxins. 

 1. Boil Pasta.

I'm using about a small cup of macaroni pastas.

 2. Boil Potatoes.

Boil potatoes in salted water.

When soft, mash with half a cup of fresh milk.

I am drizzling flax seed oil as an alternative to butter.

 3. Prepare Pie Filling.

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until fragrant.

Add minced lamb.

 Add 2 fresh tomatoes (chunks).

Add a small cup of mixed vegetables.

Add tomato paste (3 tbs).

Add Worcestershire sauce (2 tbs). 

Add thyme and rosemary herbs.

Add chicken granules (1 tsp).

Add seasalt and pepper.

Add a small cup of filtered water.

Simmer on medium heat until liquid is reduced.

 Add arrowroot powder (1 tbs) mixed with half a small cup of water.

When the contents have thickened, toss in pasta. Mix well.

Add chopped coriander leaves.

 Transfer pan contents onto oven dish.

 Cover the dish with the mashed potatoes.
Scatter cheese on top.
I should be using grated mozzarella or cheddar,
but I only had sandwich cheese. :D


Pop into the Oven ...

for about 20 minutes or so,
or until the cheese is nicely melted and the potatoes brown just a little.

 Garnish with cherry tomatoes and carrot - matchsticks.
Shake black pepper over for a bit of contrast.

A sprig of coriander leaves is always good too. :D
 A closer look ...
 Bon Appetite !!! :D


Absolutely Kindergarten ... :D

DiSH 206 : LAMB BRIYANI


 LAMB BRIYANI


This evening, I'm preparing lamb briyani. 


The kindergarten way. 

Yes, with the Pressure Cooker.


My magic pot. 

Bryan has bought a tray of Australian shoulder of lamb chops. 
I should chop the meat into smaller pieces but I'm not gonna bother with that. 

Let's just use them whole, shall we? :D


 Ozonize the lamb chops ...
Remove the yucky white substance that is 
floating on the surface of the water.

 The lamp chops are all clean and free of 
chemical-residues and ready to be cooked.

I'm gonna use 3 pieces.

 Ozonize the basmati rice too.



1. Saute Onions and Garlic 

in hot sesame seed oil until fragrant. 


Add mustard seeds. Add cumin seeds. 
Add a packet of ready-mix briyani powder.




2. Cook Lamb first ...

Add the lamb chops already seasond with some 
briyani powder, shoyu and pepper. 

Add 1 small cup of filtered water.

Close lid and wait for the magic pot to hisssssss. 

When it does, turn off the flame and allow the lamb to cook.

The red indicator will drop in about 15 minutes or so.

Open the lid (see photo above).



 3. Add Rice

Add cashew nuts.

Add 1 small cup of filtered water.


I'm cooking 3 cups of rice and would need 2 cups of water in total. 
The lamb and the pre-washed rice has water content.


Add a bunch of coriander leaves.

I'm adding a whole bunch so I can easily remove it later. 


My daughter prefers not to have bits and pieces of greens in her food.

When the red button drops, allow another 15 - 20 minutes 
for the rice to dry up a little, before opening the lid.


Now, open the lid ... Ta--dahhh ...

Fluff the rice up and serve immediately.

 Garnish with strips of red bell peppers and carrots 
and a sprig of coriander leaves.



Bon Appetite!!!



Oh Yum!
