Rice Pilaf

2009-02-02 05:15:10

Cook meat until liquids have dissolved. Add butter, onions and celery, cook until tender. Add liquids and spice, bring to boil and then add rice.

Cover, lower heat to a little higher than Lo. Rice should be done within 20 minutes. Remove cover, if you have a lot of liquid, place a tea towel over the pot and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve on a plate as a main dish, sprinkle lemon juice over. When I was a kid, I would pat down the rice flat on my plate and make a smile face.

Cabbage Pasta

2008-12-13 10:48:24

Shred cabbage very finely and remove water content by pressing within paper towels. Bring to boil in large pot 4 litres of water for the pasta (add about 2 tbsp of oil to reduce pasta sticking).

In a medium to large frypan, add 6 tbsp of cooking oil and heat (I usually place a small piece of the shredded cabbage in the oil and wait for it to start turning brown to know I have the correct heat), carefully place the shredded cabbage into the frypan and stir with a wooden or plastic spoon until uniformly combined with oil (watch out for spitting!), add garlic, salt, pepper and sugar and stir together well.

Fry cabbage until it begins to brown (you may need to add more oil to prevent the cabbage drying out), by now your pasta water is boiling and you can add both of the lasagne pasta pkts, stir immediately to prevent stick together and cook till al dente or just starting to soften. Cabbage should have a sweet and sour flavour with a peppery aftertaste.

Drain pasta and put back into the pot, when cabbage is translucent brown, add to pasta and stir in. This dish can be an inexpensive meal in itself or as a side dish for meat, sausage dishes or vegetarian meals.
