[color=#000099]Ok, I made this really good sauce the other day so I thought hey, why not join the bandwagon. This is also in Amaka's thread but I thought I might use this to start a new thread, to include tasty non-nigerian food!
Name of food : Pasta with Bolognese sauce (Ezzy style)
Ingredients Pasta/ Spaghetti Minced meat (Preferably beef) 1 can Tinned tomatoes (Not puree) or fresh ones if you like it fresh.(Please blend) 1 chilli pepper Thyme Garlic Salt Maggi or Knorr Vegetables : Sweetcorn, Peas, Broccoli, diced carrots,sliced cabbage and any otehr vegetables that catch your fancy Salt Coking oil Lots of sliced onions
Method: Defrost the mince in a pan and simmer When the mince is fully defrosted, salt,garlic and a LOT of sliced onions (perhaps a whole small sized one) and season to taste
In a separate pan, put some cooking oil and 'fry' some more sliced onions Add your tinned tomatoes/blended fresh tomatoes Add thyme, garlic and other seasonings according to your taste Pour in the mince and everything that comes with it into the tomatoes
In separate pan/wok stir-fry your vegatables. I.e put 1 tbspoon of oil in and keep stirring the vegetables as they fry
After 3 mins, pour in the tomatoes/beef mince and stir properly. Leave to simmer together for about 3 mins
(Hope you were boiling the pasta in a separate pan all the while!. If you weren't, then boil pasta and sseason with salt in a separate pan)
As you wll see in the second picture, the pasta is hardly off the cooker before it is devoured greedily by housemates. Therfore if you have housemate, please use some odour neutralising spray outside the kitchen as everyone soon flocks to the kitchen (too keep you company as they just realised you've been lonely etc) and the food is devoured even before it comes off the cooker!
Hint: Make limited pasta so anyone who wants more will have to get up and go and cook some pasta themselves! *evil laugh*
I apologise or the poor quality of my pictures, Phone not a good x-ray!
I like spaghetti better and i eat that every week, that's one of the food i can't live without. I even have a mince maker. You just fall in love with that food.
