Nasi Goreng, Cywr style (Serves 1-2)

Pre-cooked rice (preferably left in the fridge over night)
1 chicken breast
2 frankfurters
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon of light soy sauce
1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup
Some chinese cooking wine
some sesame oil
1 teaspoon of corn starch
additional oil for cooking
For the paste:
1/2 teaspoon of garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon of ginger paste
1/2 teaspoon of galanga paste
1/2 teaspoon of sambal ulek
1/2 teaspoon of shrimp paste
1/2 teaspoon of ground corriander
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
A pinch of tumeric


Slice chicken into thin strips, and mix in a bowl with the chinese cooking wine (about 2-3 teaspoons should do the trick) and a dash of sesame oil and the corn starch. Set aside to marinade for a while.

Put  the egg in a seperate bowl, add a dash of sesame oil and salt and pepper to taste, then beat the crap out of it. Fry as an omlete, then set aside to cool, and slice into thin strips.

Chop up frankfurters.

Combine paste ingredients and mix into a paste, if it looks too thick and doesn't mix that well, add a drizzle of oil.

Heat oil in a wok, and add paste, cook untill fragrent, then add the chicken, stiring for about a minute untill its sealed, then add the choped frankfurters and stir fry for 3 mins. Then add the rice followed by the soy sauce and stir fry for another 3 mins. Turn off the heat and add the choped up omlette and ketchup.
Serve with a drizzle of ketjap manis on top, and a side helping of kru poek (real Indonesian prawn crackers, acept no alternative).

Eating it now, yummy.
Now your turn.

Arrrgh!!"

Arroz con Pollo(a la chorrera)(Serves 6)
Chicken & Rice (a la wet style)

Ingredients:
1 chicken (3 lbs.)
2/3 cups olive oil
1/2 onions
1 sprig parsley
1 green pepper
2 cloves garlic
12 small tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup dry wine
2 tbs. salt (approx.)
1/2 tsp. saffron
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. rice
1 can red peppers
1 small petit pois
1 small can asparagus

Preparation:

Cut chicken into eight pieces and brown in hot oil. Remove chicken and saute the onion, parsley, garlic, green pepper in the same oil. Return the chicken to a pan adding the broth, and boil until chicken begins to soften. Add the wine, salt, saffron, cumin, half the red peppers, the water from the red peppers and the petit pois.   Bring to a boil and add the rice. Cook over low heat or in a 400F oven for 30 minutes. While cooking, add small portions of water, as needed, so that the rice does not dry up. When done, place on serving dish and garnish with asparagus and red pepper strips.

I sometimes substitute the "1 cup of wine" for "1 can of beer" for better taste and texture. Yummy, yummy!!!!

I made this recipe for a super bowl party I attended this past weekend and it was a hit! For spicier taste, add more chilli powder!

HOMEMADE CHILLI -

Ingredients 1lb (440g) minced beef
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 x 170g tin of tomato puree
1 x 14oz (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
1 x 14oz (400g) tin red kidney beans,drained and washed
1 heaped tablespoon of flour
1/4 pint beef stock
1 large sweet pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 heaped teaspoon of CHILLI POWDER
Salt and Pepper to season
1 teaspoon dried Mixed Herbs
A little oil or beef dripping (enough to cover the bottom of the casserole)

Use a flameproof casserole

Method:
1. Place the oil or beef dripping into the casserole and heat it gently on the hob. Switch on oven and set to 150C.
2. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until starting to brown.
3. Turn the heat up and add the meat, brown it well, stirring constantly to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the casserole.
4. Sprinkle in the flour, mixed herbs, salt and pepper and chilli powder. Stir Well.
5. Add the tomato puree, stock, tin of tomatoes, kidney beans and chopped pepper. Stir Well.
6. Put the lid on the casserole, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours at 150C.

Traditionally served with rice, but we like it with pasta! Bon appetit!

onions chopped (half )
garlic powder (just make a good guess)
Sea salt
Lemon pepper
boil for a few minutes in beer - micro brew Moose Drool brand
add minute rice (guess)
cook a minute then bring down to simmer.
then add two eggs stirred briskly with lemon juice and let it simmer for about 10 minutos
add Greek extra virgin olive oil
add to soup bowl- open a moose drool and partake!!!
I thought about adding Feta cheese to see what it is like!!

    Bah!

    Uitsmijter (Dutch style fried egg on bread/toast)

    Toast a slice of bread, and let it cool, then butter it with butter, then spread a layer of mustard on top. Then put a slice of cooked ham*1 on top of that.
    Fry the egg in a little butter and as the white starts to solidify, grind some pepper on top. Towards the end (cook the egg as much as is your preference) put some sliced or grated cheese*2 on top and let it melt, then put on top of your bread-ham thingy and eat away.

    You could add soem sliced tomatoes in there for a healthier option.

    *1 Bacon works as well, either of the two as the cheese-ham/bacon combo works so well.
    For some people ham is highly undesirable, so i'd suggest trying slived beef. Chicken really is too tasteless for a cheese/egg affair, though i guess a well seasoned roast chicken could work.
    Alternativly there is 'Turkeyham' (fake ham made from turkey), but me, i don't trust that benard Mathews guy.

    *2 Oude gouda is the ultimate, and a spiced varient if you can get it, but any cheese good for melting works.

    Generic Shoarma Mix:

    1 tablespoon of ground cumin
    1 tablespoon of ground corriander
    1 tablespoon of garlic powder
    1/2 tablespoon of paprika
    1 teaspoon of ground tumeric
    1 teaspoon of ground ginger
    1 teaspoon of round black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon of grounf cinnamon

    This makes enough to fill up your typical supermarket sized spice jar, so so its something you can make and have ready. Idealy use whole cumin and corriander seeds, and black pepper, dry fry them in a pan for 5 minutes, and then ground them, better flavour.
    Everything else should just be preground stuff for the right balence of flavour.

    Alternative, Indian style, enough for half a kilo of meat:

    1 teaspoon of freshly ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon of freshly crushed black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon of tumeric powder
    1/2 teaspoon of garam masala
    4 cloves of crushed garlic
    2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger
    a few chillies (how much depends on how much you like the heat), or some sambal ulek or any other decent chili paste
    1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

    Mix those ingredients together to form a paste. That simple. You can keep it in the fridge for upto a week, so you prepare the paste and marinade the meat in advance for extra yummness.

    In both cases, lamb is ideal but chicken or pork works too.
    Mince or meat cut into thin strips, and fried in a non-stick pan to reduce the need to add oil (lamb is naturaly quite fatty, so you might want to drain a bit as you go along). Mince could also be made into patties or even shaped arounda skewer and grilled (which would virtualy be the real thing).
    Oh yes, and before you add the seasoning to the meat, squeeze the juice of half a lemon on it and leave it for a while, you could add the juice of the other half towards the end of the cooking for extra zest.
    Serve with some bread, pocket pittas, fajitas, parathas, or flat Greek bread if you can get it, and some sauce.
    If making patties or shaped mince on a skewer, you could add some freshly shoped corriander to the meat mix.

    This is really easy to make, so don't be put off by the seemingly long list of ingredients, and it the sort of thing you could prapare in stages, with a day inbetween, for the extremely lazy

    For pasties, use mince cooked in a pan, and wrap in pastry (shortcrust is my preference, but any will do), and bake in the oven. If you used Chinese wonton (sp?) pastry, you could make shoarma spring rolls and deep fry them for 2-3 minutes.
    You could also add extra bits of cooked vegetable, boiled potato, freshly choped corriander etc.
    Piss easy.

    Yeah, specifics can vary, chicken and prawn is the standard in Indonesian resturants in the Netherlands, and then there is Balinese style which uses pork, and then some seafood styles (i've seen it done with mussels), and obviously you add vegetables, which i tend to leave out, i could post more variations if anyone is intrested, though i'd imagine cahaya is the real expert.


    As for swedes, the only way i'll touch the buggers is if they are mashed together with potatoes
