Roast chicken with Garlic, Lemon and Love...

Roast chicken with Garlic, Lemon and Love... ( hehehe)

One of my favorite easy recipe  which I got from website...
INGREDIENTS

§  1 lemon

§  30 grams butter cubed

§  1 tbsp chopped parsley

§  1 whole chicken innards and neck removed

§  2-3 sprigs thyme for best results, submerge in hot water for 30 seconds

§  2-3 sprigs rosemary for best results, submerge in hot water for 30 seconds

§  15 garlic cloves slightly bruised

§  2 bay leaves

§  2 tbsp olive oil

§   sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

§  1 tbsp garlic powder optional

- potato/ tomato may cook together

INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Grate some lemon zest from the lemon skin. Set aside the lemon.

2.    In a small bowl, mix cubed butter, chopped parsley and lemon zest together to form a paste.

3.    Place chicken on a flat chopping board, breast side up. For aesthetics, tuck the wings under the chicken and tie the thighs together using kitchen twine.

4.    Carefully pull the top chicken skin (where the breast portion is – see photo above) and slowly stuff the paste made in step 2 under the chicken skin. Be careful not to tear the chicken skin while doing so.

5.    Cut lemon in two and microwave for 40 seconds. Carefully use the tip of a small knife to prick all over the lemon. Squeeze the lemon juices into the cavity and put the whole lemon inside 

6.    Besides the lemon, stuff the cavity with thyme, rosemary, garlic and bay leaves. If you have leftover herbs, sprinkle them around the pan or on the chicken.

7.    Brush the chicken skin all over with olive oil using a pastry brush. Season chicken with salt, black pepper and garlic powder (if using).

8.    Rest the chicken, breast side up, on a wire rack sitting on a bigger roasting tray to collect the chicken juices (see second photo above). Bake chicken in preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 40 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and brush the chicken with the juices that are collected in the drip pan. If there are not enough juices, use olive oil.

9.    Return tray to oven and bake for another 30 minutes, increasing the oven heat to 220°C during the last 10 minutes. The roasting time may differ with your oven, but basically you should roast until the chicken is nicely golden brown.

I use mushroom sauce and black pepper ... tadaaaa

Takoyaki Simple

Hmm… kat mana mana org sibuk dengan resepi Takoyaki ni kan. My self pun terpanggil nak buat, bukan sebab apa nampak mcm menyelerakan je gambar yang diaorang upload kat web. Kalau beli pula tak puas makan. Mana taknya 3 balls dah RM5.00.

So myself pun dapat resepi ni dari google dan buat combination sikit. Sebab ada bahan yang mungkin kita tak dapat nak cari. Tapi all the Japanese or yang mana mana baru balik dari Jepun tu jangan marah pula kalau resepi my self tak menepati citarasa uols ya.

Bahan bahannya

250 Tepung Takoyaki (boleh didapati di Jaya Jusco)

             Kalau tak ada tepung tu boleh je optional ikut resepi ni ha yg didapati dari bloger yg tak tak  

             kedekut ilmu:

              -1 cawan tepung gandum

              -1 biji telur

              -Satu sudu the Baking powder , satu sudu the garam halus

              -300ml air) Bancuh semua tu asal tak berketul, kalau kurang cair boleh je tambah air sedikit   

               demi  sedikit, tapi jangan cair sangat ya.

1 butir telur

750ml air

Sotong (dipotong kecil dan dicelur)/ Fillet ketam dihiris nipis/ tuna slice 

Kobis (dicincang halus)

secubit garam

Kicap Unagi @ kicap Sushi @ Takoyaki Sos

                         Sos Takoyaki buatan sendiri pun boleh tau

                         Caranya:

                         Bahan2 Sos Takoyaki (boleh juga digunakan untuk Okonomiyaki)

                        1 cawan sos tomato
                        1 cawan worcestershire sos my self pilih brand Lea  & Perin
                        2 cm halia ~ diparut halus
                        1 ulas bawang putih ~ diparut/tumbuk halus
                         ¼ cawan gula

Kacau sehingga tidak berketul atau tapiskan saja.

Panaskan acuan takoyaki dengan api yang sederhana. Sapukan sedikit minyak masak dalam setiap lubang acuan. Bila acuan dah agak panas, tuangkan batter ke setiap lubang acuan sehingga penuh.

The Asam Laksa ala Mek Sha

Hmmm.... Lama tak update blog ni.
Ada ke sesiapa yg suka makan asam laksa tapi masih tak tau nak membuat kuahnya. Tapi kalau ada yang masih tercari cari n nak mencuba rasa yang baru meh la try resepi kite ni. Perlu diingat ye ada banyak jenis laksa di Malaysia, Penang Asam Laksa, Laksa utara Laksa Johor, so jangan pulak nanti jadi mcm lain ye. Laksa yang myself buat ni lebih kepada laksa Kuala Kangsar..tapi versi Mek Sha (myself la tu). My sister pun teror buat laksa juga tapi version dia lain pula. Apapun uols tengok dulu presetation myself kat atas tu, kalau rasa mengiurkan silalah buat.. hahah.

Bahan Utama
Mestilah Laksa
Macam my mum dia buat sendiri je.. itu lah yang sedap. Laksa nya dibuat dari tepung gandum. Myself tak leh nak buat sebab tak da mesin untuk memproses laksa or me. huhuhu kesiankan.
Kalau anda tinggal kat Kuala Kangsar boleh je beli ready made laksa kat Pasar Besar Kuala Kangsar . Laksanya lembut di buat dari campuran tepung gandum. Tapi org K.Kangsar rata rata peminat tegar Laksa okay, diaorg nih sangat cerewet kalau makan laksa di tempat lain, termasukla myself haha.
Atau kalau tinggal kat KL ke cari je la ready made laksa kat pasar segar, biasanya ianya agak kenyal la.

Laksa

Bahan Kuahnya

1.5 liter air putih

4 ekor isi ikan sardin yang telah di blender

1 sardin tin yang paling kecil. biasa myself guna Ayam Brand Sardin in sauce. kalau nak guna yang lain pun boleh tapi maybe akan effect rasa lah. Kena gak hacurkan isinya ,just guna garfu memadai.

Lada boh cap Puteri yang paling kecil (rm1.20) 

5 hiris Asam keping

1 tangkai bunga kantan

se ikat daun kesum

1 x 1 cm belacan... hahah ini wajib. kalau nak letak lebih pun boleh ikut selera masing masing la.

2 labu bawang besar dan 5 biji cili padi (merah /hijau) di lumatkan (guna la cara apapun asalkan lumat/hancoq hahah)

Masukkan semua nya ke dalam periuk ,masak hingga mendidih. Pastu boleh la tambah garam secukup rasa. Kalau ada yang suka letak bahan perasa silalah letak ye.Jangan risau kalau kepedasan tak memenuhi citarasa waktu masak kuahnya sebab anda boleh je tambah hirisan cili padi masa menghidangkannya.

Senangkan.

Bahan craving  pula

Sebiji timun 

2 tangkai cilimerah 

cili padi 

Sebiji bawang besar

Home Made Bread

Home Made Bread

This is my weekends project, I have made a bread by following recipe from river cottage. It is so easy and I believe all of you may able to make it.

First just go to your favourite bakery shop and ask for bread flour. The cost is about MYR3.50 ($1) per kg.  Fast action yeast for a packet 10gram . For the rest I believe you will have it in your sweet kitchen,


Make sure  you have as below item:
1 kg of white bread flour
a packet of dry yeast 10g
1 tea spoon of salt
1- 2 table spoon of vagie oil (corn oil)
600ml warm water or milk ( I use milk so the bread will be sweet and soft)

So let's play with dough.. hehe

1. Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil,  then add the water/milk. Stir to create a rough, sticky dough. Make sure the dough quite sticky at this stage – it not splash more water.

2. Turn out the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, rhythmically stretching the dough away from you, then folding it back on itself. The idea is to stretch and develop the gluten within the dough, not to beat the living daylights out of it. Avoid adding more flour if you can: the dough will become less sticky and easier to handle as you knead, and a wetter dough is generally a better dough.

3. When the dough is smooth and elastic, form it into a ball, coat it very lightly with oil and place in a clean bowl. Cover with wet napkin and leave in a warm place until doubled in size - in the region of 1½ hours.

4. Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and deflate with your fingertips. Reshape the dough into neat rounds and put on a lightly floured board to prove for around 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250°C/gas mark 10, or its highest setting. Put a baking tray in to heat up.

5. When the loaves have almost doubled in size again, take the hot baking tray from the oven and sprinkle with a little flour. Carefully transfer the risen loaves to the tray. Slash the tops with a sharp, serrated knife and put in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 190°C/gas mark 5 and bake for about 30 minutes more, or until the crust is well-coloured, and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap it sharply with your fingers. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy trying ya.

Pomegranate(Buah Delima)

Salam All, 

Siapa yang suka makan Delima ni... kebetulan waktu balik dari lunch nampak pulak buah delima yang dijual denga harga RM1.70 sebiji, besar pula tu.  Saya nak share sikit mengenainya. Semoga dapat memberi info yang sihat buat yg lain.

Intipati buahnya yang berwarna merah dan lazat bagaikan mata air salsabil di syurga. 

Ada yang kata , kalau kita makan buah delima, pastikan kita makan sebiji, kerana di dalam butiran merah itu ada sebiji yang boleh menjadi penawar segala penyakit. 

Malah ada petikan dari (Kisah Sahabat) iaitu ;

Setiap kali Ibnu Abbas mendapati buah delima, dia akan memakannya. Orang-orang menanyakan kepadanya mengapa dia melakukan hal itu, dan dia menjawab, “Aku benar-benar percaya bahwa tak ada satu pun buah delima di dunia ini yang tidak mengandung satu biji dari salah satu biji dari surga. Barangkali biji ini adalah yang dari surga itu.” 

Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda, “Tidak ada delima yang tidak mempunyai buah dari delima surga di dalamnya” (HR Abu Nu’aim)

Rasulullah bersabda,

“Buah delima dan kulitnya memperkuat pencernaan di perut.”

(HR Abu Nu’aim dan Al-Jauzi)

Antara khasiat buat delima mengikut buku perubatan Parsi termasuk :

• Membaikpulih fungsi hati dan limpa
• Mencuci buah pinggang dan salur kencing
• Membantu penghadaman
• Membuang lemak-lemak berlebihan
• Menambah tenaga
• Mengelakkan alahan bagi wanita mengandung
• Mengubahsuai hormon bagi wanita menopause
• Membaiki sistem pembersihan dan pengaliran darah
• Merawat @ membaikpulih pesakit kencing manis
• Menambahkan tenaga dan mengelak dari penyakit lemah tenaga batin
• Mencantikan kulit
• Mengurangkan pengumpulan lemak di dinding pembuluh darah, mengelakkan dari salur darah tersumbat dan mengeras yang menjadi punca penyakit jantung
• Mengurangkan tekanan darah sebanyak 5% di kalangan pesakit tekanan darah tinggi jika mengambil Jus Delima sebanyak 50cc setiap hari selama 2 minggu
• Menghalang pembentukan sel barah payu dara Di Jepun terdapat laporan yang menggalakkan pengambilan Jus Delima dalam membantu mengubati penyakit jantung, tekanan darah tinggi, menambah tenaga, untuk kecantikan kulit dan banyak lagi khasiat lain 
• So apa lagi, jum la kita makan buah delima ni...
