I can honestly say I make the best suugo in the world. If you like spicy and kinda on the thick side no potatoes or peppers - that is strictly maraq ingredients in my books.

Secret - add as little oil as possible, chop your onions as small as possible and be generous, do not use tomato paste use pasta sauce instead, add the garlic when it's at least half way/three quarter way done. Do not cook with peppers if you choose to add any, it will make it bitter.


Steam veggies separately, add the cooked pasta (preferably fusilli) add a generous amount of the suugo - drench it then add some grated spicy cheese to the warm mix and let it melt. Serve with salad and a tall glass of guava juice. If you've made fish or chicken to go with it you're hitting the jackpot on awesomeness.

How could u not use tomato paste and opt for the sauce? walahi the best sanuunad has to have paste in imo..

chop onions(red has to be red onions)
finely chop basil and Italian cilantro and garlic
green peppers(chopped)
boil whole vine tomatoes till skin falls off and quick spin in the food processes or squish manually with a pressor

heat pot with oil add the onion and the chopped garlic/basil/cilantro green pepper
Add the mashed tomato and and paste, stir and lower the heat to medium for 30 minutes and stirring few times

done in half hour ..cook pasta drain and in a frying pan lightly sautée the sanuunad with the pasta and serve

I don't like that strong yaanyo taste which the paste has, so use a few spoonfuls of something like this and I like my peppers raw or very lightly fried as with liver but I am interested in trying out stuffed peppers...think I might start experimenting. I really don't like it when cooking gets repetitive, experimentation is the key to happiness

@Tuushi. I always buy wild fish, specially salmon. None of that "farm raised" and "genetically modified" salmon they have at most stores. Wild salmon is a bit pricey, but imo, it's worth every penny. The flavor alone is worth every penny. The fillet fish tend to cost a bit more (you're paying for convenience), so I usually go to our local farmers market on the weekend & buy sockeye/king salmon steaks, halibut, king fish, etc. Sort them out and freeze them. When I'm ready to cook them, I usually wash the fish with warm water, dry off with a paper towel then season with Mrs Dash's original spices, cumin, coriander, sea salt, etc. I make sure there's an even coating on both sides of the fish. Then pour virgin olive oil on to a pan (stainless steel preferably which tends to preserve the flavors better), then I place the fish steak on to the pan, using medium-high heat, I sear it for like 3-5 mins, then flip on to the other side once its become golden & crispy. I preheat the oven to 400 degrees and put the fish in the oven & set the timer for 10 mins. You'll end up with fish that is crispy, yet not dry. Juicy and yet not soggy. I usually have my fish with a small side of rice, bulgur or couscous, maybe with some tabouleh or a veggie meddley with sweet potatoes, squash, cauliflower, etc.


*Wild sockeye salmon steak with tabouleh (store bought), jasmine rice, spinach cooked in a sauce of fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, shallots, jalapenos, ginger & garlic paste.

Thanks for the recipe.

I love salmon.U r a smart shopper.I always got my fish from the farmers market.The one in my area is closed Sun and Monday,making Sat afternoon the best possible time to shop since they want to clear their produce.

We do it a bit different but urs sounds more flavorful.The days that i dont any oil added,this is how i cook it.

After drying the salmon steak,i add lemon,onions,peppers,garlic and any spices i like and combine the all in a foil.Seal the foil.
Heat oven to 400 and bake for 20.

Usually have that with wild rice or quinoa.

Homemade meatballs served with rice and sautéed vegetables

1. Get your ingredients, enough for how many people you are serving. You will need minced meat which can be lamb, mutton or beef. You need onions, garlic, peppers, cougette, carrot and a lemon. You also need spices e.g coriander, cumin, a single fresh green chlli if you like it hot, salt. You will also need rice (or pasta if you prefer).

2. Get your minced meat, I would say allow about 1/4 KG per person. Make the minced meat into balls and season with salt, cumin and coriander (be generous) this will enhance the flavour of the meat. mix the seasoning into the meatballs really well. You can also add finely diced onion and a tiny amount of finely diced garlic into the meat balls. Get a pan and preheat, add a tiny amount of oil and when its hot, put your meatballs in the pan. Alternatively use a grill. Leave for about 7-10 minutes and turn so all sides are cooked.

3. Get your vegetables which you.have sliced, put in the same pan while still hot and season with your spices and salt as required. Stir. Add your 1/4 green chilli and lemon for flavour. Leave cooking for about 7-10 minutes. Add some diced fresh tomatoes towards the end (optional).

4. Cook your rice or pasta and plate up with the meatballs and your veg. Bon a petit

Has anyone here have a recipe for home-made English breakfast?

[BlackVelvet]

Really? Sunny side up, bacon, baked beans, sausages etc?

Really? Sunny side up, bacon, baked beans, sausages etc?

Not just the bog-standard stuff but a gourmet version with flavour enhanced by using spices. bacon is optional.

[BlackVelvet]

Ok sorry mate the only thing English I have is the tea and even then I add cinnamon and ginger. The Sunday roast thing is actually not bad with cauliflower and cheese and baby carrots, peas, mash and gravy etc very unSomali though

No food in the fridge.......ketchup sandwich it is then.

Not to be judgemental but how long do you think you can keep that up before you drop dead?

[1nemansquad]

I can't cook. I don't know how, one of my all time failures

i make a mean crumbled eggs for mi boy though, he loves it

Not to be judgemental but how long do you plan to be attached to your mother's umbilical cord?

Actually it is demanded, sexist. A girl is not allowed to move out and live on her own unless I move to a different city or country or get married I am being held hostage but food is provided so can't complain.


Lakin just cause you moved out doesn't mean you're only allowed to have ketchup sandwich. When I was 10yrs younger than you are now I lived on my own and made baasto and suugo and chicken stuff at least 3 times a month.
