I eat this stuff at least twice a week. The high fiber content and wholesome taste makes me feel great. It elevates my mood and I become a friendly person for all of 2 hours.

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 happinesszulaika wrote:How could u not use tomato paste and opt for the sauce? walahi the best sanuunad has to have paste in imo..Jasmine6 wrote: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.
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
Anarchist wrote:@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.
Not just the bog-standard stuff but a gourmet version with flavour enhanced by using spices. bacon is optional.Jasmine6 wrote:Really? Sunny side up, bacon, baked beans, sausages etc?
