Let’s see if her changes make as much difference as she claims!My cookbook is here! Order your copy today - bit.ly/3Ps9Zi4Marion's Thai Green Curry From Scratch (recipe credit to @Marionskitchen )2 tbsp vegetable oil400ml (14 fl oz) coconut milk400g (14 oz) chicken thigh fillets, thinly sliced100g (3.5 oz) sliced bamboo shoots8 apple eggplants, quartered*1 cup pea eggplants*4 fresh makrut lime leaves3 dried red chillies (optional)4 tbsp fish sauce30g (1 oz) palm sugar, finely shaved½ cup Thai basil leavesGreen curry paste:1 tsp coriander seeds1 tsp cumin seeds5 long green chillies, chopped1 small green chillies, chopped1 lemongrass stalk, white part bruised and finely chopped4cm (1.5 inch) piece of galangal, peeled, roughly choppedpeel of 1 makrut lime, finely sliced3 small Asian shallots, peeled, chopped4 garlic cloves, chopped½ tsp shrimp pasteINSTRUCTIONSPlace coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently so they don’t burn, for 1–2 minutes or until fragrant. Transfer to a mortar. Repeat with cumin seeds. Use a pestle to grind both spices to a fine powder. Transfer the spice mixture to a small bowl and set aside.Place green chillies into a mortar and use a pestle to pound to a smooth-ish paste. Add each of the following ingredients separately, pounding well after addition: lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime peel, shallots and garlic. Stir through the shrimp paste and ground spice powder.To cook the curry, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the curry paste for 1–2 minutes or until fragrant. Add coconut milk and ½ cup water, then bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and bring the liquid back to a simmer. Add the bamboo shoots, eggplants, makrut lime leaves and dried red chillies (if using). Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Add the fish sauce and sugar. Taste and add more if necessary. Stir through the Thai basil.Serve with steamed rice.NOTESUsing a mortar and pestle (head to our shop to take a peek at the one Marion has designed herself!) for the curry paste allows the ingredients to become bruised and release their natural oils and aromas. You could also start the paste in a mortar and finish in a food processor for a smoother paste.Apple eggplant, also known as Thai eggplant, is a small, round bitter eggplant (aubergine). It gets its name for its similarity in appearance to a Granny Smith apple. You can often find them at Asian grocery stores. Pea eggplants are very small eggplants that are commonly added to Thai curries. Find them at a Thai grocery store. If unavailable, leave them out. Music by Epidemic Sound.

Chicken Caesar Salad with @lilydalechicken Andy Cooks 2024-10-21 | Since Babe asked for a really good Caesar salad, I thought I better elevate it slightly from my usual recipe. This time I’ve used premium free range chicken thigh fillets from @lilydalechicken and made a chicken ballotine stuffed with a chicken mousse and served with dressed baby gem, parmesan cream and one large crouton. Recipe below. Enjoy!Chicken Caesar SaladIngredients- 1 pack of 4 Lilydale Free Range Chicken Thigh Fillets- 1 egg- 6 anchovies- 210ml (1 cup) cream- 60g (2 oz) Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving- 1 clove garlic- 1 small baguette, 10cm (4 inches) long- 60ml (¼ cup) extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)- juice of 1 lemon- 2 tsp Dijon mustard- 30g (1 oz) butter- 2 heads baby gem lettuce, leaves picked and washed- salt, to tasteMethord1. Start by making the chicken and anchovy mousse. Take 2 of the chicken thighs and the anchovies, and add them to a food processor along with 1 egg and 3g of salt. Blend for 1 minute, then add 60ml (4 tablespoons) of cream and blend again for another minute until smooth. Transfer the chicken mousse into a piping bag.2. Take the remaining 2 chicken thighs and pound them flat using a meat mallet, being careful to keep them intact. Season lightly with salt on both sides. Working with one thigh at a time, place them smooth side down onto cling film (plastic wrap). Pipe 3 lines of the chicken mousse into the centre of each thigh, just enough to fill the thigh once rolled.3. Carefully bring the cling film up and over the mousse to completely cover it with the flattened chicken thigh. Roll tightly by holding both ends of the cling film and rolling the ballotine away from you. Tie the ends securely. Place the chicken ballotine into a vacuum-sealed bag (or seal tightly using a zip-lock bag, removing as much air as possible).4. Cook the chicken ballotine in a water bath (sous-vide) at 65°C (150°F) for 2 hours.5. Add 150ml (½ cup) cream and 50g (1¾ oz) of finely grated Parmesan to a small pot, along with 1 clove of garlic, finely grated. Place over low heat, stirring often, until the cheese has completely melted. Blend with a stick blender, season with a pinch of salt, then pass the mixture through a sieve. Set aside to cool to room temperature.6. Slice the baguette into 10cm (4 inch) long pieces, then cut lengthways into slices 4mm (⅛ inch) thick. Rub with olive oil and season with salt on both sides. Place on a baking tray, cover with another tray, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want the croutons golden brown and perfectly crisp.7. Add 50ml (3 tablespoons) of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, and 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard with a pinch of salt into a jar. Shake well to combine.8. Once the chicken ballotine has finished cooking, remove it from the vacuum bag and pat dry. Heat some olive oil in a pan, and once hot, sear the ballotine on all sides, finishing with foamy butter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before carving.9. Place 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cream in the centre of each plate. Dress the washed baby gem leaves with the Dijon dressing and arrange on one side of the plate. Place the crouton in the centre over the cream.10. Slice the chicken ballotine by removing the ends and cutting at an angle. Place the slices on top of the crouton.11. Grate some fresh Parmesan over the baby gem lettuce and serve. Enjoy!

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic, 2 bird’s eye chillies, and the large red chilli (diced). Pound into a paste—it can remain a little chunky.2. To make the Prik Nam ****dipping sauce, mix together the lime juice, 2 bird’s eye chillies (finely sliced), 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Set aside for later.3. Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.4. Add the chilli-garlic paste to the beef, stir quickly, then add the fish sauce and sugar. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if the mixture begins to dry out. You’re not making a wet stir-fry, but the beef should be nicely coated in sauce.5. In the last 30 seconds of cooking, add the basil and toss. Then remove from the wok.6. Serve the beef alongside steamed jasmine rice, with the Prik Nam dipping sauce and a crispy fried egg on top.#cooking #food #andycooks #recipes #shortsvideo #shorts
Huevos Divorciados 🍳 Andy Cooks 2024-10-16 | Huevos DivorciadosIngredients:- 8 corn tortillas- 8 eggs, fried- 4 tomatoes, cut in half- 3 white onions, peeled and halved- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed- 3 dried pasilla chillies, deseeded- 700g (24.6 oz) tin of tomatillos- 1 jalapeño- 1 bunch of coriander (cilantro)- juice of 1 lime- 120g (4.2 oz) pinto beans, soaked overnight- 1 bay leaf- salt to tasteMethod:1. For the salsa roja, add the tomatoes, two of the onion halves, and the garlic to a dry pan over high heat. In a separate pan, toast the chillies for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then place them in a jar and cover with boiling water to soak.2. Once the tomatoes, onions, and garlic have a nice dark char, transfer them to a food processor. Add the soaked chillies along with the water they were soaked in. Blitz to your desired consistency—I prefer it a little chunky. Season with salt, and set aside.3. For the salsa verde, drain the tomatillos and place them in a blender with the jalapeño, 80% of the coriander (saving some for garnish), the lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend to your desired consistency, then refrigerate both salsas until ready to use.4. To cook the beans, place the soaked beans in a pressure cooker or pot along with the remaining onion half, bay leaf, and a big pinch of salt. Cook in the pressure cooker for 25 minutes, or simmer in a regular pot on low for about 1.5 hours, until tender. Once cooked, mash the beans with a potato masher and adjust the seasoning if necessary.5. Toast your tortillas in a hot, dry pan, and fry the eggs. Place the tortillas on plates, top each with a fried egg, and surround each egg with the two different salsas. Serve with some mashed beans on the side and garnish with fresh coriander. Enjoy!

Lamb Birria Pie for Babe with @SunbeamAustraliaNZ Andy Cooks 2024-10-09 | Decided to turn birria tacos into a pie because Babe couldn’t make up her mind. The pastry was made from cornmeal, then filled with lamb birria and brushed with birria stew which adds extra flavour (and colour) to the pie. Made using @SunbeamAustraliaNZ Pie Maker which has a nice deep dish so you can get plenty of filling there.Lamb Birria PieServes: 4Prep time: 50 min Cook time: 2 hours Ingredients:- 1kg (2.2 lbs) lamb shanks- 3 dried Ancho chillies, seeds removed and cut- 2 dried Guajillo chillies, seeds removed and cut- 1 dried chipotle chilli- 2 plum tomatoes- 2 white onions, diced- 3 cloves garlic- 2 tbsp peanut oil- 1 cinnamon stick- 1 bay leaf- 4 peppercorns- 1 whole clove- ½ tsp cumin seeds- ½ tsp dried thyme- ½ tsp dried oregano- 25ml (1 oz) apple cider vinegar- 250ml (8.5 fl oz) chicken stock- 250g (2 cups) bread flour- 130g (1 cup) stone-ground cornmeal- 1 tsp salt- ½ tsp sugar- 200g (7 oz) lard- 200g (7 oz) grated mozzarella cheeseMethod:1. Start by cutting and deseeding the dried chilies. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. After toasting, add the chicken stock. Once it begins to simmer, turn off the heat and let the chilies soak for 10 minutes.2. Add the soaked chilies, chicken stock, 1 diced onion, tomatoes, garlic, clove, oregano, thyme, peppercorns, and vinegar to a blender. Blend until smooth.3. In a pressure cooker (or large Dutch oven), heat the peanut oil over high heat. Season the lamb shanks with salt, then brown them on all sides. Once browned, add the chilli paste from the blender along with the bay leaf and cinnamon stick.4. Cook the lamb for 1 hour if using the pressure cooker OR Simmer the lamb for about 3 hours, covered if using a Dutch oven. 5. Once cooked, let the lamb rest for 30 minutes. Skim and reserve some of the fat from the top of the sauce for later use. Shred the lamb and stir it into most of the remaining sauce. Allow to cool to room temp. 6. To prepare the pastry, in a bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Add the cold lard and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingers until it resembles sand. Gradually add 100ml (3.5 fl oz) of ice-cold water and knead the dough for 4-5 minutes until it comes together. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours.7. When ready to cook, preheat your pie maker. Roll out the pastry to about 4 mm thick (1/6 inch), then cut out four bases and four tops for the pies.8. Brush the pie maker with the reserved fat. Place the pastry bases into the pie maker and press them down. Fill each pie with the shredded lamb, grated mozzarella, and a bit of diced onion.9. Place the pastry lids on top, brush them with more of the reserved fat, and close the pie maker. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.10.

Jam doughnuts 🍩 Andy Cooks 2024-09-30 | Jam DoughnutsServes: 10Prep time: 2 hoursCook time: 20minIngredients- 60ml (¼ cup) milk- 4g (1 tsp) active dry yeast- 50g (¼ cup) sugar- 6g (1 tsp) salt- 6 large eggs, room temperature- 560g (4½ cups) plain flour (all-purpose), plus extra for dusting- 220g (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature- 1 jar of jam (your choice)- 100g (½ cup) sugar- ½ tsp cinnamon- oil for frying (I use peanut oil, but be cautious of allergies)Method1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the milk, yeast, 50g sugar, salt, eggs, and flour. Attach the dough hook and mix on low for 7-8 minutes until the dough comes together.2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then continue mixing on low while adding the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time. Wait until each piece of butter is fully absorbed before adding the next.3. Once the dough is smooth and ready, transfer it to a well-floured surface and form it into a ball. Place it back into a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and leave it to rise until it doubles in size. This may take 2-4 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.4. Cut 10 pieces of greaseproof paper, roughly 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in), and set them aside.5. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and carefully roll it out to a thickness of about 2.5cm (1 inch).6. Using a cookie cutter 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) in diameter, cut out rounds of dough. Place each round onto a piece of greaseproof paper. Transfer the dough circles to an airtight container and let them prove for another hour.7. Gather any leftover dough scraps and re-roll them if desired, but note that these won’t be as perfect as the initial doughnuts.8. Preheat your oil to 160°C (320°F). In a bowl, mix together the 100g of sugar and the cinnamon. Also, prepare your jam by placing it in a piping bag.9. Once the doughnuts have proved, carefully lower them into the hot oil, peeling off the greaseproof paper. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.10. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain them well. Roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.11. Let the doughnuts cool for 20 minutes before cutting a small hole in the top of each. Insert the piping bag as far as possible and fill each doughnut generously with jam.12. Serve warm for the best experience.#cooking #jam #howto #recipe

Calzoni Fritti Andy Cooks 2024-09-28 | Calzoni FrittiIngredients- 500g (4 cups) 00 flour- 7g (2¼ tsp) dry active yeast- 8g (1½ tsp) sugar- 60g (2 oz) lard, room temperature- 10g (2 tsp) salt- 200g (7 oz) low-moisture mozzarella, diced- 150g (5 oz) leg ham, chopped- 10 large basil leaves- oil for frying (olive oil recommended)Method1. Start by adding 300ml (10 fl oz) of warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer along with the sugar and yeast. Mix for 2-3 minutes until the yeast dissolves. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can do this in a large bowl with a spoon.2. Next, add the flour and mix on low speed until all the flour is absorbed and the dough comes together. This will take 3-4 minutes in a mixer or 5-6 minutes by hand.3. Add the room temperature lard and continue mixing on low. After 1 minute, add the salt, and continue mixing until the lard is completely absorbed into the dough.4. Remove the dough from the mixer and form it into a tight ball. Grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough in it, cover with a tea towel, and set aside to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.5. Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle.6. Place some of the mozzarella, ham, and basil on the bottom half of each circle. Fold the top half over and crimp the edges tightly to seal.7. Preheat oil in a deep pan to roughly 160°C (320°F). Carefully lower each calzone into the oil, one at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are a deep golden colour. I recommend olive oil for frying (not EVO) as it gives a great flavour, but you can use any frying oil you prefer.8. Remove the calzoni from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.#pizza #food #recipe #viral
Japanese Curry Bread (Kare Pan) Andy Cooks 2024-09-26 | Japanese Curry Bread (Kare Pan)Ingredients- 500g (1 lb) diced beef rump- 1 carrot, diced- 1 medium potato, diced- 1 brown onion, diced- ½ tbsp curry powder- 2 tbsp flour- 500ml (2 cups) beef stock- 30g (2 tbsp) oil- 3.5g (1 tsp) yeast- 200g (1½ cups) flour- 15g (1 tbsp) sugar- 8g (1½ tsp) salt- 2 eggs, beaten- 150g (1½ cups) panko breadcrumbsMethod1. Place the cubed beef, fat-side down, in a cold pan. Turn the heat to medium-high. Once most of the fat has rendered, flip the beef to brown all sides. Remove the beef from the pan, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.2. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the carrot, onion, and potato to the pan with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.3. Add the curry powder, a pinch of salt, and the flour. Stir everything together.4. Pour in the beef stock and stir until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens. Ensure there are no lumps. Add the browned beef back to the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 35 minutes until the beef is tender.5. Remove the curry from the heat and spread it on a tray to cool completely in the fridge. The curry should be thick enough to stuff into the bread later—if it's too thin, it will be difficult to work with.6. In a large bowl, mix 120ml (½ cup) warm water with the yeast, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Add the flour and stir to bring the dough together.7. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 6–7 minutes until smooth. The dough is high in moisture, so keep the surface well-dusted with flour to prevent sticking.8. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.9. Once risen, divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Roll each ball out to the size of a teacup saucer.10. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the cooled curry mixture in the centre of each dough round. Fold the dough over like a taco, crimping the edges to seal. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Any leftover curry can be stored in the fridge and served over rice later.11. Dip each filled dough in the beaten eggs, then roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat completely. Place the breaded Kare pan on a tray dusted with extra breadcrumbs to prevent sticking.12. Heat a deep fryer or a large pot of oil to 165°C (325°F). Carefully fry the Kare pan for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over.13. Serve and enjoy!

Dinner ideas - Salisbury Steak Andy Cooks 2024-09-20 | Salisbury SteakServes: 4Prep time: 30 min Cook time: 30 min Ingredients- 700g (1½ lbs) beef mince- 100g (¾ cup) panko breadcrumbs- 50ml (3½ tbsp) milk- 1 onion, finely diced- 1 tbsp mustard- 6 dashes Maggi seasoning- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce- 1 onion, sliced (for the sauce)- 500g (1 lb) mushrooms, sliced- 4 cloves garlic, finely diced- 50g (3½ tbsp) butter- 50g (⅓ cup) flour- oil for cooking- 1L (4 cups) beef stock- salt and pepper- mashed potatoes and green beans, to serveMethod1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).2. To make the Salisbury steaks, add the panko breadcrumbs and milk to a bowl and mix until the milk is absorbed.3. Now add the beef, diced onion, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 4g black pepper, 6g salt, Maggi seasoning, and garlic. Mix well until everything is combined.4. Divide the mixture into 4 portions, roughly 200g (7 oz) each, and shape them into large beef patties.5. Drizzle a little oil over the patties, place them on an oven tray, and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until almost cooked through.6. While the beef is in the oven, start the sauce. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and starting to colour.7. Next, add the sliced mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt, and sauté until the mushrooms are browned.8. Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and stir. Feel free to add any cooking juices from the beef once it's cooked.9. Cook the flour for 3-4 minutes, then start adding the beef stock, a little at a time, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Keep adding stock until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. I like my gravy relatively thick.10. Once the sauce is ready, add the steaks back to the pan with the sauce to reheat and finish cooking. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.#cooking #food #viral #beef #dinnerideas
Grilled Flatbread,whipped feta, blistered tomatoes using @KitchenaidAustralia Evergreen Stand Mixer Andy Cooks 2024-09-19 | You can’t deny that the Evergreen Stand Mixer is one good looking machine! And since the design is inspired by the outdoors with the dark green forest colour and the true walnut wood bowl, I thought I would cook this dish in the outdoor kitchen.Grilled Flatbread, Whipped Feta, Blistered TomatoesIngredients- 500g (4 cups) plain flour (all-purpose flour)- 360ml (1½ cups) warm water- 7g (2¼ tsp) dry active yeast- 3g (1 tsp) brown sugar- 5g (1 tsp) salt- olive oil- 180g (6 oz) feta cheese- 100g (⅓ cup) Greek yoghurt- 1 lemon, zested- 200g (7 oz) cherry tomatoes- 1 red chilli- small handful of basil leaves- salt and pepper, to tasteMethod1. Add the yeast, sugar, and warm water to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Mix on low for 2 minutes to activate the yeast.2. Gradually add the flour and mix on medium-low (speed 2) for 3-4 minutes. Then add the salt and continue mixing for another 4-5 minutes until the dough is smooth.3. Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into a tight ball on a clean surface. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.4. To make the whipped feta, add the feta, Greek yoghurt, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and some ground black pepper to the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed for 2 minutes, slowly drizzling in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Continue whisking for another 3-4 minutes until creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.5. Heat a frying pan over high heat. In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes and whole chilli with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.6. Once the pan is very hot, add the tomatoes and chilli. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to blister and char slightly. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.7. Once cool, remove the chilli, chop it finely, and mix it back into the tomatoes. Lightly crush some of the tomatoes as you stir the chilli into the mixture.8. Take the dough out of the bowl and place it on a greased surface. Cut it into six even pieces and shape each piece into a small ball. Cover with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.9. Use your hands to flatten the dough balls into flatbread shapes. Lightly brush each with olive oil and grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.10. Serve the hot flatbread alongside the whipped feta, topped with the blistered tomatoes. Garnish with torn basil leaves and any other fresh herbs you have on hand.#Kitchenaid #madewithkitchenaid #outdoors #recipe

Adana Kebab #shorts Andy Cooks 2024-09-15 | Adana KebabIngredients- 1.2kg (2.6 lbs) lamb with fat (rump used here)- 7 red bullhorn peppers- 1 tbsp paprika- 1 tbsp sea salt- 1 large onion, finely sliced- 3 tomatoes, sliced- 1 lemon- handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves- 1 tsp sumac- 3 tbsp olive oil- 6 flatbreadsMethod1. Finely dice and then mince the lamb by hand. Hand-mincing is important as it helps maintain the texture; using a mincer can affect the consistency. Aim for a sticky mixture that still has some texture.2. Finely dice 1 of the bullhorn peppers and squeeze out any excess moisture.3. Season the lamb with sea salt, paprika, and the diced red pepper. Mix well to combine.4. With damp hands, spread about 200g (7oz) of the lamb mixture evenly across large flat skewers. Flat, wide skewers work best, as round ones may cause the lamb to fall off during cooking.5. To prepare the salad, combine the sliced onion, tomatoes, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, olive oil, and sumac, then mix well.6. Grill the kebabs and the remaining bullhorn peppers over charcoal, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until they develop a nice colour and the meat is cooked through. In the last minute of cooking, heat the flatbreads over the charcoal.7. Serve the grilled kebabs with the side salad, a grilled pepper, and a warm flatbread.#cooking #lamb #recipe #food #viral #howto

Is Bún bò Huế better then Pho? 🍲 #shorts Andy Cooks 2024-09-11 | Bún bò HuếIngredients- 3 beef short ribs- 2 kg (4.4 lbs) beef bones- 1 pork knuckle- 2 pigs' trotters- 6 sticks lemongrass, cut into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces- 1 piece ginger, thickly sliced- 1 brown onion, peeled- 5 shallots, peeled- 180 ml (¾ cup) fish sauce- 1 tbsp fermented shrimp paste- 3 pieces rock sugar- 1 tsp salt- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon- 5 tbsp peanut oil- 1 tbsp annatto seeds- 2 tbsp ground chilli (use less if you prefer it milder)- 1 head garlic, peeled and finely diced- 2 shallots, finely diced- 3 sticks lemongrass, finely diced- 1 packet Bun Bo Hue noodles (round rice noodles)- 1 packet bean sprouts- 1 bunch coriander- 1 bunch Vietnamese mint (rau răm)- 4 limesMethod1. Add the beef and pork bones to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.2. While the bones are simmering, heat the peanut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the annatto seeds and ground chilli, stirring frequently for 7–8 minutes, until the oil turns a deep red. Strain the oil, discarding the seeds, and set aside.3. Drain and discard the water from the bones. Rinse the bones thoroughly, clean the pot, and add the bones back in. Cover with fresh water.4. Add the lemongrass sticks, ginger, whole onion, whole peeled shallots, fish sauce, fermented shrimp paste, rock sugar, salt, and chicken bouillon to the pot. Bring to a simmer.5. In a separate pan, heat the reserved annatto oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallots, lemongrass, and garlic, sautéing for 4–5 minutes. Once fragrant, transfer this mixture to the pot with the bones and other aromatics.6. Simmer the broth for 6 hours. After 3 hours, remove the pork knuckle and beef ribs from the pot. These will be sliced and served with the noodles. If you prefer your meat with a bit more chew, remove it after 1.5 hours instead.7. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions (they usually take 20–25 minutes). Once cooked, drain them well and rinse under cold water to prevent overcooking.8. When ready to serve, briefly blanch some noodles in boiling water to reheat them. Place the noodles in a large bowl, top with slices of the cooked meat, and ladle over the hot, spicy broth. Garnish with coriander, Vietnamese mint, bean sprouts, and a wedge of lime.#cooking #food #recipe #noodles #rice

Place a frying pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions with a pinch of salt and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions start to become translucent.2. Next, add the crushed garlic, pine nuts, currants, and all the spices. Stir well and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes before adding the crushed tomatoes.3. Cook this mixture for another 4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.4. Place the pan back on high heat. In batches, add the lamb mince, seasoning well with salt each time. Cook until the lamb has a nice colour on the outside. Once browned, remove from the frying pan and set aside with the pine nut and onion mixture.5. Once all the lamb is browned, mix it thoroughly with the pine nut mixture. Leave this to cool completely.6. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).7. In a small bowl, combine 100g (3.5 oz) of yoghurt, 1 egg, and 80g (2.8 oz) of melted butter. Use a fork to mix well.8. Add the remaining 20g (0.7 oz) of melted butter to a clean cast-iron pan, roughly 20cm (8 inches) in diameter.9. To assemble the börek: Take 2 sheets of filo pastry and brush the top one with the egg-yoghurt mixture. Add 1 more sheet of filo on top of the ones already covered in yoghurt, and once it’s on top, brush with the same mixture. Repeat this until you have 5 layers of filo, with the top 4 brushed with the yoghurt mixture.10. Add a quarter of the lamb mixture to the edge closest to you, then roll it over on itself to create a sausage shape.11. Place that “sausage” into the greased cast-iron pan, then repeat three more times until the coil completely fills the pan.12. Brush the top with any leftover yoghurt mixture from the filo, then sprinkle the top with sesame seeds and flaky salt.13. Place the börek into the oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.14. Let the börek rest for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve.#cooking #lamb #shorts #shortsvideo

Fold the puff pastry over to create a small envelope shape, then use a fork to crimp the edges securely.4. Place the filled puff pastries in the freezer for at least 1 hour before cooking.5. Preheat your oil to 180°C (356°F). Fry the apple pies straight from the freezer for 7-8 minutes until golden brown on the outside.6. Remove from the oil, let them drain, and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.#shorts #recipe
