Hello everybody.

Hot weather today ,no place for a hot meal or meal.

So I made steak sandwiches with some fried chili potatoes and I have some pizza from yesterday.

To be honest I made a new cake,got the recipe from Instagram but it turned out a failure,don’t know why,though it’s very easy and seemed yummy but no no,total failure 🙁

Creamy Avocado Tomato Basil Pasta.

Hello everybody.

Very hot and dusty today,need a cool dish to go with this weather. last night I found this recipe in my WordPress reader written by “ Cooking with a Wallflower” and since I have 2 avocados ripened from last week I thought this will be a good option for lunch.

Upon my youngest son request I made a kind of pizza called Calzone ,cause he bought some chili salami and wants me to make something with them,though I’m not in the mood to bake in this hot weather,but I kneaded a small dough,made half filled with salami,cheese,oregano and tomato paste then closed it like a pie and filled the other half with chocolate and bananas,will be a good dessert in the afternoon.

Ingredients and method for the pasta:

* 1 pack spagetti.

* 2 ripe avocados.

* 2 cloves garlic.

* 2 tablespoons yogurt.

* bunch of fresh basil.

* cherry tomatoes.

* Parmesan cheese.

* some sun dried tomatoes (optional).

 

 

* cook pasta as directed.

* mash avocados with salt,pepper and yogurt.

* chop garlic,basil leaves and tomatoes.

* just before serving toss all ingredients with the pasta and sprinkle with the cheese.

 

* As for the Calzone,knead a pizza dough then spread it and add filling then close it , you can use various kinds of fillings of veggies or cheeses or chocolate 🙂

Enjoy .

PIZZA.

Hello everybody.

I’m pretty sure all kids won’t say no to pizza.specially if coming right from the oven and topped with each member’s taste

To solve this problem and save time at the same time.I bought large rectangular oven trays,I spread the dough and make 3 kinds of pizza toppings .all will be happy and eat it hot at the same time.

One can find many recipies for pizza dough, I usually stick to this one.
You will need:
*1 big spoon instant yeast.
*1 small spoon sugar.
*1 big spoon powdered milk.
*1 cup flour.
*1 cup warm water.
Mix all together till creamy.cover and leave for 10-15 min or till bubbles are formed.then add:
*1/2 cup vegetable oil.
*1/2 cup olive oil.
*5 cups flour.
*1 spoon salt.
*1-1/2 cup warm water.
Knead well for 10 min.leave in a warm place to rise.
This dough is called the 10 minutes dough، cause it does rise quickly and it’s very easy to handle.

As for pizza sauce. I usually mix canned tomatoes, tomato paste, clove of garlic, oregano, basil..then leave to simmer.cool and use.
Toppings are various according to your family’s choices. Today I have mushrooms.black olives.courgettes.I will make 2 small ones..one with za’tar , the other with labaneh, rocca leaves and tomato slices.
Bake the pizza in a well heated oven.add the cheese when it’s almost done not before.then drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before roasting.makes it extra crispy.
