Hello everybody…grocery day again,,, can’t believe how fast the week goes by…well, they say time flies when you’re having fun….frankly it’s been a fun week … (. حمدلله ).

Found fresh green beans today…though as usual one family member always objects when I cook it…ends up eating rice with tomato sauce, but it’s really a delicious healthy meal.plus very easy to make specially when using a pressure cooker….he or she who invented it is really a great man or woman….very useful and time saving.
You will need:
1/2 kg of lamb meat cut to cubes or big pieces with bones as you prefer.
1kg cut, washed green beans.
2 or 3 large ripe tomatoes.
2 cloves of garlic.
1 small onion.
2 big spoons tomato paste.
5 cups of water.
Salt.pepper. mixed spice.paprika.
1 big spoon olive oil.

In a pressure cooker or regular pan..heat the oil then add meat pieces, salt.pepper.spices. paprika, stirr well till meat is brownish and crispy.
Add the beans and keep stirring till it softens.
In a blender mix the onion, garlic, peeled tomatoes, tomato paste and water then pour it over the beans and meat..
You can add one more cup of water if the juice is too thick.then leave to boil for 30-40 minutes on low heat if in pressure cooker or for hour and half if in regular pan.. or till meat is well done.
Of course this dish is served with rice..today I made rice with small noodles (شعيريه ) I toasted it with vegetable oil and salt till golden.added the rice, mix them well together then added water till above rice by one inch.
When all water is absorbed lower the heat ,, I usually place a tin under the pan to keep heat very low and rice won’t burn, then leave till rice us done.

Best part of today is,,, and I’m sure my eldest son will hurry home when he sees today’s post….I made simple basic chocolate balls. Both my sons favorite dessert..made it cause the eldest has finals,, as a treat or comfort food when studying.

This recipe is soooo easy and doesn’t need many ingredients.
You will need:
2 big packs of plain biscuits.
2 large spoons cocoa powder.
1 cup shredded coconuts.
1 can condensed sweetened milk.

You simply crush the biscuits till very fine then add all other ingredients and mix very well…if the mixture is too dry add a bit of milk,careful cause if you add too much mixture will be very sticky and hard to handle.
Wet your hands with water and shape the mixture into small balls then cover them with shredded coconut. .keep in fridge for 1 hour then serve…usually half will be eaten before you know it!!!!!

Have a nice weekend everybody.
