Noodles with Beef.

Hello everybody.
Busy day, had some house repairs and painting walls so I kind of started to cook late 🙁
After a quick search I took out some cooked shredded beef, all the veggies in fridge and noodles. Tossed all with soy sauce, ketchup and ginger, easy quick dinner.
I also made salad with fried potatoes, eggplants and tahini sauce on top.
Another working day awaiting me tomorrow !

Homemade Shawerma .

Hello everybody.

I know many people specially youngsters prefer to eat Shawerma from local specialized restaurants. In my case I don’t like buying it at all ( had many bad health incidents whenever I do !!) . It’s not a difficult dish to do at home,you even eat with comfort cause you’re sure of meat quality and hygiene as well.

I started Spring clean up today,so to be quick, called the butcher and ordered fresh lean steaks . picked them noon with some fresh thin bread and started cooking.

Ingredients and method:

* shredded beef marinated in soy sauce,balsamic vinegar,lemon juice,salt,pepper,all spice,cinnamon,cloves and pinch of nutmeg .

* 2 big thinly sliced onions.

* Summaq.

* sliced tomatoes,pickles and tahini sauce for adding in sandwich.

* thin bread ( خبز شراك).

* Heat pan till very hot then add meat ,stir till all excess water is gone and meat starts sizzling.

* mix onions with summaq then add over meat.

* lower the heat to minimum and cover till onions are tender. ( you might add a bit of water so as meat won’t dry).

* upon serving fill bread ,roll it and press it in grill till crispy.

* serve with french fries,tomatoes,pickles,tahini,mayonnaise as each one prefers.

Bet you it’s best than any Shawerma sandwich you buy !!!

Enjoy my friends.
