Yellow rice with Roast Lamb Ribs on a bed of Hierloom Tomatoes and Carrot salad

It is a very busy month for me, when the challenge of KBB came, it didn’t just came like that but came with surprise…  that the challenges are also  competitions, because this month is the first anniversary for KBB.

Although I didn’t join KBB since the very beginning, but the group is very dear to me, full with warm hearted and talented people.

This time with theme  “colourful”, Our host launched  3 competitions: cooking, baking and photography. I choose only cooking competition, because I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately and neglected my first passion, cooking…  (psst…my other reason is actually I had to pick my battle, most of KBB members are professional bakers and dare I to compete with my pocket  bridging camera with award winning members with their DSLR?  LOL… guess not… run..run away), so this is for the love of cooking and KBB !!! 😀

The event is hosted by the Chief, her self and Dewi Oni (non-blogger), for cooking competition  judge by mbak Ine and mbak Estherlita.

Recipe in Indonesian, here.

Kabsah

I was just in the mood for spicy rice and  “herbal” meat (is that the right word? well… you all know what I mean) .

Kabsah is a rice dish from middle east, you can actually eat it with everything, chicken or beef, with salad or yogurt as side dish, but I like it to have it “real” or traditional, with spicy sauce, cooked lamb and garnish with fried almond… yam…yam…

Ingredients

  • 4 cups rice long grain (basmati or jasmine)
  • 250 gr lamb
  • 2 ltr ( 8 cups) water
  • 5 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 big tomato
  • 2 Green/red chillies
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 tbs Cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tbs Galingal powder
  • 1/2 tbs Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tbs Cumin powder
  • 5 pcs Cloves
  • 5 pcs Cardamom
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • 1/2 tbs Black pepper
  • 1loomi (dried lime), you can use dried lime/lemon powder  too
  • Salt

Directions

  1. cook the lamb with salt, water, onion, tomato paste and all the herbs except the loomi in a pressure cooker for around 45 minutes.
  2. Strain the lamb broth and add 4 cups of it to the rice, put loomi inside, and cook until done.
  3. For the side sauce, mix another cup of lamb broth, salt, tomato and chillies in a blender and cook in a pan.
  4. Serve all warm

Quick Paella

I don’t know why (maybe because summer season is coming) yesterday I got this spanish blues … missing living in Spain, missing eating “tapas”, missing walking around the “La rambla”, Anyhow as now is also the “shrimps” season in middle east, so last night I bought some nice fresh tiger shimps and today I made  “Paella” to heal my spanish blues just a little. 😉

My paella is an easy-quick recipe, I don’t many kinds of sea food (they used to throw all kinds of “frutas del mar” into paella) just wanted to make it simple by only using shrimps, and I dont have this special paella pan either,so I used a normal saute pan with lid 🙂

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 250 gr shrimps 
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 big tomato (diced) 
  • 1 pack of chicken stock (maggie)
  •  salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen mix carrot and peas, thawed
  • lemon juice (optional)

    • Directions

    1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until just pink on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes (do not overcook). Transfer to a plate.
    2. Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan; then add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and rice; cook, stirring to coat, until rice is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.
    3. Stir in chicken stock, turmeric, tomatoes, and water, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in peas and carrots; season with salt and pepper.
    4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add in shrimps, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed almost all liquid, 20 to 25 minutes, serve immediately. Springkle some lemon juice over the top before eating (optional)
