Tagliolini al nero di seppia con granchio – Venetian squid ink tagliolini with crab

Mujaddara is a classic Arabic recipe that consists of cooked brown lentils together with rice (white or brown), and garnished with caramelized or sautéed onions. In Kenya we call it 'Mchele Kamande' and most households have prepared it. I just added some garnish and onions to make it more flavourful. Enjoy! #Mujaddara #CaramelizedOnions #TheMeChallenge #McheleKamande #FollowMeIFollowBack

If you've been following me, you'll know I do not like kunde. They're hard and fibrous with a weird taste. But from research I see they are super healthy, and there's the little matter of they are in plenty in the shamba. I've been doing experiments trying to improve their texture and taste. I think the biggest health benefits are the amount and type of fibre they have and apparently they have high protein. The last time I cooked it I combined with Mexican mole sauce. This time I used a combo of chicken stock, gravy, and aromatic vegetables. The taste improved quite a bit. I guess I can truly say I am on the verge of creating the perfect kunde dish.

A vegetable salad that blends well with grilled meat

It's the most appraciated soup in Morocco.Highly nutritious ,healthy and delicious.It's the principal preparation on moroccan tables in the sacred month of Ramadan,where we fast.All moroccan girls without exception are supposed to prepare this stew.Normally,I learnt the recipe from my mother.and with time,I added some secrets that I learnt from friends and cooking shows on TV.This stew can be considered as a complete meal since it contains protein,carbs,vitamins,minerals,and lipids.It gives the feeling of being full for a long time.

i like cooking beef strongnoff since its sweet and ease to prapare.

For those who do enjoy their favourite choice (rice or sima/ugali) with "Mrojo" (thick) meat stew courtesy of Royco.

I'm big fan of meat so it's never lacking in my meals. I hope you enjoy this wonderful recipe.

The day I learned I could enjoy pasta without meat was the day my palate became more sophisticated. Then, Parmesan cheese came along and changed my life forever.This recipe is sponsored by my dear Nicaraguan friend, Vanessa, and she says you are all welcome to enjoy a glimpse of her favorite things #GlobalApron

Quite appealing

A healthy and filling filling salad to enjoy as a light meal or as an accompaniment. Feel free to add any other vegetables of fresh fruit you like.

Ground nuts aka Njugu karanga are rich in proteins with their own natural oil. When making a stew with them, one does not need to use cooking oil at all, but only when need be, like in this case, I wanted the fried onions taste in this stew. Note: this is good stew for those who are dieting.Alternatively, You can blend the tomatoes and onions and the mixed spices. Put in a Sufuria, place on fire and cook them, when it boils you add in your blended (in a dry mill) groundnuts, add salt, and cook till ready.

I've been trying to make more kidney friendly soups for my partner who has chronic kidney disease (CKD). This recipe uses very little salt, low potassium ingredients, and a soaking technique to further reduce the potassium content.

meat is the most common food in kenya, one can fry or stew the meat. in my case i have decided to do stew Enjoy!

This recipe is from a chef I admire and follow. His Name is Rob. Both Photo and Recipe are his. Enjoy.

"The art of dining well is no slight art, the pleasure no slight pleasure."This salad is yo die for, a MUST try🤤🤤🤤#natashaskitchen

With ugali, becoming a luxury.... we have to device ways to enjoy the kanyama.

We are so lucky that in Kenya we get freshly grown vegetables that are succulent and flavorful. Most of these vegetables are available throughout the year. Whenever I want a whole plateful of colorful vegetables, I make stir fried vegetables. I enjoy them on their own, with rice, noodles, couscous or even quinoa. Here I've prepared quinoa. The best time to buy really sweet oranges is now. We're so lucky that in Mombasa we get loads of Pixie oranges and tangerines especially during the hot season.

Initially meant to be a vegan stew but my friend from the south of Africa has to taste some meat so ended up combining the two🤤🤤#themechallenge

What is a gazpacho? Traditionally a gazpacho is a Spanish cold soup made from tomatoes, peppers and other salad vegetables. However, with modern times, food too has become modern and its exciting to try out recipes that are not traditional. Watermelon is in season and sometimes its good to enjoy this delicious fruit in a different manner other than juices, in fruit salads or as ice lollies.

I was always fascinated by the rich traditions of my Muslim friends, especially during Eid. One of the highlights was the delicious ‘mutton yakhni pulao’ that their families would share with neighbors. The aroma of spices and slow-cooked mutton would fill the air from the night before, creating a sense of celebration and community.During my recent visit to Kenya, the pervasive aroma of Kenyan pilau wafting from the kibandas (food stands) lining the streets at lunchtime felt nostalgic. Kenyans take immense pride in their culinary heritage, eagerly sharing their recipes and techniques at the slightest hint of appreciation. In these mealtime gatherings, laughter, stories, and the bonds of friendship were as abundant as the fragrant spices in the air.‘Mutton yakhni pulao’ and ‘Kenyan pilau’ are slightly distinct aromatic rice dishes. Kenyan pilau is milder in spice, often paired with beef, lamb, chicken, or served vegetarian with a side of kachumbari (tomato salsa). Unlike yakhni pulao, Kenyan pilau stock is not cooked down; rice is added the first time after bringing the stock to a boil (atleast from my observation in a few Kenyan homes I visited)While I have enjoyed both experiences, I tried my luck at 'mutton yakhni pulao,' preserving the tradition of communal meals. I am excited to share this recipe, offering a taste of Eid celebrations and lunchtime gatherings in your own home. And what’s yakhni without a burst of fresh ginger #GlobalApron

I am in that club of people who tells the butcher man " I don't want bornes or fat in my package " this time round I failed to do it and my meat had lots of fat. Nevertheless I had to make the stew in a way that it will not have more fats than the amount in the meat. It looked abit wired but it worked and the stew was so delicious.

As you may have noticed if you're keen, I have a whole bunch of foods stocked up that I'm trying to clear so I have to find more creative ways to cook them. (Africa we really need to change our subsistence farming LOL! Diversify). Anyway, potatoes are also said to not be very good for diabetics so I said, anything can be mashed if your heart is in it. Israeli Salad I find the star ingredients are cucumber, tomatoes, and green hoho but I said what if I cook the tomatoes? They're healthier cooked, anyway, and I've also been working on healthier salad dressings anyway.

Have you ever lacked an ingredient and substituted yet still got amazing results. That's the story of this yummy meat balls.

This dish is simple, healthy and complete of course...Muffins made of potatoes, bananas, eggs and vegetables.Enjoy.#worldwideeggcontest#endyearchallenge
