How to make it

1.     -In a medium bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas into irregular sized pieces. (A few left whole is ok!)

-Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

-Assemble sandwiches on bread topped with lettuce, pickles, and tomato.

2.      -In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and pepper and cook until softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and lightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, lemon juice, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cumin. Season liberally with salt and pepper.

-Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook until all liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. 

-Remove from heat and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper, top with cilantro, and serve immediately.

 

1.      -In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil and swirl to coat. Add shallots and garlic, then season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until translucent, 4 minutes. Add zucchini and red pepper flakes, increase heat to medium-high, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until shallots and garlic are deeply caramelized and zucchini is golden in spots and very soft, 12-14 minutes more. 

-Remove from heat and add heavy cream and cheese. Stir to combine and transfer to a blender. With the interior lid removed and a kitchen towel placed over the opening, begin to blend on low, increasing speed until a chunky puree forms. Set aside. 

-In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until just short of al dente, keeping in mind that pasta will continue to cook once zucchini sauce is added. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta water, and return pasta to pot, along with lemon juice, lemon zest, basil, parsley, and contents of blender. 

-Add ½ cup pasta water to blender. Swirl and stir to remove the last remnants of sauce and add mixture to pot with pasta. Gently fold to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and divide among shallow serving bowls, topped with walnuts, additional cheese, and herbs.

How to make it

1.    -Pour espresso into a coffee mug. If using a steam wand: Pour milk into a frothing pitcher and insert steam wand at an angle just barely below the surface. Steam for 1 to 2 seconds, then submerge wand a little deeper, still at an angle. Steam until sides of pitcher just start to become top hot to handle, or until milk reaches 140°. 

-To use a milk frother: In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat milk to 140°. It won't be to a simmer, but hot to the touch. Pourr hot milk into a frothing pitcher or tilt saucepan to the side and insert the frother about 3/4 of the way to the bottom and froth until foamy and milk has thickened and looks like melted ice cream. 

-To use a french press: Pour milk into a large microwave safe french press. Insert the plunger and lid of the french press and pump the milk until doubled in volume. Remove lid (and anything else metal) and microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, watching carefully to make sure milk doesn’t overflow. 

-Pour steamed milk into espresso.

 

2.      -In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add salsa and bring to a simmer, then add shredded chicken and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. 

-Spread about ¼ cup of refried beans in center of tortilla, then sprinkle with both cheeses. Top with about ½ cup of chicken mixture and some sour cream. Roll into a burrito by folding the top and bottom of tortilla into the center, then fold the right side all the way over the filling, tucking and rolling tightly. Set aside on a plate, seam side down, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. 

-Working in batches as necessary, place burritos into basket of air fryer, seam side down, and spray with a little cooking spray. Cook at 400° for 5 minutes, then flip, spray with more cooking spray, and cook another 5 minutes.

-Drizzle with more sour cream and serve with guacamole.

 

3.      -Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon in the middle, skin side down, and season with salt and pepper. Spread pesto all over top. 

-Place tomatoes in a medium bowl and drizzle with oil. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Spread around salmon on baking sheet. 

-Bake until salmon is fork tender and internal temperature reaches 140°, about 40 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Comments

These recipes are western food’s recipes. But I don’t know with the first one. I think it seems like “Dalgona” which is viral last time. The second recipe, I think it’s appropriated for snacks. It seems like “Kebab”. And the last one is a healthy food, I think. It’s Tuna fish and the season also just pepper and salt. It isn’t add gorment.

Comments

The pancake recipe here is little bit different with I found in a book. I think this pancake is thiner than usually I found. I think it’s another of pancake, because I knew that pancakes are different in some countries. For the second recipe isn’t suggested for Moslem. Because there are some people who claim that Pimm is an alcohol. So, I think it’s better if the Moslem just avoid it. And the last recipe, I think it’s recommended for those who want to have stock of sorbet. Because it will keep for a couple months. But I think this recipe also suitable for who has ice cream machine.

How to make it

1.      -Place the limes, mint and sugar into a sturdy highball glass and 'muddle' or mash with the end of a clean rolling pin, to bruise the mint and release the lime juice.

-Add the ice and pour over the rum.

-Add soda water to taste and stir well. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve.

 

2.      -For the filling, mix all of the filling ingredients together in a bowl.

-For the dumplings, place two teaspoons of the filling mixture into the centre of one of the wanton wrappers. Gather up the sides of the wonton wrapper and mould around the filling into a ball shape, leaving the filling in the centre exposed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, until the filling is used up. Top each with a goji berry, if using.

-Oil the bottom of a bamboo steamer and line with greaseproof paper. Place the dumplings in the steamer, cover with a lid and place over a pan of boiling water (making sure the water does not touch the base of the steamer). Steam the dumplings for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.

-Combine the chilli and soy sauce in a bowl and serve with the dumplings.

 

3.      -To make the marinade, blitz the garlic, onion and pear in a food processor and place in a bowl. -Add the soy, sugar, 5 tablespoons water, sesame oil, mirin and pepper and mix well. Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for an hour.

-After half an hour, bring a pan of water to the boil, add the rice and cook for 25 - 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

-Heat a wok on a high heat and stir-fry the chicken for 4 - 5 minutes, until cooked through and browned.

-Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and break the eggs in. Fry to your liking, basting the yolk with the oil to make sure it’s cooked.

-To serve, place the rice in a bowl and top with the chicken, fried egg and a spoonful of kimchi.

Comments

I think the first recipe will help you save  our money. Because we could make mojito which is a little bit famous right now.

The second recipe is the most I want to do. Because it’s one of my favorite food. The last is Korean food. Which is now the most famous country in Indonesia. And the fans of it are trying to do their culture, and one of it, is Korean food. So, for those who like Korea, it’s recommended for you. And I also think that it’s suitable for us, because it’s Asian food
