Whatcha Got Cookin

[Tadzhik_Avstal]

Wonder what Borat will say to all these ....^^^

That show/movie or what every it is, is extremely offensive not just to Kazakhs but to all the nations of the ex-USSR. Do you seriously know what kind of negitive image that set in the minds of these stupid Western Europeans and Yankees?

Not to mention the person in the picture himself is a Jew, which for one is a joke in itself.

OI! ALL OF YOU

bugger off!

this thread is about food, I intend to use it for ideas and I cant be buggered scrolling through politics to find food I like my politics and my food to never be involved thank you, so shoo.

[from water]

Have to agree that borat sucks though, hate that guy. I hope he catches fire or something.

But yeah, um, food. It's yummy, a lot of the time. Yesterday I had a fish called mahi mahi for the first time and it was good, al hamdulilah.

Tbh I do have to cook soon. I have ground beef and chicken, and all kinds of spices. Last things I made were a kind of spicy chicken curry, then I made biryani twice. I'm done with those dishes for now, and I really want something Arabic for once. Might go for one of those Lebanese rice/meat dishes that have random nuts and stuff thrown in with pees or something insha Allah.

lol

made tacos today! yumm

[Muwahidah]

sis what brand fish sauce do you use?

i bought 'ayam' fish sauce from coles, the smell of it was disgusting let alone the taste, totally ruined my soup i might go to an asian grocery and buy one from there.

najahs post made me feel like tacos, ive only eaten it once years ago so i gave the chilli con carne burrito a shot, was nice, the sour cream with the meat was the best.

gunna use the rest of the sour cream tomorrow inshaAllah when i make my fav... baked jacket potatoes stuffed with herbed butter, coleslaw, beetroot, corn, grated cheese and sour cream

[Najah]

Tonight the local pizza shop will be cooking for me

Golden Boy (I think that's the name) fish sauce is considered the best from what I read. It has like a golden boy on the front lol.

That's weird, I thought Fasolya was an Afghan word, we call green beans fasolya:

[Tadzhik_Avstal]

That's weird, I thought Fasolya was an Afghan word, we call green beans fasolya:

I think it originates (the word) from Greece. Although all the languages of the CIS (Russian, Uzbek, Kazakh, Ukranian etc.) all call beans Fasouli or Fasouliya/e. The dish itself has no name that I am aware of just "beans" in English lol. Although I could be wrong.

Read this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasolada

Found it intresting that so many culture cook the exact same dish!

[Sister.]

^but that's white beans in the Wiki article isn't it? We call green beans fasolya.
But if they're the same, I guess I wouldn't be surprised, we just cook it differently.

We fry onion, garlic and ginger in some oil, then add a bit of tomato or tomato paste let it fry a bit, then add the fasolya, cover the lid and let it cook on high then simmer a bit on low and that's it, we don't add other vegetables like carrot or anything and it's not made into a soup or stew.

[cheesegirl]

Arabs csll it fasoliya too!!

[SuBMiSSioN]

The green beans in Lebo talk is called lubyeh. I've had it that way before sister, minus the ginger, and it's really nice mashaa'Allaah.

It's not a great idea reading this thread when you're on the verge of hunger :/

Yeh we make that too but its Greek food called Fasoulakia, not Uzbek. All these countries have very very similar food from Greece to Russia/Central Asia, Middle East and Afghanistan etc. Very similar. and so so tasty Mashallah!

[CrownUrEmaan]

We call it fasulye aswell (different spelling- the green and the beans)

I'm making lasagna (was tossing up between shepherds pie) soup, rice, salad.
