ITALIAN FOOD - Spaghetti Bolognese

2008-09-02T02:55:00.000-07:00

This is my second favourite Italian Dish and there are two ways of making it.

1. The easy way but still very tasty
2. The hard way but allows to suit to personal taste

The easy way on how to make Spaghetti Bolognese is to buy pre-made ingredients. You will need Spaghetti Pasta, a Jar of Bolognese Sauce (My personal favourite is Dolmio), 500 grams of Beef Mince (Feeds 3 - 4) and your favourite brand of Cheese, if you like Cheese that is.

1. To begin, you must insert the mince into a saucepan on full heat and stir until the mince has browned.
2. Then drain the fat and reduce the heat to low.
3. Add the sauce and stir well.
4. Allow the mince and sauce to simmer for 20 minutes stir occasionally.
5. 10 minutes into the mince simmering, insert the desired amount of spaghetti into a sauce pan with boiling water. (That way you will time the meal to perfection.)
6. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time, as well as stirring the mince and sauce occasionally. You may wish to take the opportunity to grate the cheese.
7. After the 20 minutes of simmering the mince and 10 minutes of boiling the spaghetti, your meal will now be ready to serve.
8. Drain the water from the spaghett and serve. My personal way of serving is to put the spaghetti on the plate first, followed by the mince and then top it with a sprinkle of cheese.

The hard way of making spaghetti bolognese which may be preferable to you, is to make your own bolognese sauce. Please click the link below to see my personal recipe.

Omelette Ala Eds

2008-04-16T14:07:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, let me share you a one nice breakfast meal that you will surely love. Its easy to cook and the ingredients is available everywhere.

Ingredients:

1/4 Red/Green Pepper, chopped
1 Medium Sized White Onion, Chopped
2 Slices of Smoked Bacon, chopped
1 Tsp. Butter
1 Spring Onion cut diagonally (thin)
3 pcs of Eggs
1/4 cup Carrots,chopped
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
1 cloves Garlic, chopped
Parsley, chopped
Salt

Proceedure:

1. In a frying pan, saute Garlic till it turns golden brown followed by onion.
2. Put the Bacon and saute it for a few minutes till its cooked.
3. Put the Red/Green Pepper, Carrots and Butter. Mixed it for 5 minutes.
4. Season it with salt, Black pepper and Msg to taste.
5. Remove it out of the pan.
6. Put the beaten eggs in the Express Omelette and then put 3 tablespoon on top of it together with spring onion. Cover it till its ready to serve.
If Omelette Express is not available, you might as well use the pan. In a medium heat, pour the beaten eggs in it and spread it evenly. Cook until the edges of the omelet begin to get firm. Uncover and run a spatula around the edges to keep it from sticking to the pan.
When the center of the omelet is almost firm, place a medium amount of cooked mixtures. Continue cooking till the top is lightly set and the under side is a light golden brown. Fold the omelette in half and slide on to a warm plate.

Tips: You can put diced cheese on top of the mixtures before you fold it to taste better. In the picture I ate it with rice. ( If you're not on diet you might as well try it) Cheers!
