November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

 BismEm


As-salam Alaikum, folks!  Smiley  No one came to the kitchen for a very long time, and tonight I tried a simple new recipe which was a great hit with the kids at home.  My mom and husband also loved it.  So I thought I'll share it here too.

In Northern Europe this is called a savoury pastry pie.  In France I guess they would all it quiche and in North America it would probably be called simply a crusty pie.  No matter what you name it, it's a baked pie dish consisting of minced meat with pastry crust covered with eggs and milk.   Nah, it isn't confusing.  We'll make it right now, step by step, and you'll see how simple it is .. and of course delicious when fully prepared.  It tastes fabulous with a huge bowl of fresh green salad, mashed potatoes or boiled vegetables viz. peas & carrots and a glass of orange juice.
 



Ok, so here we go ....

I'll be using corn oil instead of butter or margarine for a healthier option.

Dough

Flour 1.6 cups
Oil half cup
1 tb sp cold water


Filling

I medium onion, peeled & chopped
Lean minced meat 0.4 kg or 400gm
2 tb sp oil
1 tsp full ground garlic & ginger
Less than half tsp chilli powder
1 tsp full cumin powder
Half tsp salt
Pepper to taste
Quarter tsp mixed herbs
Three-quarter cup grated cheese
1 egg
A little less than half cup milk


METHOD

1) Preheat oven to 425F
 
2) Prepare the dough.  Mix flour and oil into crumbles.  Add water and work into a dough.  Line the dough on an ovenproof pie dish.  Put the dish in the fridge for 15 minutes.  Then pre-bake for 10 to 12 minutes. 
 
3) Next step, prepare the minced meat filling.  Fry the chopped onion in oil.  Add minced meat and fry until quite dry.  Then add all spices / seasonings and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add I cup water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the water is dry and the minced meat is almost cooked.  Mix the grated cheese.
 
4) Then spread the minced meat and cheese evenly over the pre-baked dough. 
 
5) Mix the egg and milk with a pinch of salt and beat well for a few minutes.  Pour the egg mixture over the minced meat which is spread on the dough. 
 
6) Bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
 
 
 
Variations:

-  To make the minced meat taste nicer, you can mix chopped tomatoes while cooking it. 
 
-  After it's baked, you can garnish the pie with fresh chopped green corriander leaves.

Aww!  crusty mince pie .. this is one of my favorites.  Alhumdulilah.  You have given the recipe very plainly & simply which makes it still better.  I would like to try the identical recipe with chicken and also use some tabasco sauce with it.  How about that?

Many thanks sis Heba!

MashAllah, this seems mouth-watering!  I too would like to try it with chicken.  You know what, I want to prepare chicken with peas and potatoe cubes, mix it with white thick white sauce and fill the tart with it.  How about that?     Smiley

That too sounds fab.  In that case you'll only need to bake the empty tart.  The white sauce filling with chicken, peas & potatoes gotta be fully cooked so u can simply spread it over the prepared tart and it's ready to eat.
