Today’s a weekend and we were craving some Kuwaiti dishes, We’ve been in Scotland for a while now and a homemade Kuwaiti meal was needed to keep us going. We wanted something easy to cook and I remembered that em3addas was an easy dish to cook, and maybe fry some chicken to go with the em3addas, it would compliment it perfectly. We called the base back home and they sent us the following easy to follow recipe:

وصفة المعدس لشخصين

المقادير
2 كوب عيش –
1 كوب عدس –
2 طماط مقطع صغار –
2 بصل مقطع صغار –
البهارات : كركم – دارسين – كمون – مسمار – فلفل اسود (ملعقه استكانة تقريبا من كل النوع) –

الطريقه
غسل العيش و العدس و نقعهم ( منفصلين) لمدة نصف ساعه، يحمر البصل بالزيت الى ان يكتسب اللون الذهبي و ليس الأحمر
ثم يضاف الطماط و اضافة جميع البهارات تدريجيا، ثم يحرك الى ان يذوب الطماط، ثم يتم اضافة 4 أكواب من الماء و اضافة مكعب ماجي ( مغلف واحد) ، بعد ذلك يتم اضافة الملح حسب الرغبه بعد تذوق الماء، و عندما يغلى الماء يتم اضافة العيش و العدس بعد شخلهم من الماء، يترك على النار و يتم تخفيف النار بعد تشرب العيش للماء
و لايجب اضافة الماء بعد ذلك حتى بعد نقصانه
يترك حتى ينضج

و بالعافيه 🙂

Rice with Lentil for 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 cup of life
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 2 small chopped tomatoes.
  • 2 small chopped onions
  • Spices: turmeric – students – cumin – nail – black pepper (spoon complacency almost every type)

Wash the rice and lentil and soak them (separately) for half an hour, fry the onion till it acquire a golden color but not red.

Then add the tomatoes and all the spices gradually, keep stirring and shifting the tomatoes till they melt, then add 4 cups of water and add a cube Maggie (one packet), then salt is added to taste, after tasting the water, and when the water starts to boil add the rice and lentils after. Leave it to boil, and reduce the heat under the pot when almost all of the water is gone.

Don’t add more water even if there is no water left.

Leave it on low fire till it’s done.

Bon Appetit 🙂

Chooped the 2 tomatoes and 2 onions.

Washed and soaked the rice and lentil.

Boiled the chicken (muchboos deyay style)

Here we go with the tomatos and onions in a pan. Stirring them till they melt.

We added a little bit of tomato paste coz we like it reddish 😉

Then we added the onions.

And we poured the rice and lentil and the water and boiled them all to perfection.

In the meantime we went through the chicken frying process, and the lentil rice was almost ready, and the place started smelling like KUWAIT!

Finally it was very very delicious! We devoured it!

Thanks Labeeba

    Looks good, well done!

    Asda is the best supermarket in the UK. It has a nice variety, with a good price range and is Muslim-friendly 🙂
    Also doesn’t support and fund Israel like Tesco does 🙁

    Oh and do you know how to make a kind of chicken kubba using toast bread?

    I had it before, but don’t know the exact recipe, and it would be super-duper if you could make it and show the process step by step.

    From what I remember, its chicken boiled in cinnamon, cardamom, pepper and salt then shredded. Add onions and fresh coriander to the chicken in a pan and put the mixture in cut circles of toast bread or something?
