Dynamite Fries!

Hello!! So I was asked to make dynamite fries and share the recipe ! ♡ a recreation of dynamite fries from the restaurant B+F ! ;) I tried as much as possible to make it taste the same, sisters loved it so here we go! :D

Part 1 : beef salsa
ingredients :

  • minced beef
  • Ready red beans
  • red sauce (brand used : Prego )
  • crushed garlic and onion (optional)
  • seasoned the beef with : cumin, salt & pepper, chili seasoning , red pepper.

*Proportions are to preference.

steps:

  1. Cook onion in a greased deep pan, when color is red-ish add the garlic and stir, then add the minced beef and seasoning.
  2. When beef is almost cooked add the red sauce then add the red beans.
  3. Keep till boiling hot then turn off the fire.
  4. Start frying french fries while waiting for the beef salsa to finish cooking.





Now when both fries and salsa are ready, we move to part 2 :
ingredients :

  • ketchup , mayonnaise & mustard.
  • Sliced jalapeños.
  • Cheddar & mozarella cheese

Proportions here are also to preference, I put about 3/4 a cup of ketchup, half a cup of mayo and 1/3 of mustard. ( I didn't really measure it , just my estimates.)

Steps :

  1. In a bowl mix ketchup with mayo & mustard.
  2. place the fries in a pyrex that can handle the oven heat.
  3. Top fries with the beef salsa then add on it the mix of mayo, ketchup & mustard you have in that bowl then top it again with the beef salsa.
  4. Finally top it with cheddar cheese or mozarella cheese or both! & into the oven till cheese has melted! I did both.
  5. Add Jalapeños and serve ;) *I am not a fan of spicy food so I only added Jalapenos ontop after cooked, if you're a jalapeno lover you should add it within the previous steps between layers!*




ENJOY! <3

Chocolate Fondants!

Chocolate fondants! (Did it before yesterday) because the best way to spend a study break is by baking ♡_♡! Very easy very quick and VERY delicious!!!

Ingredients :
  • 3/4 cup hersheys semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 a cup sugar
  • 50 grams salted butter
  • 1/2 a cup flour
  • 4 eggs
  • Tea spoon vanilla extract.

Steps:
  1. Melt the butter and chocolate in microwave and mix them together then pour the mix in another bowl with a mix of the rest of the ingredients!
  2. Mix all the ingredients well using an electric mixer.
  3. pour the mix into a "greased" muffins tray (looks like a cupcakes tray but abit bigger) and get into the oven for about 8 minutes!
By greased I mean so the fondant won't stick to the tray.
*it depends on the oven, my oven takes more time because it is slow, I knew it was ready when the sides of each one looked puffier and harder than its center, if that makes sense*

You can enjoy it with ice cream or strawberries, it ends up "cake-y" from the outside and melted chocolatey from the inside ♡



أول أمس جربت اسوي تشوكليت فوندانت! ♡ طلع لذيذ واجد و ياخذ تقريبا 15 دقيقة لعمله!
المقادير :
  • 3/4 كوب هيرشي تشوكليت تشب semi sweet (رقائق التشوكليت هههه)
  • 50 جرام زبدة
  • نص كوب طحين
  • نص كوب سكر
  • ملعقة صغيرة فانيلا
  • أربع بيضات

الطريقة :
  1.  نذوب التشوكليت مع الزبدة بالمايكرويف و نخلطهم مع بعض و بعدين نصب الخليط إلى خليط من المقادير الثانية
  1. نخلط جيدا بالخلاط الكهربائي.
  2. نصب الخليط في صينية لعمل المافنس
    الصينية تشبه صينية كب كيك بس شوي الدوائر أكبر. و تكون شوية مدهنة عشان ما يلزق فيها الكيك
  3. نبقيه في الفرن لمدة تقريبا 8 دقائق.
* يعتمد على نوعية الفرن انا بقيته اطول لأنه الفرن بطيء، بس بتعرفي متى يجهز لما تكون اطراف كل واحد متضخمة أكثر عن الوسط و تكون "أصلب" هههه*

نهايتها ممكن ترشيه بسكر بودر للتجميل و تاكليه مع آيس كريم أو فراولة ♡من الخارج يكون كيك و من الداخل سائل تشوكليت ♡

White Sauce Pizza

HELLO! Long time since I posted here eh!
actually, long time since I made a proper dish other than breakfast hahah! uni load is tiring :')!
anyways here is a great pizza recipe ♡ family loves it when I make them pizza especially the white sauce one *getting braggy lol* and so here it is! ;) made it for sisters class "party" yesterday!

Dough recipe :
  • 2 and a half cups flour
  • 1 tea spoon salt
  • 1 tea spoon garlic powder
  • 1 tea spoon onion powder
  • 2 table spoon sugar
  • 1 table spoon yeast
  • 1 table spoon baking powder
  • 2 table spoon corn powder (to make it crispier)
  • 2 table spoon olive oil
  • some water


  1. In a blender add the olive oil to the dry mix of everything mentioned above (except water)
  2. blend it together and slowly add water, no specifications on how much water to add you just add till it gets sticky enough (pic shows how it should look like, you also know it is ready when it stops sticking on the pot and all gathers up)
  3. keep it covered for 40 minutes then spread it to preference, I like it when the dough is very thin so I make the layer thin and light, if you like a fat dough spread it in a thicker manner to the shape of the baking tray.
While waiting for the dough to be ready make the sauce and let the toppings be ready

Sauce recipe :
  • Cooking cream
  • Garlic & herbs seasoning
  • Olive & roasmary seasoning
  • Thyme
  • black pepper
  • 1/4 tea spoon of garlic powder
  • table spoon of butter
  • table spoon cream cheese
  • A small amount of flour (about half a handful, to thicken the sauce a bit)


  1. You mix all the above ingredients under fire. The seasonings ,thyme and black pepper you can put as much as you like from, just make sure to taste the sauce to know whether to add abit of this or that.

Pizza toppings :
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • bell pepper
  • tomato 
  • beef pepperoni
  • mozarella cheese
(cut as shown in the picture)


Now that you have the dough ready and on the tray :
  1. Spread the sauce on the dough
  2. Add the pepperoni, mushroom, bell pepper, tomatos then top it with mozarella cheese.
  3. Get it into a preheated oven (heated from the bottom only) till it is done.
    *in the last 5 minutes open the upper heat.

    *To know if it is done, slightly lift up the pizza from the tray and check if the dough got a red-ish brown-ish color from under, if yes then its done.


ENJOY ♡

Smoked Chicken Mandi!

Hello! Hope you're doing well! I haven't posted here for a while now lol! Excuse me I am limited with time and hadn't had the time to cook anything new! This recipe is an old one I have done it a while ago so I apologize there aren't any pictures of the exact steps!
but it is easy to follow and really good for a delicious impressive lunch meal ;)
here we go ♡

Ingredients:
  • A whole chicken cleaned and cut into parts.
  • Onions cut into small pieces
  • garlic & ginger beaten and mixed
  • Cinnamon (1 stick), cumin, cardamoms (هيل 5-7 pieces is enough) , kurkum, black pepper & salt.
  • olive oil & red pasta sauce
  • 1&1/2 tea spoon curry powder
  • Maggi (optional)
  • rice (washed and soaked under water for about half an hour)
  • potatoes if you would like.

Steps:
  1. In a deep pot fry the onions and then add the ginger & garlic till it gets a red-ish color then add the chicken (seasoned to preference, salt & pepper )
  2. After step one wait for about 10 minutes (so that the chicken-ish flavor tones down) then add the spices (cumin, kurkum, curry powder,cardemums, cinnamon & black pepper)
  3. Add half a piece of maggi (optionary) or just salt then in the same pot pour water just enough to cover all the chicken & close on the pot with its lid.
  4. Wait until you see the chicken is cooked then remove the chicken pieces. (you will now cook the rice using this water that is in the pot.)
  5. Add the rice to the same pot. (The water mix in pot must cover all the rice)
  6. While waiting for the rice to get cooked, in a small bowl mix red pasta sauce with olive oil then grease the top of the chicken pieces with it and into the oven till the chicken has that good red-ish color from top (as shown in the picture)
    * at first the oven is heated only from the bottom part and in the last couple of minutes you close that and open the upper part of the oven.
  7.  Fry some seasoned potatoes cut into small quarters to be added to the dish. ( I used potato seasoning mix I bought from carrefour)
  8. When the water in the rice pot dries out mix the rice by bringing the bottom portion upwards and taking the upper portion downwards using a big spoon, do that every now and then.
  9. When the chicken is ready off the oven, and the rice is ready, and the potatoes are ready, you top the rice with the chicken pieces & potatoes while it is in the pot. Keep the pot under very low fire, squeeze into the rice a small cup (فنجان) of olive oil & drop in it a small piece of heated cole (فحم) as shown in the picture. You do this so that the food gets a smoked grilled flavor.
  10. Right away after doing step 9 you close on the pot with aluminum and its lid. Wait 15 minutes and your food is ready! (The aluminum must already have been set to be quickly closed, cause you don't want to lose the smoke)
  11. ENJOY ;) 
*I cooked for 3 people here so I did not use a whole chicken I used chicken breasts.
*You can eat it with a side of yogurt mixed with cucumber & black pepper.

Seems like alot of huge steps right ? but it is just alot of explanation, it really is easy stuff haha xD.
