Dalam bahasa indonesia karena udah banyak yang tulis. Dapet resepnya dari buku "Les Halles Cookbook", pinjem dari National Library of Singapore. Steak dari daging mentah ini wuenakkk buanget. Seperti makan salad, tapi ada daging mentah. Rasanya asem asem asin tapi ada lunak lunak dingin daging sapi giling. Bikin steak ini persis sebelum dihidangkan, dan daging sapinya harus sesegar mungkin.

Ingredients:
2 kuning telur
2 sdm mustard Dijon
4 filet anchovy cincang

1 sdt saos inggris
saos tabasco sesuai selera
merica hitam butiran, ulek / giling, sesuai selera

60 gram acar capers (apa ya bahasa indonesianya)
60 gram acar timun kecil2 (gherkins / cornichon), cincang
4 batang peterseli, cincang
600 gram daging steak sirloin. cincang pakai pisau sampe halus. Kalau males sih boleh beli daging yg udah cincang sih. Tapi idealnya dicincang sendiri pake pisau.

* French fries, optional
* 4 slices fine quality white bread, toasted, quartered, for toast points

Directions:
1. Masukkan kuning telur

Koncinya ada di kaldu. Gimana bikin kaldu?
1. Bakar bawang dan jahe bareng kulitnya mpe item (misalnya, dibungkus alumunium foil trus ditaro di kompor). Trus kupas kulit item di bawang dan jahe.
2. Masukkan air dingin ke panci bareng tulang sekedar menutupi tulang. Tunggu mpe mendidih di api sedang, lantas biarkan mendidih 2-3 menit. Buang airnya, bilas tulang pake air dingin. Step ini untuk bikin kaldu yg jernih.

Resepnya sih dasarnya dari Inong, tapi daging ayam diganti pake ceker... jadinya ada tulang rawan, tendon, kulit, lemak, dan daging sekaligus..

Ingredients:
Bisa diliat di http://dapurbunda.blogspot.com/2005/10/mie-ayam-bakso-jamur-special-banged.html
Tapi daging ayam diganti dengan ceker. 800-900 gram ceker bisa jadi 500 gram daging ceker.

Directions:
Arahannya sama dengan sini http://dapurbunda.blogspot.com/2005/10/mie-ayam-bakso-jamur-special-banged.html , kira2.

Ceker diolahnya begini:

Sebelum ngerebus ceker, bersihin ceker dari kulit luarnya dan potong kuku ayamnya dulu (jijik bgt tuh kuku bekas korek2 tanah). Trus hantam tulang ceker pake ulekan supaya retak dan sumsum ceker keluar pas lagi direbus.

Terus kan cekernya direbus sesuai instruksi Inong.

Abis itu mulai kerjaan yg malesin: misahin daging2 ceker dari tulangnya. Karena udah direbus memang ga susah2 amat sih misahinnya, cuman ya ngabisin waktu aja, kayak ngoperasi ayam. Pokonya yang diambil bagian kulit daging dan tulang rawannya. Tulang keras dibuang ajah.

Sisanya ikuti instruksi Inong.

Just a quick recipe to cook a chunk of salmon I bought from supermarket today. I think salmon goes well with sweet-sour sauce...

Ingredients:
400 grams salmon fillet, cut into four pieces
2 Lemon
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of Butter
Rosemary leaves
4 tbs White cooking wine
1/2 cup Water or chicken stock
Sugar to taste
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
1. Cut salmon into four pieces, season with salt and lemon juice and spread chopped garlic on top of it, let it be marinated for 30 minutes.

2. Put butter into pan, let it melt over small fire

3. Grill salmon with the garlic over small fire, one side at the time, until it is slightly browned. You need to only turn it once or else the salmon will crumble away.. Once it's nicely done, put the salmon away from the pan and into the plate.

4. Into the same pan that was used to grill the salmon, pour in the water / chicken stock, white wine, rosemary, sugar, pepper, and salt. Let it boil for a while.

5. To serve, get one piece of salmon and pour the sauce over it.

This is inspired by my previous Pilaf recipe. Mainly I made this fried rice for two reasons:

1. Noe has been refusing vegetable for more than one week, but is in love with fried rice. I make this spinach fried rice so that he won't be able to avoid vegetable anymore.
2. I want to make use of leftovers in the fridge

This recipe is healthy: mix of fiber (spinach), iron (spinach), protein (chicken), carbohydrate (rice), and fat (butter). It's easy and fast to cook too.

Update: Noe loves this fried rice! Yay!

Ingredients:
1 bowl of leftover rice
3 clove of garlic, chopped
1 bunch of basil leaves, chopped
1 bunch of spinach leaves, chopped
1 tbs butter (plus if you have, some seasoned chicken fat. I have chicken fat as leftover from my Yucatan chicken recipe)
1/2 small plate of leftover roast chicken breast, chopped
Oregano, pepper, to taste
Salt or chicken stock cube, to taste

Directions:
Melt butter. Enter garlic and basil, then stir fry chicken (and chicken fat). Then put the chopped spinach, stir fry until it is cooked. Mix in rice, salt, oregano, pepper, and stir fry to desirable doneness.
