For Sunday lunch I wanted to make something special. Didn't have much in the fridge so I used some sweet red peppers and zucchini to stuff a 1 kg breast of turkey...

Ingredients:
Serves 4-6

-  1 kg breast of turkey.


-  3 sweet red peppers cut julienne.

-  3 zucchini cut julienne.
-  1 Tbsp. zaatar.
-  2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar.
-  2 Tbsp. powdered mustard.
-  1 Tbsp. grape juice molasses.
-  2 Tbsp. olive oil.
-  1 tsp. corn flour to thicken sauce.
-  Butcher's twine or net.





Method:

-  Preheat your oven at 150 degrees C with air.
-  Cut open breast of turkey by setting it shiny smooth face down, the lower part facing you.
-  Open breast thin and flat.



-  Sprinkle the zaatar all over the surface facing you.

-  Place red peppers and zucchini julienne in the center.

-  Roll as tight as  possible, and insert in net.
-  Sprinkle and pat surface of the roll of turkey with powdered mustard
-  Sprinkle freshly ground green pepper, salt, oil, dry sage, balsamic vinegar, and grape juice molasses.


-  Roast for 1½ hours with air at 150 degrees Celsius.


-  Take out from oven let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.


-  Thicken sauce with some corn flour. (I think I over did it here).



Bon Appétit,
Stelio

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup. There is special wooden utensil the Sudanese use. Ingredients: - 1 kg bamia Lady's fingers or Okra. - 1 kg beef or lamb bone free. - 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes cut in quarters. - 1 big onion roughly cut. - 6 cloves of garlic finely cut. -
