Tajeen Jban is one of the most popular appetizers in Tunisia and Libya, it’s very similar to the Italian Frittata or a thick Spanish tortilla de patatas, but with more ingredients.

It’s a traditional Tunisian recipe for a classic stew of mutton, onion and tomato in a base flavoured with Arabic flavours that is thickened with a cheese and breadcrumb blend, topped with eggs and finished by baking. Unlike Moroccan tajines, a tajine in Tunisia usually refers to a kind of "quiche", without a crust, made with beaten eggs, grated cheese, meat and various vegetable fillings, and baked like a cake.

• 200g minced meat
• 1 Potato, finely diced
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 250g grated cheese
• 4-5 eggs
• 1 Tbs tomato paste
• 1 Tbs stale breadcrumbs
• parsley, handful
• salt & pepper
• 1 Tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp ground turmeric

Heat cooking oil in a frying pan, add the diced potatoes, when cooked remove and set aside on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Season the minced meat with salt, pepper, ground turmeric and ground cinnamon then mix in the breadcrumbs, parsley and tomato paste and fry until browned on all sides.
Beat the eggs and in a separate bowl, put the cooked diced potatoes and beaten eggs with the cheese and mix well, then add the cooked minced meat mixture and give it one good last mix.

pre-heat the oven to 180°, in the meantime grease the baking tray and pour the mixture and bake for around 15-20 minutes or until you can insert a knife in the middle of the ”tajeen” and it comes out clean, before the last few minutes sprinkle some grated cheese on top.

 

Let rest and slice into squares. The best thing about this dish it’s like an omelette, use whatever you prefer you can always use chicken, or add black olives, mushrooms, eggplant, or bell peppers… feel free

This is a classic peanut brittle that is easy to make! All you need is to be quick to make this recipe, so have all the ingredients for this recipe measured and ready.
For anyone with a sweet tooth on your list, there’s nothing sweeter (literally) than the gift of home-made peanut brittle, you can always use almonds.

• 2 cups unsalted peanuts
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup golden corn syrup
• 1 cup water
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

  Combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. After the sugar has completely dissolved (about 5 minutes), add the corn syrup and salt. Stir the mixture constantly until it begins to boil.

Add the peanuts and stir until the mixture starts bubbling. Remove saucepan from the stove. Then quickly mix in the butter, baking soda and peanut butter. Beat until the butter has melted. It hardens very quickly, so be ready to stir in the peanuts and baking soda immediately.

Pour the mixture onto a parchment-covered pan. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula, be sure to spread the candy out as evenly as possible on the baking sheet before the sugar is too hard to handle.

Allow the mixture to cool for at least half an hour. Break it up into pieces and it’s ready to eat!

You know the saying; if you play with fire you’ll get burned? Well, it’s true, and the proof is in the kitchen.

Growing up my mum used to put either coffee or toothpaste on my burns, and it works like magic. I’m sure a few of you have heard of some of these food remedies before (and maybe even tried them). While I’m not a doctor here and not recommending in any way, that you try these at home if it’s a major burn (going to the doctors and over the counter medicine is a safer solution)

If you’ve spent time in the kitchen cooking, I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of run-ins with a hot oven or a scorching pan that resulted in a burn. – I had many times- While a serious burn should be treated professionally at the hospital, most people find their own home remedies when it comes to minor burns, here I will mention the food that you can use to treat minor burns.

I am curious as to what you think of these home remedies. Are they a good idea for treating an injury? Do you have a better remedy that didn’t make the list? Share it with us.

• Honey:-

Honey is another home remedy that keeps coming up as a cure for minor burns — only this one may actually have some scientific backing. While more studies need to be done, it seems that honey may shorten the healing time of a burn.

• Vinegar:-

Vinegar, which has also been said to soothe bug bites, is supposed to help with the pain from a cooking burn as well. Apply it with a damp kitchen cloth.

 

• Raw Potato:-

Some believe that a freshly cut potato can alleviate the pain of a minor burn. Could it be the cold liquid that’s emitted from the potato is responsible or the pain relief? (a similar result to putting a burn under cold running water.)

• Tea Bags:- 

Apparently tea can do more than just calm you. Some people use a cold cup of tea on minor burns, alternating between the actual tea beverage and the used bag.

• Onion Juice:-

It has to be taken from a freshly cut onion and should be applied to a minor burn right away. People have said that it calms the pain and prevents blistering.

• Tomato:-

A sliced tomato is said to heal the pain from a burn. Some say it’s the naturally-occurring lycopene that does the trick

• Baking Soda:-

Baking soda will help your baked goods rise. It’ll also kill the odour in your fridge. But can it help heal minor burns? Some people believe that a baking soda paste (made with water) will stop the pain.

• Egg White:-

You could use your egg whites for your kitchen burns. Some say that applying egg whites to a minor burn will relieve the pain and possibly help with scarring as well.

What happens when England’s most Football player and Famous chef, team up to open a restaurant? Reservation madness.

More than 1,200 diners had grabbed seats at David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant, the Union Street Café within half an hour of its website going live. Within four hours, 2,500 diners had been booked in and Friday and Saturday nights were almost fully booked until early November.

The Mediterranean-themed eatery is set to open its doors on 16th of September in central London and the celebrity football player and celebrity chef have been overwhelmed by bookings since it started taking reservations last week

The food will be cooked in an open theatre-style kitchen so diners could watch the chefs in action. The first pictures of Ramsay and Beckham’s, Restaurant Union Street Cafe are bound to cause excitement amongst the foodies.

Union Cafe is reportedly fully booked until November

The tables do not have the white table clothes which are associated with higher end dining, perhaps suggesting that it had been decided to make the restaurant slightly more modern and accessible.

The pictures show blue leather seating and industrial style light fittings

The building seems to incorporate an old industrial feel with artwork on the bare walls

The design also seemed to be incorporating the buildings industrial past as a warehouse by leaving the walls relatively bare with blue leather chairs as a contrast.

The cool new restaurant is in an old warehouse type building in London

The football celebrity joined Ramsay in his latest food venture as a new business project after retiring from football and with the buzz surrounding these new opportunities. Becks is definitely keeping himself busy off the field.

David was spotted visiting the site with wife Victoria

The Restaurant which is set to open on Monday 16th September is described on its website as:

‘’An urban warehouse destination near Borough, offering quality Mediterranean inspired food with a daily changing menu, prepared in an open theatre style kitchen. Serving fresh, seasonal produce from local suppliers including nearby Borough market, as well as directly sourced artisan ingredients from the Mediterranean’’

Union Street Café will open at 47-51 Great Suffolk Street, London SE1 0BS on 16 September. www.gordonramsay.com/union-street-cafe

This was something I made when I only had 20 minutes to prepare my dinner, came up with this Asian inspired steamed baked Basa parcel, very simple to make and totally delicious.

• Basa Fillet (or any fish)
• Chilli pepper
• Ginger
• Garlic
• 2 Tbs soy sauce
• 1 Tbs vinegar
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• Spring onions
• Bok choy (or any green veggie you prefer)
• Mushroom (optional)
• Aluminium foil or parchment paper 

  Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Finely chop the ginger, chilli and garlic then combine in to a bowl to make the base of our marinate and then add soy sauce, vinegar and oil and give it a good mix. Essentially this is our marinate for the fillet.

Chop the spring onions and bok choy, now spread the sheets on the table and place the vegetables, then lay the fillet on top and finally spoon the marinate all over the fillet. Now all you need to do is wrap the parcel, fold all the corners, so its tightly closed and no steam or marinate will escape.

Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes(depending on the size of the fillet) until the parcel puffs up and the fish is perfectly cooked.

Once cooked, place the bag on a serving plate and gently pierce to release the steam. Serve with some rice noodles for a really light and healthy dinner!

* Here I haven’t gave precise measurements, as I want to you have fun with this recipe and add as much or as little ingredients you like and feel free to use any other vegetables.

• ½ a bunch of fresh coriander
• 400g crab meat
• 4 sheets of filo pastry (Phyllo)
• Olive oil
• 2 Tsp harissa (Tunisian hot chili sauce)

Finely chop spring onions and coriander and mix in a bowl with the crab meat and harissa.

Lay out a sheet of filo pastry, add some of the mixture and fold it to make your parcels, make sure to fold in the sides, and then fold them up so no filling falls out. Repeat until you have finished all of the crab mixture.

Put the oil into the pan (medium heat), then add the parcels and keep an eye on them until golden and crisp on both sides.
