My Jewish cooking adventure: what was cooking for Shabbos (compliments of Efi)

what was cooking for Shabbos (compliments of Efi)

What Efi was cooking for Shabbos…
No credit to me this week, that goes to my Efi who gave me the day off  as I had a challenging week at work and was not able to see the gym much,  therefore while he was cooking for Shabbos I was sweating it away on the gyms treadmill! And boy what a treat Shabbos was this week!
Efi prepared an absolutely stunning rice dish with green garden peas, this is simply done by lightly frying some onion and then adding the rice for approximately 2 mins before covering with water and turning the heat down. After 5 mins top up the liquid with chicken soup mix, add your garden peas, cover the pot with a tea towel and keep an eye on it till all the liquid has cooked away.
The main dish for the evening was ‘Jerusalem Mix’.  This was made by roughly chopped onions, potatoes and pumpkin pieces tosses in a lightly oiled pan with added rosemary, parsley and approximately 1 TBLSP Baharat spice (this is the key ingredient in this dish). As soon as the potatoes start feeling soft, the chopped chicken breast and chicken liver can be added and tossed all together until cooked through.
This was all served with the usual Israeli salad and a couple of other kosher salads picked up at the local kosher kitchen. Shabbat Shalom everyone!
