Flied Lice At Last!

After 4 months in Dubai, I have coooked fried rice at last! Waiting this long was pretty shameful of me since i come from an Asian background.

It's a great recipe to use up left over ingredients in. There was no encouragement needed for Aidan and Belal to chow this dish down.

Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad

This is a easy meal for summer cos there's minimal cooking involved. The dish is served room temperature or chilled. Summer in Dubai involves enough sweating without having to perspire when you’re merely eating!

All you need is cooked pasta, smoked salmon, green beans or snow peas, frozen peas, whole mustard, coriander or parsley, mayonnaise or salad dressing.

Wait until the pasta is cool, give all the ingredients a mix and chow down or you can chill the pasta salad in the fridge before eating.

Beef & Vegetable Couscous

It's fantastic how versatile couscous is. It looks similar to rice but it doesn’t have the same filling effect like rice does.

We always have a box in the pantry just incase we’re stumped as to what to cook for dinner. That’s when the trusty old couscous makes it’s appearance and we’ll serve it with sautéed meat and veggies. It saves the day every time!
