Turkey Pathiri- a lip smacking snack...

First time I heard about this dish around 2 yrs ago in a cookery program.The name sounded unique and  I found it interesting. At that time I didn’t try but during Ramzan fasting I thought of trying this out.



This is a traditional malabar snack. This is basically an egg stuffed puri inside another minced chicken stuffed puri. We can make as many layers as we like.  The filling can be of egg / meat or sweet coconut, even though the name sounds like an out and out meat dish. I am sure children will go crazy over this delicacy.  Just try this…

  1. Chicken Mince- 1 Cup
  2. Onions- 1no
  3. Ginger garlic paste- 1 tbsp

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
