OssoBuco Stew.....Dr. Osso Buco

Shin meat always seemed to have the stigma of ‘soup meat’ attached to it and needed to be upgraded to its highly respected position in Italian cuisine as Osso Buco or hollow-boned beef. The wonderful flavor imparted by the bone marrow is a special treat! Traditionally, Osso Buco is served with Ugali, Chapati, White Rice, or even Plain Pilau. Visit Dr.Ossobuco cafe at Yaya center 66 malls where you will experience the delicacy of Ossobuco plus its soup. INGREDIENTS 1.5kg 6 Ossobucco Pieces Cooking oil 2 Large Onion 4 Stalks Celery 100gm Mushroom(optional) 3 Small Carrots 6 Garlic cloves 2 Tomatoes 2-3 Royco Cubes 2 tbsp Royco Mchuzi Mix(to thicken the stew) METHOD Season your meat with salt and pepper on both sides.

Aliya (smoked meat)

Aliya (smoked meat) this is a traditional dish, we smoke and leave it in the sun for preservation, also to add taste. Ingredients 2 kg meat steak salt 2 large onions 5 medium tomatoes cooking oil Growing up I used to see my mum prepare Aliya and it was just fascinating.

Next on a large tray, you will generously add salt to your strips until it is fully covered then air your meat in a place where they can drip and slowly dry. The longer your Aliya stays dry the better the taste (Image: Shutterstock) The best thing about Aliya is it can go for months before it is cooked and the longer you wait, the tastier it will be once you de

Mandazi or Mahamri – is there any difference?

Mandazi (also known as Maandazi/Ndao and sometimes called Mahamri or Mamri) are East African doughnuts. They are also very popular for breakfast with Chai , or as a snack during the day. Often one can see vendors selling them in the street where they are made as the customer waits. As to whether there is a difference between mandazis and mahamris, the major difference is that mahamris use plain flour and yeast while mandazis use self-raising flour and no yeast (at least that is the difference in Kenya). Mandazi Recipe: Mandazi 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk 2 Tbsp. butter, melted 2 cups white flour 2 tsp. baking powder Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing them together. Mix all the ingredients together, adding more flour if necessary. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Roll the dough on a lightly floured board until it is about 1/4 inch think. Cut into triangles and fry in hot oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Remove mandazi from oil an
