STUFFED PEPPERS FOR TWO



Stuffed Peppers for Two image

My husband likes stuffed peppers, but my original recipe made too many servings. I cut it down to accommodate just the two of us. It helps to use a small casserole dish so the peppers won't tip over while they bake. For color, I serve steamed carrots to round out the meal perfectly. -Elaine Carpenter, Horseshoe Bay, Texas

SPICED RICE WITH BEEF



Spiced rice with beef image

Enjoy this spiced rice with beef as part of a family feast. Seasoned with ginger, allspice, cloves and more, it has a lovely warming flavour without being too hot

Provided by hettyashiagbor

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
800g stewing beef, cut into chunks (shin, chuck or brisket work well)
1 tbsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cloves
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
8 cardamom pods
2 cinnamon sticks
8 thyme sprigs, leaves picked, or use 2 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp all-purpose seasoning (we used Dunn's River), or use an extra beef stock cube
500ml beef stock, made with 1 beef stock cube
400g basmati rice
25g butter

Steps:

  • Blitz the ginger and garlic to a paste in a small food processor. Put the beef in a large bowl and add the ginger-garlic paste, the allspice, cloves, 2 tsp black pepper and 2 tsp salt. Mix to coat the beef, then cover and leave to marinate for 30 mins. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 8 mins until soft and translucent. Tip the beef and any leftover marinade into the pan and sizzle for 10 mins until the beef starts to caramelise in places.
  • Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, thyme, all- purpose seasoning and stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 1 hr, then remove the lid and cook for another 30 mins. The beef should be tender but still holding together. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Leave to cool completely, then seal in an airtight container and freeze for up to two months.
  • Tip the rice into the beef mixture with just enough water to cover it by about 1cm. Stir, then dot the butter over the top. Cover and bake in the oven for 30 mins. Fluff the rice up with a fork and serve with Ghanaian gravy (see 'Goes well with').

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (or less)
1 egg, beaten (optional)
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (or less)
3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

Here's a concise summary of tips and conclusion about the Beef and Noodles recipe:

  • Prep work is essential: Before cooking, ensure all your ingredients are ready to go. Save time by chopping and prepping your veggies while the water boils.
  • Tenderize your meat: To achieve maximum tenderness, consider pounding or cubing your meat before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate better.
  • Use fresh herbs: If possible, use fresh herbs instead of their dry counterparts. The distinct aroma and flavors of fresh herbs can enhance the overall taste of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook your meat in batches if necessary, giving each piece enough space to brown properly. Overcrowding can result in steaming rather than searing, preventing that beautiful caramelizing effect.
  • Deglaze with red wine: Adding red wine to the pan after browning the meat enhances the overall depth of flavors. Deglazing helps reduce the acidity of the wine, contributing to a complex and flavorful result.
  • Simmer and let the flavors meld: Once all ingredients are combined, allow the dish to simmer for an extended period of time. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious balance.
  • Enrich the broth: To elevate the flavors of your broth, consider adding a dollop of Worcestershire or oyster sauces. These umami-rich sauces can enhance the overall taste profile.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This versatile dish can be paired with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with steamed rice, mashed or boiled veggies, or a hearty bread.
  • Conclusion:

      With careful preparation and a few culinary tricks, this Beef and Noodles recipe can be easily mastered. Its rich flavors, succulent meat, and perfectly al-dente noodles are sure to be a hit among family and friends. Grab your apron, follow the step-by-step instructions, and indulge in a delicious homemade meal that will leave you craving for more. The combination of silky noodles and succulent, flavorful meat is sure to please even the most discerning palates.
