Another cooking spree
Saturday, October 20, 2007
Made shepherd's pie following Gordon Ramsay's Fast food recipe, using minced lamb (approximately 800g) slowly simmered in 250ml of red wine with a handful of thyme and rosemary. The stew was robust and flavourful.
I also prepared a pot of 'ayam masak merah' or 'bubur rojak', a recipe passed down from our late beloved 'mama', who was a truly fantastic cook. One of my favourite dishes was her assam laksa and mama would always be so happy just to watch me polish off two big bowls of the laksa.
This recipe calls for 2 egg yolks to be added to the mashed potato and this resulted in a nice and creamy consistency of the topping (without the added calories from double cream). Yummy and we paired the meal with a full bodied Chilean wine.

I have always wondered why mama named this dish bubur rojak as there is no resemblance to any bubur (porridge) or rojak! This is one of Co's all time favourite dish and I think mama would have approved of it too. It had the right amount of spiciness and the gravy was delicious over white rice.
