 Spaghetti 

Ingredients 

Spaghetti

Beef

Cabbage

Green Pepper

Carrots

Green peas

Green beans

Pepper and salt (to taste)

Onions

Seasoning

Before you cook the Spaghetti

Make some Tomato Stew if you do not have any

Break the spaghetti into short pieces

Cut the beef into small pieces. It is best to buy the part of beef that has streaks of fat in it as it greatly improves the taste of this recipe (optional)

Wash and cut the cabbage, green pepper and green beans into small pieces. Also wash, scrape and cut the carrots into tiny pieces

Cut the onions into small pieces and remove the green peas from the pods

If you will use tinned green peas, drain the preservation water and rinse with some fresh water.

Method

Cook the beef with the onions, thyme and seasoning

While the meat is cooking, start cooking the spaghetti in a generous amount of water

When the beef is done, add the Tomato Stew. Add the vegetables, salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 5 minutes.

When the spaghetti is done to your personal preference, drain the water and pour the mixture of beef stock and tomato stew you prepared earlier into the pot of spaghetti. Stir well, cover and leave to stand for about 5 minutes

The Spaghetti Surprise is ready to be served and can be eaten Fried Plantain.

Tips for Cooking Spaghetti

Spaghetti should be cooked with a very big pot. That is to say, the pot should contain the spaghetti and still have plenty of unused volume

Spaghetti should also be cooked in plenty of water. The quantity of water should be at least double the quantity of the spaghetti

To cook spaghetti, first of all, boil water; add a few spoons of vegetable oil to the boiling water and add the spaghetti. Stir the contents very well and cover the pot. With some spaghetti, you need to stir till the water starts to boil again before covering the pot

The large amount of water, the boiling water and the vegetable oil altogether prevent the spaghetti strands from sticking together while cooking.

 

 

 

Ginger drink

Treat yourself to a cup of piping hot ginger tea, a healthy drink that is great for digestion. Why go out and buy old tea bags when you can easily make your own homemade ginger tea at home using fresh ginger? Here’s how to make the tastiest ginger tea you’ve ever had

Ingredients

4-6 thin slices raw ginger

1 1/2 – 2 cups water

Juice from 1/2 lime, or to taste

1-2 tbsp honey to taste

Method

Peel the ginger and slice thinly to maximize the surface area. This will help you make a very flavoured ginger tea

Boil the ginger in water for at least 10 minutes. For a stronger and tangier tea, allow to boil for 20 minutes or more, and use more slices of ginger

Remove from heat and add lime juice and honey (or agave nectar) to taste.

The secret to making a really flavoured ginger tea is to use plenty of ginger – more than you think you will need – and also to add a bit of lime juice and honey to your ginger tea. You will also probably want to add more honey than you think you will need as well.
