Now we go over to Radio Jem's Cookery department :-D :-D :-D
Here are two Traditional Welsh Potato RecIpes
TATWS PUM MUNUD (Five Minute Potatoes)
This is a very traditional dish that can be served as a starter, a side dish even a main meal. At one time this was very much a staple of the Welsh diet when every smallholding had a potato patch and a pig.
INGREDIENTS:
20 Small White Potatoes
6 Slices of Bacon
275mls Chicken Stock (or Vegetable stock)
1 Onion, finely chopped
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
METHOD:
Begin by finely slicing the POTATOES
Then, in a pan, brown the BACON before setting the rashers aside
Add the STOCK, ONIONS and POTATOES until the potato slices are just tender (about 8 minutes :-S ;-) :-D)
Season with the SALT and PEPER, then layer the BACON on top of the potatoes to reheat them
Plate out the potatoes and add the bacon before serving
TATWS POPTY (Potatoes in the Oven)
A Traditional North Walian Dish
INGREDIENTS:
1.8kg Potatoes, thickly sliced
30g Butter or Oil
15g Flour
225g Onions, thickly sliced
400mls Water
Salt and Black Pepper to taste.
METHOD:
Put the butter or oil into the bottom of a roasting dish.
Place half the potatoes in a layer on the bottom of the dish.
Add the seasoning to the flour and sprinkle over the potatoes.
Arrange the onions on top.
Add the remaining Potato Slices in a layer on the top.
Pour on just enough water to come up to the level of the potatoes.
Cover with foil and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C.
Bake for about 1 Hr 40 mins (remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking to brown the top of the dish).
Serve with meat and vegetables.
BLASUS IAWN! ... DELICIOUS :-) :-)

Back to the Cooking Studio again!
Let's look at some South African recipes now!
BOBOTIE (from the Cape)
Serves 4-6
There are many variations of this recipe. Experimenting with your favourite spices is recommended.
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef (750 g minced meat) or 1 1/2lbs Lamb (750 g minced meat)
Oil (for frying)
2 slices White Bread, normal thickness
1/2 cup Milk (125 ml)
1 large Onions or 2 smaller Onions
4 teaspoons Curry Powder very mild (Cape Malay is the best)
1 tablespoon Breyani spices, generous, crushed* (see note below)
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
1 Tomato, ripe, peeled and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1 Apple, peeled and coarsely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated Lemon Rind
1/4-1/2 cup Seedless Raisins (optional)
2 teaspoons Salt
2 tablespoons Apricot Jam
1 Egg
3/4 cup Milk (200 ml)
12 -16 Almonds, whole, blanched (or use split almonds)
Extra
1 Egg
1/2 cup Milk
1/3 teaspoon Turmeric
METHOD:
*It might not be easy to find the breyani mix of spices you can get in South Africa.
But it is only a mix of some or all of the following spices, which you could mix yourself and crush or process coarsely: fennel seeds, coriander seeds, cumin, pimento berries, cardamom, black pepper, star anise, bay leaves and cassia or cinnamon sticks.
Set oven at 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius For fan/convection ovens the heat can be 10 deg. lower.
In a small bowl, tear up the slices of bread roughly, and pour over the ½ cup milk. Set aside.
Peel and chop the onion. Heat about 3 tablespoons oil in a large pot. Fry the onion over medium heat until translucent.
Add the curry powder, coarsely crushed breyani spices and turmeric. Stir, and let the spices fry for a few minutes. Add more oil if they stick: usually quite a bit of oil is needed.
Add the chopped, peeled tomato, sugar, grated apple and lemon rind and stir through. Fry for a minute, then add the meat.
Break up the meat so that the ground meat is loose. Add the salt. Stir often, and mix through with the spice mixture.
Add the apricot jam, and stir so it melts into the meat mixture.
When the meat is sort of medium done, remove the pot from the heat. Stir through and let cool a little.
Take the bread which has been soaking in the milk, and break it up into wet crumbs. The bread will have absorbed all the milk. Add the milky crumbs to the meat mixture, and mix through.
Break the egg in a bowl, whisk, and add the milk.
Add this milk-egg mixture to the meat as well.
Turn into a greased oven dish, and stud with almonds on top. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
Whisk the last egg with the milk and enough turmeric to turn the mixture a nice yellow colour.
Take the meat out of the oven, pour over the custard, and bake about 15 minutes longer, or until the egg custard has set.
Serve with Yellow Rice , a green vegetable such as broccoli, and a salad.
After tasting the bobotie, feel free to play around with the spices next time!
SOUTH AFRICAN YELLOW RICE
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 4
Calories per serving: 290
This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup long grain rice
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Turmeric
3 tablespoons White Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Dark Seedless Raisins
1 tablespoon Butter
2 1/2 cups Water
METHOD:
In a saucepan, combine the rice, salt, turmeric, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, butter and water. Bring to a boil uncovered.
When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is fluffy and water has been absorbed.
Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork. Keep warm until serving time.
If anyone tries these recipes out, please tell us on this thread all about it! :-) :-)
