Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until the dough feels elastic; about 6 to 8 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

apple pie (recipe)

Baking an All-American apple pie only takes 6 ingredients and about an hour and 15 minutes. Make this pie for special occasions, holidays or just at home with your family.

You will need the following ingredients:

• 2 pie crusts
• 4-5 apples, washed
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp butter
• cinnamon
• nutmeg

Just to clarify for the new baker, by "2 pie crusts," I mean one round crust for the bottom of the pie, and one round crust for the top of the pie. If you buy a frozen crust, they normally come with one pie pan and two crusts. If you are buying the pie crusts without the pie tin, or if you're making your own pie crust, then you will also need a pie pan.

Start by placing the bottom pie crust in your pie pan. Then, core, peel and slice the apples. As you slice the apples, place the slices directly into the pie pan. After you have finished with the apples, pre-heat your oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take the butter, and slice off small bits of the butter directly on top of the apples. Then sprinkle the 1/2 cup sugar and spices over the butter and apples. Use about 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and one tablespoon of nutmeg.

Carefully place the top crust over the pie filling, and crimp the edges down to seal the top crust with the bottom crust. You can do this with a fork or your fingers. Make 6-9 one inch slashes through the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Make cinnamon sugar by mixing the tablespoon of sugar with a couple of dashes of cinnamon, and sprinkle it lightly over the top crust. It needs to be light because otherwise the sugar will char during baking. Bake 45 minutes until the crust is brown and the fruit is soft. Let cool and enjoy!

kakori kebab

Kakori kebabs are both tasty and very easy to make. If you are looking for an authentic Indian kebab recipe that will impress your family and friends, this could be it. These kebabs can be cooked on the barbecue or in a frying pan but they should really be cooked on the barbecue grill for best results.

As with all good Indian recipes, the secret to success is in the ingredients. Try to find the freshest ingredients possible. This should not be difficult with this recipe as all of the ingredients are easily found in most grocery stores.

Kakori kebabs are great served as a starter or as a main course.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

900g (1 lbs.) minced (ground) lamb

5 cloves garlic - smashed

1 inch piece of ginger - roughly chopped

125ml (1/2 cup) cashew nuts

1 tablespoon red chilli powder

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 tablespoon garam masala - preferably homemade

3 tablespoons ghee/clarified butter

salt and pepper

Method

Place the garlic, ginger, cashew nuts, chilli powder, poppy seeds, garam masala and two tablespoons of the ghee/butter in a food processor with 100ml of water.

Blend to a smooth paste. This could take a couple of minutes.

Place the ground lamb in a bowl and pour the paste over it.

Work the paste into the lamb with your hands ensuring the meat is very well coated.

Cover the bowl and allow to marinate in the fridge for three to 24 hours. The longer the better.

To Cook

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat.

Set the remaining butter near the grill so that it melts.

With wet hands, thread the kebabs over metal or wood skewers and press them into sausage shapes.

If you want, you could just form the lamb into patties. In fact, if you are frying these in a pan, patties are easier to fry.

Place the kebabs over the grill. Baste while they are cooking with the ghee/butter.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes turning regularly.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I recommend serving kakori kebabs with a yogurt raita or mint chutney
