Polo Ingredients:
500g (2 cups) medium-grained rice ¾ cup oil 2 medium-sized onions 250g lamb 500g carrots (3 large carrots) 1 ½ - 2 cups water Salt to taste
Methods: 1.
Wash the rice in a bowl 2-3 times to completely eliminate the husk. The water becomes clearer as the husk is washed away. After washing leave the rice in the bowl filled with warm water.
2.
Peel and wash the onions and carrots.
3.
Cut the meat into large cubes and finely slice the onions.
4.
Slice the carrots on an angle to get thin, long ovals. After the whole carrot has been sliced at an angle stack the slices 3-4 high and slice them into straight sticks.
5.
Heat the pot with the oil. Once heated carefully add the meat and stir-fry until brown.
6.
Add the onions to the pot and continue stir-frying until the onions become goldenbrown. Add a teaspoon of salt.
7.
Add the carrots and another teaspoon of salt and stir-fry well till the carrots soften.
8.
Take the bowl containing the rice and carefully tilt to pour out water. Once the rice is completely drained of water it can be added to the stir-fry.
9.
Without stirring the rice add it on top of the stir-fry and use the back of the spatula to smooth it out evenly.
10. Pour the water on top of the rice evenly and close the lid of the pot. Leave on low heat for 5 minutes. 11. Uncover the pot and carefully using the spatula flip over the entire layer of rice facing down so that it now faces up. Firmly press over the top of the rice with the back of the spatula and spread it out evenly. 12. Using a chopstick poke a hole all the way through the rice to the bottom of the pot in order to allow the water to boil through to the rice. Place a few holes equally across the rice. 13. Place the lid on top of the pot and leave to cook for twenty minutes. 14. Once cooked thoroughly mix the rice, carrots and meat and serve hot. 20

Sawza Yuta Ingredients:
Ingredients for Petir Khemir (see page 26)
4 carrots 1 bunch of coriander 4 tbsp margarine 2 tbsp thickened cream Oil
Methods: 1. Make petir khemir (see page…) and split into two portions. 2. On a large, clean bench top sprinkle some flour and using a rolling pin roll one portion of the dough into a large circle. Make sure the dough is thin and even.
3. Grate the carrots in a bowl. 4. Finely chop the coriander. 5. On a large surface, preferably the dining table, place a large, clean table cloth. 6. Spread the dough out on to the table cloth and gently stretch around the edge. 7. In a small bowl melt the margarine. 8. Add the cream to the melted margarine and stir well. 9. Drizzle the margarine and cream over the dough and with your hand spread evenly. Use bit by bit to ensure you do not use too much. If your dough is large and thin enough you will most likely use up the amount that you have melted. 10. Sprinkle all the carrots and coriander over the dough evenly. 11. Picking up one end of the table cloth at each corner, lift it slowly and allow the dough to roll completely to the end. 12. Prepare food steamer by boiling water in the bottom layer. 13. Oil one layer of a food steamer and carefully place the rolled Sawza Yuta into a loose coil shape. 14. Steam for 20 minutes. 15. Transfer cooked Sawza Yuta to a large serving plate, cut into roughly 5cm lengths and serve hot.

2. Finely slice the ginger, garlic, spring onion and chop up the swantayza into small pieces. 3. In a pot or wok heat the oil. 4. Add the meat and stir-fry. Allow for the meat to slightly brown before adding the spring onion, garlic and teaspoon of salt; continue stir-frying. 5. Stir in the cooking caramel sauce and add the tomatoes and tomato paste; continue stir-frying. 6. Add the Chinese cabbage and stir-fry well for 2-3 minutes then add the swantayza. 7. Add another teaspoon of salt and stir-fry for another minute. 8. Add the capsicum to the stir-fry and just mix together and turn off heat. Cover the pot. 9. Fill a medium-sized pot with water, add 2 teaspoons of salt and boil. 10. Once the water has boiled add the Qoldama and close the lid of the pot. 11. When the Qoldama has boiled mix to avoid the Qoldama getting stuck at the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 4-5 minutes and taste to check if Qoldama has cooked. 12. Drain the Qoldama and rinse once in cold water. 13. Turn the heat back on to the pot containing the stir-fry and add the Qoldama to it. Mix well and serve hot. Note: Potatoes are an excellent addition to the stir-fry. Just dice 1-2 potatoes depending on size and add to the stir-fry after the tomatoes. Tip: Qoldama can be pre-prepared and frozen for quick and easy use when you’re busy. You can take it out at the time of cooking; no need to melt, and put it straight into a pot of boiling water and cook as you would pasta.

Gush Nan
(continue)
Methods: 12. Tip about 2/3 of the mince on top of one layer of dough and spread out evenly, leaving 2cm around the edge to form a crust. 13. Place the other layer of dough on top and carefully stretch around the edge so that the two layers of dough touch. 14. Lightly press all over the top of the Gush Nan to avoid air bubbles when cooking. 15. Using your thumb and index finger pinch the edge of the two layers of dough and fold in on the top layer and press down. Continue this all around the edge.
16. Carefully flip over Gush Nan on to your hands and place in frying pan. 17. Once you can see the crust turn a golden-brown using a spatula flip over the Gush Nan by placing the spatula under the full length of the Gush Nan and placing you hand over the top. 18. When both sides have cooked well, the Gush Nan is ready to be served. Note: Gush Nan can be made with the filling of your choice. Essentially Gush Nan is made with a meat and onion filling, but you can add your favourite vegetables. You can replace mushrooms with a carrot, tomatoes or even capsicum. If you wish to use carrot grate it into the mince. Also, if you find making a full, round Gush Nan is difficult to cook, you can use one base and make a half Gush Nan or a semi-circle by covering half the base with mince and folding the other half over the top.
