Cheesy Pork Wrap

Sooo who doesn't love a fast, easy lunch. For those in favour say: "Ay"! One  Sunday brunch time me and my LDNboy were wondering what to cook that is fast, easy and mouth watering and here is how our Cheesy Pork Wrap was born.

INGREDIENTS:

for the WRAP:

for 2 wraps:

200g flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp sunflower oil

1/2 tsp baking soda

for the FILLING:

300g pulled pork

2 diced tomatoes

1/2 grated cucumber

50g cream cheese

2 leaves sliced cabbage

PREPARATION:

Mix in a bowl the flour, salt, sugar, oil and baking soda. Leave for 10 mins to rest. Meanwhile heat a frying pan with a spoon of oil. Divide the mixture in two  and roll out into approximately 20cm wide circles.  Place in the pan. Turn the wrap after 5 mins.

After the wrap has cooled down put the filling in, roll and eat them wraps. Oh, I almost forgot smear some of that cream cheese on the inner part of the wrap. :) And there you are Arabi-wrappie-esc :) You can also add fries, because who says no to fries.

Always yours,

Honey I'm Home

It has been three months since I have blogged about food, but reality is I have been far too busy living my  life than writing about food... Well, not really, I have just been to lazy, but here I am ready to amaze again with a carrot cake that went far beyond my humble expectations and gave birth to contradictory speculations about rabbits and Easter.

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs

175g sugar

200ml sunflower oil

200g coarsely grated carrots

225g wholemeal flour

1tsp baking soda

2tsp cinnamon

115g chopped walnuts

 and for the TOPPING:

115g half-fat cream cheese

4tbsp butter (softened)

85g icing sugar

1tsp grated lemon rind

PREPARATION:

In  a mixing bowl beat the eggs until well blended and add the sugar and oil. You should mix that very well. Add the grated carrot, sift in the flour, baking soda and spices. Then add the walnuts. Mix until well incorporated. Grease and line 20cm round cake tin. Spread the mixture into the tin and bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven, 190C fan for 40-50 minutes, until the cake is nicely risen, firm to the touch and has began to shrink away slightly from the edges of the thin. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. 

To make the topping put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat together for 2-3mins, until really smooth. 

When the cake is completely cold spread with the topping, smooth over with a fork.

 So this is it no fuss and easy as usual. I hope you enjoy it!

Always yours,
