This is the easiest poaching method I ever tried. All you need to do is get the egg poachies from home selection at arraya complex and follow the instructions:

1. Place a poachie in a cup or a mug, and break the egg inside

2. Place the poachie immediately in the simmering water and wait for 6 minutes

3. Take it off the heat and let it dry out a bit then gently shake the pouch till the egg comes out. Place it on a bun and enjoy eating it :)

Mine was toasted bread, a lil bit of Dijon mustard, turkey slices, the poached egg of course and then topped with sriracha sauce which is my current obsession :)

bon appetit!

Sometimes the best desserts are the easiest ones :)

Try this for a quick sugar fix (or over dose):

Slice strawberries and mix them with icing sugar and leave them in the fridge over night, then take a whole grain bun, cut it in half and spread a dollop of nutella and marshmallow cream, layer the strawberries on top and enjoy the phenomenal taste over a cup of milk or coffee :)

Bon appetit!

How to Make Soft Boiled Eggs

Although i love eggs, I can never have hard boiled eggs unless they’re deviled or finely chopped and mixed with something else. Egg yolks should always be soft and runny or I won’t enjoy eating them.

The best way to have soft yolks and hard egg whites is by following these steps:

- Boil some water
- Turn the heat off and place the eggs in the water for 6 minutes
- Take them off the water immediately and enjoy eating them :)

I love dipping baby asparagus in the yolks. They taste great!

*The egg in the picture was left for 7-8 minutes in the water.

Bon Appetit!

Candied Orange Peel: @pick_yo’s New Summer Flavor

A while back I was invited to taste the most amazing and refreshing flavor ever at Pick Yo. It was candied orange peel and It’s the best frozen yogurt flavor i’ve ever tried!

You can have it as topping or blended with the yogurt. My favorite is blended with the yogurt, then added on top as topping. Drizzle a tiny bit of hazelnut chocolate syrup and top it with chocolate flakes. Just simply ahhhmazing! The combination reminds me of macintosh’s quality street and takes me back to childhood :) but it’s also great by itself as well with no toppings at all.

If you are a fan of candied orange, then you’ll LOVE IT like I did.

The flavor can be found at both stores now (Kefan and Kuwait city) and is also available for delivery: #22913333

While you’re at it, try out their pistachio flavor too :)

 

Enjoy!
Basma.
