Hi There,
For Dinner last night we had a favourite of mine Curried Stuffed peppers,this rec is from a wonderful Cape Malay cook called Cass Abrahams I actually used Yellow peppers instead of green as they are much sweeter........Keema and Rice
*******************6 large green peppers
1 large onion, chopped
6 sprigs fresh coriander, chopped
6 sprigs fresh mint, chopped
1 green Chile, chopped
10 ml (2 tsp) crushed garlic
5 ml (1 tsp) crushed root ginger
10 ml (2tsp) masala
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) cooked Rice
salt to taste
500 g (1 lb )beef mince, cooked
125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
2 large tomatoes, crushed
4 eggs, boiled and shelled
coriander leaves for garnishing

Cut lids of peppers, scoop out the seeds and set aside. Add onion,
coriander, mint, chili, garlic, gander, masala, rice and salt to mince and
mix well. Fill peppers with this mixture. Heat oil in a saucepan and placed
stuffed peppers and tomatoes slices in the oil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan
with a tightly-fitting lid and simmer over low heat until cooked through.
Halve eggs and arrange in the saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes. Garnish with
coriander leaves before serving.

With it I served..........SOUR CREAM CUCUMBERS

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 scant tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives or a grating of onion
1 teaspoon dill weed (or 2 TBL chopped fresh dill, head and fronds)
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 firm fresh cucumbers

Dissolve salt and sugar in vinegar, add sour cream and stir smooth. You may
like more or less vinegar, salt or sugar, but don't make the dressing too
sweet. Add chives, dill and celery seed. Slice the unpared cucumbers
paper-thin and combine with the dressing. Sour cream cucumbers improve in
taste as they stand, so make and chill at least one day in advance of
serving. The flavor of the cucumbers seeps into the dressing. Drain and
serves 4 to 6.Pineapple Confetti Cole Slaw4 cups green cabbage, shredded
