I'm not cooking on Eid, it's a holiday

On Thrusday everyone will be fasting, I'm planning to make stuffed vine leaves & lamb roast, with salad & rice on the side.

Tonight I have friends coming over for dinner, I'm cooking lasagna, puff pastry chicken bake, puff pastry cheese bake, pizza, peas & minced meal fried rice, mashroom soup, cucumber & yoghurt salad, pasta salad & caesar salad.

Eid Mubarak hun xx

OmarsMum - Can you give me the recipe for the chicken puff pastry bake? Sounds YUM!!!

As for Eid menu....It has to be lamb, obviously! And lots of it!

Eid-Al'Adha is when you sacrifice a lamb as you know, so this is on the menu for a fair few days around Eid.

Im looking forward to mums slow cooked lamb tajine which apricots, almonds and prunes.

We also have lots of sweets, cakes and biscuits and exchange gifts.

Im super excited

- 1 onion

-1/2 kg of chicken breasts
- puff pastry (the rectangular block)

- add chicken & cook on high then reduce the fire
- add the capsicums, spices, salt, pepper & stock
- cook on low for 20-30 mins
- butter the tray (I use lurpak ghee instead of butter, you can use veggie oil) spread 1/2 the dough on the kitchen counter then put it in the tray (I use Pirex/ glass oven rectangular tray)
- add the chicken mix then cheese
- spread the other 1/2 of dough over it. Cut it into squares using a wet knife
- beat the egg, & brush a thin layer on the top
- bake it in the oven for 20 mins on midium or until it rises & becomes golden (check the bottom after 15 mins)
