The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Can’t decide whether to make a grilled kabab or an egg in a hole? Make both!
Two of my favorite food groups—eggs and toast—unite in this take on the playful dish also known as egg in a hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat or, more simply, egg in toast. I fancy it up by filling the bread center with mince crust and topping with basil or chili flakes. And It came out so delicious!

Egg in-a-hole – Look at that perfect texture !!

For this recipe, I used a normal mince kabab mixture for filling the bread , to keep it low carb. The outside was crunchy and crispy and inside was so juicy and tasted so good with the egg in the middle. A nice way to add some more protein to a sandwich, while also providing something of a sauce from the egg yolk (depending on how you cook your egg). It’s adds just a little oomph of flavor to the sandwich.

Watch carefully as you cook the mince crust, and don’t raise the heat higher than medium: The goal is for the mince crust to brown and the egg to set simultaneously. Save the crust center for making breadcrumbs.

Also how well the eggs must be cooked is a personal choice. Some like over easy, sunnyside up or completely cooked through. No matter how you make it, this will remain a favorite breakfast option passed on for many generations to come. When you make this cute breakfast-for-dinner recipe, you can vary it by using cheese, vegetables or sauteed Spinach in place of the mince filling.

This Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe can be an excellent addition to a healthy weight loss diet. They’re not only low-carb and low in calories but also high in protein and fiber that keep you feeling full.

I’m really excited to share this recipe with you.

Keema Macaroni (Mince Macaroni)

Pasta, for me, is the ultimate comfort food. I love anything to do with pasta or macaroni, as they are my go-to on my lazy days. Today i am sharing a super easy Keema Macaroni recipe for busy weeknight Meals. One dish I make quite frequently when I have some mince is this one. Nice and simple, full of flavors.

Photo: Keema Macaroni ( Mince Macaroni)

This ain’t your ordinary pasta. With flavors bursting out from every corner, this one is delicious! To make it more unique and give a distinct flavor, I have used my ever favorite Italian Pasta Sauce.

Photo: Keema Macaroni ( Mince Macaroni)

You can use any macaroni for this recipe, but I totally recommend trying elbow or something that can help hold all of those tiny pieces of mince. I used my favorite whole wheat pasta. Cook it al dente according to package instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, saute up an onion and mince until cooked. Then add in some garlic, herb seasoning and pasta sauce. And once the pasta is cooked, drain and add it to the saute pan. I would add a dollop cheese or mayonnaise to make it more moist and gulp it down!

Isn’t that to easy?? Easy enough even for a weekday night? Of Course Yes!!

Photo: Keema Macaroni ( Mince Macaroni)

This is a really delicious pasta dish and the taste of the basil really comes through beautifully. The minced meat balances out the starch of the macaroni really well. A perfect dance of herb and spice ensues in your mouth…That you have to experience!

As you can see, the recipe is just as good and vibrant and delicious as ever. 🙂

Photo: Keema Macaroni ( Mince Macaroni)

Some Tips for the Perfectly Cooked Keema Macaroni:
1. Never cook your macaroni in boiling hot water, it destroys the outer layer of the macaroni however you may not realize it. So, always throw in your macaroni or whatsoever in simmering water, a stage before boiling for best results.
2. Always add a reasonable amount of salt to water, in which you will be cooking your macaroni.
3. Once your macaroni has been boiled, strain it, take it out of the hot water and quickly rinse them in cold or regular tap water and the set aside. This stops the macaroni from further cooking, which results in soggy, dull and bland macaroni.
4. Once you throw macaroni into your dish, let it cook and absorb the wonderful flavours of the dish, by letting it sit in the pan for 2-3 minutes with the lid closed and on slowest flame. Macaroni is bland, has no particular flavour so this step is very critical as well as rewarding.
Check it out the Keema Macaroni (Mince Macaroni) recipe and printable version here!!

Recipe Note’s:
1. You can use any pasta of choice , i like the taste of brown rice pasta compared to others.
2. You can add veggies e.g. carrots, capsicum, green peas if you like. Everything in this recipe is optional. Go as you please. Play with flavours.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #Recipestable. I’d love to see what you cook!

It’s the age of one pot meal and who says one pot meal has to be a rice dish. It can be bread based dish as well.

How to make Hot and Spicy Kebab Paratha Rollso:

Mince Stuffed Cutlets

When I was in college, these “Mince Stuffed Cutlets” was one of the first recipes I ever added to my regular rotation.

Mince Stuffed Cutlets is a great appetizer that involves soft delicate potato patties stuffed with seasoned cooked mince. Delicious and crispy patties that can be made in just 35 minutes. These make a great snack or appetizer or even a starter for parties or perfect for weekend meals.

Photo: Mince Stuffed Cutlets

I used to fill my cutlets with spinach, broccoli, cheese, or whatever ingredients I have in my hand. It’s so fun to experiment with different ingredients, home cooking should be easy and fun! Although I enjoyed a lot of combinations, mince stuffed cutlets was always my favorite (and cheese, too).

I know it seems quite far apart but when you take a bite it taste very close to the potato chops.

Photo: Mince Stuffed Cutlets Recipe

There are many variations I have seen online. Some use a little flour mixed with the potato mash, an egg wash, bread crumbs and cornflour. You can make it vegetarian by using cooked peas and carrots in garam masala with some onions and fresh coriander then mixed with the mashed potato and shallow fried. You can replace the lamb mince with cooked ground chicken or beef, or fish. Try getting more creative: This is great fun – keep adding different ingredients to taste the different flavors.

Kachnar Keema Recipe (Kachnar with Minced Meat)
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

LET’S CELEBRATE SPRING

Today marks the start of spring. Traditional rites and festivals of spring revolved around its importance in growing food. Plants start to grow and animals come out of hibernation and begin reproducing. People come out of hibernation too!

I’m really excited to be back with another Traditional Pakistani recipe (if you didn’t see my Kachnar Gosht and Karela Gosht then I’d really recommend you give those a try too).

So let’s celebrate spring with another Traditional Pakistani food (Kachnar Keema).

Photo: Kachnar Keema

A Lil Bit About Kachnar:

Kachnar/Orchid is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to southeastern Asia, from southern China west to Pakistan and India.

Kachnar tree, Bauhinia variegate, is also known as Orchid tree or Butterfly tree because of the way it’s flowers look. This is a very popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical climates, grown for its scented flowers and also used as food item in South Asian cuisine.

Varieties of Kachnar:

Kachnar has three varieties (red, white and mauve) depending upon the colour of its flowers.

Photo: Kachnar Keema Recipe

Kachnar Keema

In Pakistan, its buds are considered a delicacy. They are available for a short season only and are difficult and expensive to buy. Eating Kachnar ( Orchid)is very beneficial for our health as this vegetable is blessed with advantages and it taste is really good when cooked with addition of any mince meat(keema).

Photo: Kachnar Keema Recipe

One thing I love about cooking is discovering new flavours that go together, especially when it’s flavours that you wouldn’t necessarily think to put together and today’s Kachnar Keema recipe is one of those creations.

Photo: Kachnar Keema Recipe

My take on a traditional Pakistani Kachnar Keema with lamb mince, kachnar buds, and served hot chapatai and Raita.

I’ve been trying to perfect Kachnar Keema for a while, but I’ve always found that it was lacking a little something – it had meatiness from the lamb, bitterness from the kachnar buds and saltiness from the spices but it needed just a hint of creaminess. A few weeks ago on a whim (figuring that mince meat and yogurt go well) I decided to add some yogurt to my Kachnar Keema and the problem was solved – it is delicious.

Photo: Kachnar Keema Recipe

If you’re reading this and thinking “hmmmm, what would be the taste, or would I like this recipe?” then stop!! Whilst you can taste the flavour of the kachnar, it compliments the mince rather than overpowering it.

Soooooooo…. convinced? 😉

Kachnar Keema Recipe

Extra-Bonus Tips :

Before serving sprinkle lemon juice if this is to your taste. (I think it improves the flavour.) It’s good with naan, chapattis, or any other kind of bread, and Zeera Raita (Cumin Yogurt Sauce).

This has Taste and is a Treat.

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with naan or paratha along with mint raita or any sauce of your choice.
Recipe Note’s:
1. Maize flour is the main ingredient of Peshawari Kebab it’s main purpose is to soften the patties and absorb excess moisture of material. If you don’t have maize flour replace it with parched gram, if u run out of both types then least choice is of simple wheat flour there might be little bit difference of flour but the purpose can b fulfilled.
2. Mince Tips: Your mince should be dry and have less fats. Use colander to make sure there is no water content in it.If you use meat with fat it will get shrink while frying..
3. Kebab Shape Tip: You can shape kebabs round, oval its your choice.
4. Cooking Tip: While Frying kebabs, cover the frying pan so mince is cooked in its own water and in steam.
5. Freezing Tip: If you want to freeze these Peshawari Kebabs; don’t add tomatoes in it. Tomatoes will leave water and your kebabs will get break. Don’t thaw cook from frozen on low heat covering your pan so meat tenders perfectly. OR you can freeze them semi cooked and when needed bake them in oven.
I have also posted Mutton Seekh kabab which is another easiest & tastiest version of making Kabab at home. Do check it out as well. It’s finger lickin’ good. You’ll be coming back for more.
