  • 1/2 sdt gula pasir 1 butir biji pala (dikeprek saja) 1 1/2 sdt bumbu penyedap rasa sapi 

Cara membuatnya :
  • Siapkan air sebanyak 1 liter dalam panci, masukan potongan daging, masak hingga daging dan kacang merah empuk (dengan pressure cooker cukup 30 menit saja), setelah empuk baru masukkan bumbu halus/iris, biji pala, potongan wortel, garam, lada, gula pasir. serta bumbu penyedap rasa sapi. Masak kembali sampai matang lalu masukan potongan bawang daun.Rasakan soup, adjust rasanya dg menambahkan garam/lada/gula pasir bila kurang. Angkat, sajikan hangat.

Ontbijtkoek



Brief information about Ontbijtkoek.(source: wikipedia)

An ontbijtkoek (literally translated breakfast cake) or peperkoek is a Dutch-Belgian spiced cake. Rye is its most important ingredient, coloring the cake a light brown. It is often spiced with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, succade and nutmeg. Several parts of the Netherlands have their own local recipe, of which the most famous is "Oudewijvenkoek" (old wives' cake) which is mostly eaten in the northern regions, and is flavored with aniseed. Ontbijtkoek is originally served at breakfast with a thick layer of butter on top, as a replacement for bread. However due to its sweet taste it is also served as a snack.

And here's the recipe (in Bahasa Indonesia)
Bahan:
Telur 06kuning+03putih
gula palem 50gram
gula jawa 100gram (saya kurangin jadi 85, tergantung level manis masing2 gula yah)

bumbu lapis/spekoek 1sdt
TBM 1sdt
vanili bubuk/cair 1/2 sdt
Kenari cincang 100gram
Rhum 1sdt (optional..but a must for myself :) 

Cara Membuat:
  1. Kocok telur, gula, TBM, vanili sampai putih kental dan naik.
  2. Masukkan campuran terigu+bumbu lapis/spekoek, aduk rata dg spatula.
  3. Masukkan mentega/margarine leleh, aduk rata lagi dengan spatula.
  4. Masukkan 3/4 kenari cincang kedalam adonan, aduk rata lagi
  5. Tuang adonan ke dalam loyang tulban D24cm yg sudah diolesi margarin dan taburi atasnya dengan sisa kenari cincang tadi.
  6. Panggang di oven panas dengan suhu 180C selama 30-40menit atau sampai kue kuning kecoklatan/matang.
  7. Keluarkan dari oven, tunggu sampai kue agak dingin lalu keluarkan dari loyang.
