Instructions

1
1. Before starting with this recipe, soak the chickpeas and urid whole (6-8 hours) in water (12 to 24 hours) and rinse. If you decide to make fresh beef broth it wil take a few extra hours extra but well worth the wait.

2. Boiling the dough ingrediënts and beany filling:
You need two pans to cook the beans, rice and Urid whole. In one pan add some salt, boil the chickpeas for 30 minutes, put the silver grain rice in the same pan and cook for another 20 minutes till cooked. Dont worry about overcooking we are gonna mash it all. In a second pot with some salt boil the Urid whole for 30 min and in the end boil the sour cabbage for 10 minutes on top of the beans and presto you have turned the yellow sour cabbage into a purple color. While cooking the filling at step 2 you can go to step 3 to bake the meat and spices.

3. Put some oil or butter in a saucepan and put in:
the bay leafs, cloves, (dried) chilli, cummin and cardemom. Then add green pepper, onion and garlic and bake until caramelized. Add the taco or cajun spices, the tomato, a beef broth cube and a pinch of salt. Regularly stir the minced meat in the dish and add some fresh herbs (parsley or thyme). Allow this to cool down.

4. Mash the silver grain rice and chickpeas,
(you can keep some aside for your salade) add a drizzle of oil, a tiny bit of luke warm water or beer (if you have it), add 200 grams of wheat or gram flour, add salt, half a gram of baking powder and a pinch of yeast. Mix it up and kneed the dough. Let it rest for about an hour.

5. While the dough is resting prepare the sauce.
The advocado cream is a very simple mix of advocado with sour cream. Just add some salt and pepper or some green chilli with fresh herbs.

6. Take an oven dish, pot or baking tray and butter the insides.
Gently press the dough and spread out onto the bottom and press the dough against the sides of the oven dish. Put in the meat mixture and on top of that the purple cabbage (beany mixture), top it off with lots of white cheese and fresh herbs. Break an egg on top. smear it all over the dish and put it in a pre heated oven 200C for 45 minutes.
