Sunflower Meat with Sun Dried Tomatoes

Sundried Tomatoes from Druvan and chopped onions

Served with Penne Pasta

A real experiment in combining flavours and ingredients from different continents.

Ingredients

400g minced meat

sunflower seeds

white pepper

salt

cayenne pepper

1tbsp Creme Fraiche

1can coconut milk

sundried tomatoes

1 onion

Directions

1. Start with frying the meat and letting it get properly cooked.
2. Grind the sunflower seeds together with white pepper, salt and just a little cayenne pepper until  it's almost entirely grinded. Preferable is to save some of the seeds just almost entirely crushed.
3. Pour the mixture in the pan and blend well. Let it fry for just a minute.
4. Add the coconut milk and creme fraiche. Let it simmer for a few minutes until almost all the fluid has evaporated.
5. Add chopped sundried tomatoes and onions and stir.

Serve with Penne Pasta or whatever pasta you prefer.

Availability of Ingredients

• Sour cream can be used in place of Creme Fraiche when it comes to texture and density, but tastes a bit different and stronger too. Amount to be added depends on your taste.
• Sun-dried tomatoes are available almost in any grocery, especially in Sweden. Our favorite brand is Druvan. If it is unavailable in any location (we haven't really seen one in the Philippines or it's possible we did not look enough), home made sun-dried tomatoes are easy to do. Just go and check out this page http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookvegetables/a/sundriedrecipe.htm. If you know other ways of how to do this (one great way of doing this at home is if you pattern it the way tomatoes turn out to be when cooking Adobong Matanda), do let us know. Thanks!
