Beef Carbonnade:
1 1/2 lb cubed beef, 3 tbsp seasoned plain flour, 1 tbsp oil, 1 oz (25g) butter, 2 medium onions (sliced), 1 clove garlic (crushed), 1/2 pint (300ml) beef stock, 1 tbsp tomato puree, 1 tbsp english mustard, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 pint (300ml) guinness, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 bouquet garni (readily available - looks like a herbal teabag), salt and freshly ground black pepper, 2 carrots (cut into chunks), 2 parsnips (cut into chunks).
Pre-heat an oven to 325f/170c/mk3. Coat the beef with the seasoned flour. Heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof casserole and brown the beef. (Can also be done in a large pan - then add to casserole dish). Add the onions and garlic and cook for 2 - 3 mins. Stir in the stock and add the tomato puree, mustard , vinegar, guinness, sugar, bouquet garni and season to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour. Add the carrots and parsnips and cook for a further hour.
Serve with garlic & herb croutons (Mix 1/2 oz (25g) butter with 1 or 2 cloves crushed garlic and 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley. Slice half a french stick into 8 pieces. Lightly toast one side and spread the butter on the other side. Toast until golden). Arrange the croutons on the casserole and serve with potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
(Mustard croutons could be used = mix 1/2 oz (25g) butter with 1 tbsp dijon mustard - proceed as above). |

Salmon with Whisky Sauce and Clapshot:
1 swede (about 500g (1lb 2oz), 500g (1lb 2oz) floury potatoes, salt and black pepper, 1 small onion - chopped, 85g (3oz) butter, 4 tbsp hot milk, 3 tbsp chopped chives, pinch of fresh grated nutmeg, 4 salmon fillets, 1 tbsp sunflower oil, 100ml (3 1/2floz) scotch whisky, 3 tbsp double cream.
Peel the swede and potatoes - cut into even sized chunks. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the swede, potato & onion. Bring back to a boil then simmer for 15 mins until well tender. Drain the veg well & mash with 40g (1 1/2oz) butter and the hot milk until pretty smooth - leave a little 'texture' tho. Stir in the chives and season to taste with the salt, pepper & nutmeg.
Meanwhile - season the salmon fillets with salt & pepper then heat 15g (1/2 oz) butter with the oil in a wide pan and fry the salmon skin side down for about 6 - 8 mins. Turn and cook for another 4 - 6 mins (depends on thickness). Lift onto warmed plates.
Add the whisky to the pan and boil until it reduces to a 'syrup'. Reduce the heat & add the cream and whisk in the remaining butter a little at a time until you have a smooth sauce. Spoon over the salmon and serve with the clapshot and a green vehetable (beans are good).
Tip - to keep the clapshot warm while salmon is cooking, cover with a tea-towel - not a lid = stops them going 'soggy'. |

Bangers & Mash with a Red Onion/Mustard Gravy:
1kg (2lb 4oz) potatoes (maris piper are perfect), salt & freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 pint (150ml) milk, 1/2 oz (15g) butter, 8 good pork sausages, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 medium red onion - thinly sliced, 2 tbsp plain flour, 400ml (14 floz) good chicken stock, 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard (or a tbsp of worcestershire sauce for a different flavour).
Peel the spuds and cut into chunks, boil in salted water for about 20 mins or until tender. Drain well, return to the pan. Heat the milk until almost boiling - add to the potatoes and mash well with the butter, add black pepper to taste.
While the spuds are cooking, grill (or fry) the sausages until well cooked and the skins are a golden brown - turn frequently. Drain on kitchen paper to get rid of excess fat. Keep warm when making the gravy.
Heat the oil in a decent pan & fry the onions until soft and lightly browned. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 min. Add the stock & stir until boiling. Cook, stirring, for about 2 mins, reduce to a simmer and add the mustard (or worcestershire sauce) & season to taste. Serve with the bangers & mash. If you must garnish - try finely chopped chives. |
