Colonials Weekend, Fall, MVC, Vern

I made Beef Stew for tonight's Rainbow Gathering at The Lodge. It was my first time using the Slow Cooker Darek's Mom got us for Christmas. It didn't turn out delicious, but it was good.

Cinnamon Beef Noodles

 

10 spring onions (or 1 big red onion in my case)

10 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced

6 slices of ginger, crushed

1½ t chili bean sauce (toban jiang)

2 sticks of cinnamon/cassie

2 staranise

125 ml light soy sauce

1 kg lean beef (magere runderlappen)

 

Rice-noodles

Spinache

Spring onion

 

Stirfry the onion, garlic, ginger, chilipaste, cinnamon and staranise in a very hot wok untill fragrant. (1 minute)

Add light soysauce and 2 L water. (I used less water)

Bring to the boil. Add the meat, bring back to the boil again.

Lower the heat, put 1 hour in slowcooker on high and 9 hours on low.

 

Cook the ricenoodles in 8 minutes. Drain and divide into bowls.

Bring soup to the boil. You can take out the meat if you want to divide fairly. 

Add as much spinache as you like (as it was our dinner, I used 300 gram per person)

wait until wilted.

Then add to the bowl, on top of the noodles.

On top of that, add the meat.

Then the soup/stock.

 

I actually didn’t really like the noodles. They tasted a little bit like cartboard. And although the soup had tasted brilliantly before, the last spoonfulls also tasted a little bit like cartboard.

Maybe glassnoodles or eggnoodles would have been better?

Elena and her friend Candice came to visit for two days before they go on a cruise in the Caribbean. For dinner I made a pork roast in the slow-cooker that came out well with the thermometer. And since Candice is a vegetarian, I had a good reason to use my steam cooker to steam lots of good vegetables.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

 

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

3/4 cup water

5 1/2 pounds bottom round roast

 

In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.

 

Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.

 

I used basically the same idea I had going in this recipe I posted a while back

www.flickr.com/photos/missmarnie/3960620050/in/set-721576...

Only, instead of cooking it in the oven, I’ve used my slow cooker.

 

Serves about 4-6

 

4 lbs Beef Short Ribs (about 8)

Kosher salt

Pepper

4 large carrots cut into 1” pieces

4 stalks celery, cut into 1” piece (I also deveined them but that’s optional)

4 large peeled tomatoes cut into 1” pieces

2 boiler onions rough chopped

1 head of garlic peeled and cloves slightly squished

1 c red wine

1 tbs Worcestershire sauce

1 tbs soy sauce

2 bay leaves

6 c of mushrooms of shiitake and crimini mushrooms (I’m estimating quantity, we used a lot)

 

Sauce

1/2 c red wine

1 tbs butter

Fresh herbs of your choosing (I like thyme or dill)

 

Season ribs with kosher salt and pepper, on all sides. Some people like to remove some of the fat, but I do that at the end. Your call.

 

Place carrots, celery, and tomatoes, in base of slow cooker.

 

Sear meat on all sides in a heavy pan. Make sure to work in small batches to get good browning. I was able to do it all in 2 batches. Set meat aside and add onions and garlic to pan, turn down heat a bit and cook until they are a little translucent.

 

Pour all liquids into pan, gently scraping up all the little bits that may be stuck to the bottom. Allow to cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes to get the liquid hot and cook off a little of the booze.

 

Add liquid, with onions and garlic, to the crock pot. Add bay leaves. Place meat on top. Heat on high for 30 mins and then reduce to low heat for 5 hours. Add mushrooms at this point. Cook on low for another 1-2 hours.

 

Move meat to a serving plate (bones will likely just fall out) and strain veggies out with slotted spoon and place in a separate dish. Remove as much fat from remaining liquid as possible. Pour remaining liquid into sauce pan and add wine and butter and cook on high until reduced to about 1/3 of the original quantity. Add salt and pepper if desired. Add half the fresh herbs to sauce and save the rest for garnish.

 

My favorite method for reheating is to place a couple piece of meat and veggies on an oven safe pan and broil for a couple minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to warm through. Reheat sauce in microwave. The broiling gives a delightful crust to the meat.

 

End result is slightly more tender (probably because it’s cooked longer) than the oven version but equally tasty and easy to prepare.

Home made slow cooker baked beans. Yum!

My son prepared this Italian dish for Labor Day. The sauce over the pasta is called Slow-Cooker Italian Sunday Gravy and is a tomato based sauce made in slow cooker with Italian sausages, shredded rib meat, and flank steak. The Parmesan Popover recipe is from Giada de Laurentiis' EVERYDAY iTALIAN cookbook.

As everyone knows, slow cookers were a common feature of early hominid tribes.

And then ignore it for 8 hours.

Stewed beef northern style

 

Panfry on high heat:

600 gr cubes of beef (for stewing)

 

After about 5-10 minutes, when it’s nicely brown and caramelized you can either take out the beef or just shift it aside in the pan to stirfry :

1 red onion, chopped (I didn’t have spring onions)

2-3 T chopped ginger

2-3 T chopped garlic

4 dried red chilies, chopped.

 

After about a minute of stirfrying you add a mixture of:

400 ml chickenstock

25 gr chinese brown sugar

1 T light soysauce

1 T dark soysauce

1,5 T shaoxing ricewine

3 staranise

1 t 5-spice powder

3 T hoisinsauce

1 T Yellow Bean Sauce

 

I cooked it in my slowcooker for 10 hours on low.

Then, half an hour before it's ready add:

450g chinese radish or rettich (I don't always use this addition)

 

Finish with some spring onions at the end.

Somehow I prefer this stew with mashed potatoes!

closeup of first attempt at making hmong sausage honest-food.net/hmong-sausage-recipe/

 

i've no means of making the sausage meat into sausages so spooned into pots... anyway for todays recipes the sausages would be broken up flic.kr/p/2r18BnH

 

10 pots of hmong sausage meat were made

the sausage meat was tightly packed into the pots using a spoon and pressing heavily to get the meat more like a pate

for the recipes posted today flic.kr/p/2r18BnH i used 4 pots of hmong sausage meat - that was plenty. the remaining 6 pots are now in the freezer for another day

 

1/4 kg pork belly

1/4 kg pork shoulder

(total cost of pork £6.50 the butcher minced them no charge)

red onion

white onion

chillies

lemon grass

fresh ginger

oregano (personal preference)

parsley (personal preference)

coarse black pepper

salt

(no lime to hand)

honest-food.net/hmong-sausage-recipe/

 

cooking the mixture was convoluted. i wrapped the sausage meat in foil and placed in the slowcooker on low but even after a few hours it wasn't cooked

 

next removed from the slowcooker, unwrapped the foil and decanted the meat into a deep metal dish covering with foil - the ingredients had reduced so could fit in easily. finally placed in the counter top mini oven on 170 fah until cooked - should have done that in the first place :)

then spooned into the pots and placed in the refrigerator ready for the recipes flic.kr/p/2r18BnH

Sukadelappen, schorseneren, aardappelen en jus.

Braised beef, salsifies, potatoes and gravy.

 

Not bad at all. :-)

I just need to buy this beef at a butcher next time, because these ones from the supermarket are ridiculously thin!

 

I cooked the salsifies with some cream, chickenstock and thym for about 15 minutes. Reduced the sauce and finished with some verjus, as I had run out of lemons.

The beef I forgot how I did it. Only that I quickly panfried them, added red wine, old gravy from the freezer and some spices and then braised them in the crockpot for about 11 hours.

 

And of course I forgot to add the staranise again. (Blumenthal's tip for intensifying the beef-flavour) So now I'm writing it down, hopefully next time....
