2009-11-12T20:59:00.003+01:00

Tonight's food was inspired from my dinner last week at Gordon Ramsay Resto´@ Claridge Hotel London,The Crispy Pork!
Ratatouille a vegetable stew typical of Provençal cookery,originally from Nice,w/c is now found all over south-east France and is popular abroad. The word derived from the French touiller (to mix or stir) ,at first designated an unappetizing stew.
A ratatouille from Nice (Ratatouille Niçoise )is made from onions,courgettes,eggplants,sweet bell peppers and tomatoes simmered in olive oils w/ herbs. It accompanies roasts,sautéed chicken,or small cuts of meat,as well as braised fish,omelttes and scrambled eggs.According to the purists,the different vegetables should be cooked slowly together until they attain a smooth,creamy consistency.

Beef Wellington in red wine sauce

2009-09-20T22:12:00.007+02:00

Yummie dinner for tonight, Beef Wellington in red wine sauce.

Ingredients

*500g mushrooms
*Sea salt
*Freshly ground black pepper
*Olive oil
*750g beef fillet
*2 tbsp mustard
*6 slices of Parma ham
*500g puff pastry
*Flour, to dust
2 egg yolks, beaten

Method
Put the mushrooms into a food processor with some seasoning and pulse to a rough paste. Scrape the paste into a pan and cook over a high heat for about 10 mins, tossing frequently, to cook out the moisture from the mushrooms. Spread out on a plate to cool.

Heat in a frying pan and add a little olive oil. Season the beef and sear in the hot pan for 30 secs only on each side. Remove the beef from the pan and leave to cool, then brush all over with the mustard.

Lay a sheet of cling film on a work surface and arrange the ham slices on it, in slightly overlapping rows. Spread the mushroom paste over the ham, then place the seared beef fillet in the middle. Keeping a tight hold of the cling film from the edge, neatly roll the Parma ham and mushrooms around the beef to form a tight barrel shape. Twit the ends of the cling film to secure. Chill for 15-20 mins to allow the beef to set and keep its shape.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to a large rectangle. Remove the cling film from the beef, then lay in the centre. Brush the surrounding pastry with egg yolk. Fold the ends over, the wrap the pastry around the beef, cutting off any excess. Turn over, so the seam is underneath, and place on a baking sheet. Brush over all the pastry with egg and chill for about 15 mins to let the pastry rest. Heat the oven to 200ºC.

Lightly score the pastry at 1cm intervals and glaze again with beaten egg yolk.Bake for 20 minutes , then lower the oven setting to 180ºC and cook for another 15 mins. Allow to rest for 10-15 mins before slicing and serving with the accompaniments. The beef should still be pink in the centre when you serve it.

Pad Thai

2009-03-22T13:21:00.003+01:00

Thailand's famous dish! Yummie Pad Thai , who will say no to this? :) one of my favorite thai food.
Ingredients
* 8-10 oz. Thai rice noodles, linguini-width, available at Asian/Chinese stores
* 1 to 1 1/2 cups raw chicken breast or thigh meat, sliced
* Marinade for Chicken: 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
Tiger shrimps
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 cups fresh bean sprouts
* 3 spring (green) onions, sliced
* approx. 1 cup fresh coriander
* 1/3 cup crushed or roughly chopped peanuts (or other nuts, such as cashews)
* 1/4 cup chicken stock
* 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
* PAD THAI SAUCE:
* 3/4 Tbsp. tamarind paste dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water (look for tamarind at Asian/Chinese or Indian food stores)
* 2 Tbsp. fish sauce
* 1-3 tsp. chili sauce (depending how spicy you want it)
* 3 Tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
* OTHER:
* lime wedges for serving
* oil for stir-frying

Preparation:
1. Place noodles in a pot of water and place on the stove. Bring to near a boil, then remove from heat. Allow to sit while you prepare the other ingredients (about 10 minutes).
2. Make the Pad Thai Sauce by combining the sauce ingredients together in a cup. Stir well to dissolve both the tamarind paste and the brown sugar. Set sauce aside.
Note: this may seem like a lot of sugar, but you need it to balance out the sourness of the tamarind - this balance is what makes Pad Thai taste so tangy-terrific!
3. Place chicken slices in a small bowl. Pour the marinade (2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp. soy sauce) over the chicken. Stir well and set aside.
4. Check the noodles. Note that you will be frying the noodles later, so you don't want to over-soften them at this point. Noodles are ready when they are soft enough to be eaten, but are still firm and chewy. Drain and rinse through with cold water. Set aside.
5. Warm up a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the wok/pan is hot, add 1-2 Tbsp. oil plus garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds).
6. Add the chicken (together with the marinade). Stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minute.
7. When wok or pan becomes dry, add a little chicken stock (1-2 Tbsp. at a time), enough to keep the chicken frying nicely. Continue in this way until the chicken pieces/strips are cooked (about 5-8 minutes).Then Add the Shrimps.
8. Add the noodles, and pour the Pad Thai sauce over. Using two spatulas, wooden spoons, or other utensils, quickly stir-fry the noodles. Use a "lift and turn" method (like tossing a salad) instead of the usual stir-frying motion, or the noodles may break apart.
9. Fry the noodles in this way for 1-2 minutes. If you find your wok/frying pan too dry, push noodles aside and add a little more oil to the bottom (but no more broth, or the noodles will become soggy).
10. Add the bean sprouts and sprinkle over the ground black pepper. Continue "tossing" for 1 more minute, or until noodles are cooked. Noodles are done to perfection when they are no longer "hard" or transulcent. They should be opaque and chewy-sticky wonderful!
11. Taste-test the noodles for seasoning, adding more fish sauce as neededToss well to incorporate.
12. To serve, lift the noodles onto a serving plate. Top with generous amounts of fresh coriander, spring onion (green onion), and crushed or chopped nuts & shrimps. Add fresh lime wedges (lime is great squeezed overtop) Well I'm out of it today lol!, and serve with a bottle of Thai chili sauce on the side, for those who like it extra spicy. ENJOY!
