Recipes from a celebrity chef

Postby CBBB » Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:34 pm

In order to stop amateurs like BillC from putting people on the wrong path with regard to cooking, I have decided to share my ages old family recipes with you.

I will start with my very tasty onion sauce.

Ingredients:

80 g butter
50 g plain flour
550 ml milk
300 ml single cream
2 large onions finely chopped
A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Salt & pepper to taste
An additional 20 g of butter to finish

1. Melt the butter over a low heat in a saucepan.
2. Add the finely chopped onions and allow to cook gently for about 10 minutes stirring every now and then.
3. Add the flour and stir to a smooth paste.
4. Slowly add the milk and the cream stirring continuously until you have a smooth sauce.
5. Cook on a very low heat for 5 minutes.
6. Add the nutmeg, salt & pepper, then stir in the additional butter, and serve.

You take the juices from the pan the meat was roasted in, add some water, some white wine (or KEO), and then thicken with some cornflour.

Take a good sized rabbit and chop it in to about 10 pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then brown in some olive oil. Stick it in a "sini". Fry some spuds in the same oil, and add to the "sini". Slice loads of onions and chuck them in as well. Now cover this with a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes, add some vinegar, and crushed cumin seeds. Chuck it in the oven for a couple of hours at around 180C until cooked.
