Yesterday the two of us had venison backstrap, seared then coated with Grey Poupon coarse mustard and bread crumbs. Finished in hot oven.
Veggies were oven roasted parboiled potatoes, braised carrots, asparagus
Homemade bread to fill in the corners, Zinfandel to drink, and my white fruitcake to finish off.
Today we had braised venison (cubed, not a tied roast) with nockerln and braised red cabbage. Dessert was pears poached with white wine, honey, vanila bean. Served cold with a mascarpone sauce.
The fellow who hunts on our property is delivering another half a deer tomorrow. Good thing my Kitchner meat grinder will arrive next week - sausage recipes, anyone? |

Posted: Wed Dec 28, 11 6:42 pm Post subject: Gil's version of Penny's recipe for Brownies |
|
The recipe for the brownies is already in the DS Recipe Database !
It's Penny's recipe for brownies, based on Nigella's (?), and I added 2 tsps of instant freeze-dried coffee dissolved in a slosh of boiling water, with about 1oz ground almonds to compensate for that extra liquid [you could also add a wee bit more flour].
I use half-quantities of the recipe, which works out to
150g dark chocolate
6oz marge or butter
3 eggs
9 oz sugar, whatever kind you have
2 tsps coffee, dissolved in a wee bit of boiling water
4 oz SR flour
1oz ground almonds or 1oz more flour
1. Melt choc and sugar together in a bowl over simmering water
2. Eggs beaten till fluffy
3. Sugar added to eggs and beaten in till pale and fluffy
4. Fold in the melted choc and marge, and mix
5. add coffee to the mix
6. Sieve flour into bowl, add almonds if using, and stir to mix well.
7. Pour into a greased baking tin / small roasting tin about 10"x7" or 9"x6", lined with greaseproof, and bake at 180C for 20-25 mins.
To my mind, the beauty of this recipe is that yes, you can make it with really expensive chocolate, and good butter, and your own eggs, and dark muscovado sugar, and yes, it's very very yummy, BUT SO IT SHOULD BE. You can also make it with Ingredients of Shame*, and it is still remarkably nice.
