Tonight my wife requested some comfort food. I happened to have some Udon noodles in the pantry . . . so with some quick chopping of green onions, peppers, carrot, and even a zucchini . . . a little stir frying . . . add noodles and a little soy and oyster sauce. 15 minutes later here they are.
They were well received.
Luckily you had that snazzy Nakiri handy!
Looking good!
Jim,
When you roast stuffed veal breast do put a layer of salt pork or any other animal fat on the outside? I've wanted to try a stuffed veal breast and found that a lot of recipes call for that. I'd prefer not to and just let the veal shine.
I always plan to try to braise it, the sauce would be wonderful that way.
No I do not,I think most recipes call for that because to break down this piece of meat takes forever, I cook it at low temperature tightly covered until it hits 195 internal and a probe slides in easily. Then just a few minutes under the broiler to brown it up. I always plan to try to braise it, the sauce would be wonderful that way.
Around 250? I'm thinking of stuffing one with a duxelle of wild mushrooms and shallot....maybe coat the inside pocket with some dijon. If I'm going to roast it covered, I'm guessing my 5.5q oval staub will work. Or I could use a large cazuela and cover with aluminum foil. Unless you suggest otherwise, I'm going to try the staub and see if I can get a nice deglazed jus with some white wine and stock.
We are having a dinner party here tonight and I am just psyching myself up to start prepping for it. The menu is
Millefeuille of roasted beetroot and smoked salmon, with a horseradish creme fraiche dressing (if I can find any f'g horseradish today, yesterday was highly unsuccessful on that front!)
Beef Wellington
Lemon Sabayon tart, with honey and marscepone cream (French Laundry cookbook recipe)
I'm going to make my poached quails' eggs and bacon in buerre monte as a canape, and if I have time may make an amuse bouche of gazpacho - I meant to do that yesterday but went to the pub earlier than originally planned(!)
