圣诞快乐~~

菜单:.

Beef Wellington(牛肉).

Garden Pasta Salad.

Roman Summer Salad(西红柿为主).

Spinach Casserole .

甜点.

Mini Cheesecake(买的).

Baklava.

从选菜单,采购,烹饪全是偶一个人,还是如往常,在选菜单时考虑到大家的口味,也不要把自己累倒.通常也会选择一两个可以把准备工作提前做好,到时就不会堆在一起把自己搞得手忙脚乱.比如,beef wellington的准备工作可以头一天做好,第二天再烤.Garden Pasta Salad也可以提前一天做好放冰箱.baklava是偶前一两天就做好的.

昨晚烤了近4磅的beef wellington,全吃光了,连偶家的都没忍住,好像是昏后这莫多年,偶看到他第三次吃牛肉.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

225g (2 cups) chopped bacon

1 medium onion, chopped

two 2kg (41⁄2 pound) chickens, each cut into 8 pieces

5 tablespoons brandy

a few sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary and parsley

2 bay leaves

3 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tablespoon tomato purée

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon sugar

1 bottle (75cl) full-bodied, dry red wine (see Wine Tip below)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

For the glazed shallots and mushrooms:

15g (1 tablespoon) butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

350g (12 ounces) shallots

350g (12 ounces) button mushrooms, cleaned

For the beurre manié:

30g (2 tablespoons) butter, softened

2 tablespoons plain flour

Cooking Instructions:

1.Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat on the hob. Add the bacon and onion and cook, stirring, until both are softened and then remove, draining well.

2.Fry the chicken in batches until all the pieces are evenly browned, then return them all to the pot with the bacon and onion. Remove the pot from the heat and add the brandy. Carefully ignite, standing well back until the flames subside, then return the pot to the heat.

3.Preheat the oven to 275°F/140°C/Gas Mark 1. Tie all the herbs into a bundle with fine string and add this to the pot with the garlic, tomato purée, lemon juice, sugar and red wine. Cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 2 to 21⁄2 hours until the chicken is very tender.

4.About 30 minutes before the chicken finishes cooking, melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and fry for 10 to 15 minutes until they are golden brown and soft; transfer to a plate. Add the mushrooms to the pan and toss so they are just cooked and coloured.

5.Blend the butter and flour together in a small bowl. Remove a few pieces of the cooked chicken to make room to stir in the beurre manié. Add this in small amounts, stirring after each addition so that the sauce remains smooth.

6.When all the beurre manié has been incorporated, return the chicken together with the shallots and mushrooms. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the top generously with the parsley and serve from the pot.

Wine Tip

This dish has traditionally been prepared with red Burgundy which makes an excellent accompaniment to the meal. Try one of the red wines from the Burgundy villages of Marsannay or Santenay. Or try a Pinot Noir from Oregon.
