peteteacher2001 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The thought of peanut butter on a hot dog just turned my stomach after reading this. That sounds awesome Bier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) this isn't too bad. because we have a little one running around i kept it easy and did some things during the day. gelato i did yesterday so wouldn't have to worry about it. the chevre needs to be staged a little bit: - cut a log of chevre into even pieces. - freezer for about 20 min or so - three stage breading (used panko instead of reg bread crumbs) - back into freezer for a 20 min - fry until golden. set aside and store in fridge - with oven at 450 it only takes about 2-5 min to finish in oven roesti: a large potato gives me 2 the size i like using. - grate potatoes. - i use 1 egg for every 2 potatoes - drizzle 1-2 tbs of truffle oil - hti with some herbs (i used italian tonight), s&p - get pan hot. - add butter - form a little ball with potato mix, squeeze liquid out - flatten in pan to about 3/4 inch thick - saute until brown. flip. brown. set aside. - so i make my batch and leave on a baking sheet in fridge - takes about 10 min to re-crisp in oven closer to when i want to serve... sauce: - sweat minced shallots - added 3/4 c white port and 3/4 c beef stock (or broth), and 1/4 c red wine - reduce to 2/3. add 1-2 oz cream - here i just simmered slowly until i was closer to putting my steak on a plate - when i am about 2 min away i go high heat to get the consitancy i want. dressings are usually pretty quick, so i just throw that together a 1/2 hr or so before i want to give out salads. anglaise i did about an hour before dinner... takes a little time to cool. edit: the kitchen teaches efficiency. i just know how long things will take. so i know that when i start my custard (anglaise) i can get my dressing done before it scalds. then i give that sauce my attention. when i put the anglaise in the fridge to cool i can cut the chevre and put in the fridge... then start my potatoes. when potatoes are done. can three stage the cheese..............

Big Country Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 We are having friends who are having their kitchen remodeled over tonight. Lasagna - prepped it all last night, all that needs to be done is pop it in the oven. Caesar salad - We're simple, two bags from the store, toss in a bowl Garlic Bread - Toss in oven Dessert is ice cream pie - Oreo Cookie crust, one pie is mint chocolate chip, the other is regular chocolate chip. Top with Oreos. So much for doing a quick dropping of a few pounds before our BBQ up north this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
