breadcrumb 0.040 kg $4.00 kg 80% $5.00 $0.20

Procedure:
STEP 1
To cut the meats, roll up the pork rind like a Swiss roll. With the seam underneath, use a very sharp knife to cut the roll across into thin slices,
then chop the rolled-up slices across into dice. Chop the bacon into small cubes (lardons). Cut the garlic sausage into 1cm thick slices.

STEP 2
Drain the soaked beans and discard the soaking water. Tip the beans into a large saucepan, add the diced pork rind and lardons and cover
with fresh cold water. Bring to the boil and blanch for 15-20 minutes. Drain the beans, rind and lardons into a colander, and discard the
cooking water.

STEP 3
Roughly chop the celery, onion and carrot. Peel the garlic cloves but leave them whole. Cut each tomato into eight wedges. (You never see
tomatoes in a traditional cassoulet, but chef Raymond Blanc likes them for their colour and sweetness, so he puts a couple in.) Preheat the
oven to 120C/fan 100C. (If cooking in a gas oven, use mark 2.)

STEP 4
Heat the goose fat or olive oil in a 26cm flameproof casserole or deep overproof sauté pan over a low heat and sweat the celery, onion, carrot
and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bouquet garni and cook slowly to get a sugary caramelisation (about 5 minutes). Add the
sausage, beans, pork rind and lardons and pour in 1.2 litres/2 pints water. Bring to the boil, skim off the scum, then add the salt, pepper, clove
and lemon juice.

STEP 5
Transfer the casserole to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring every hour. At the end of this time, the beans will be soft and
creamy in texture and the juices should have thickened. You may need to cook it for longer than 2 hours (say up to 2½ hours) to get to this
stage – it depends

Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove the
bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Meanwhile, lay the chicken out on paper towels and pat dry. Liberally sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. When the
bacon is removed, brown the chicken pieces in batches in a single layer for about 5 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Remove the chicken to
the plate with the bacon and continue to brown until all the chicken is done. Set aside.
Add the carrots, onions, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Cognac and put the bacon, chicken, and
any juices that collected on the plate into the pot. Add the wine, chicken stock, and thyme and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot with a tight
fitting lid and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just not pink. Remove from the oven and place on top of the stove.
Mash 1 tablespoon of butter and the flour together and stir into the stew. Add the frozen onions. In a medium saute pan, add the remaining 1
tablespoon of butter and cook the mushrooms over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until browned. Add to the stew. Bring the stew to a
simmer and cook for another 10 minutes. Season to taste. Serve hot.

Serve straight away with rice or as a side and top with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion

borccolli

Procedure:
1. I used pork neck (also called pork collar, collar butt, scotch fillet) )because I like the way the meat curls slightly allowing more sauce to coat
the pork. I bought a block and sliced it thinly for this recipe. 2. Shredded cabbage is always served with shogayaki. Often, it is just cabbage.
But I thought tomatoes and broccoli would add colours to the plate. You can of course vary the accompanying vegetables.

3. The amount of sauce reduction is up to your preference. When I made this, I had about 1 tablespoon left. I felt that the sauce was a bit
strong for my liking but some people might find it just right. Hence the amount of reduction is given as a range.

4. Ginger pork is great for a bento box (Japanese style lunch box) as it goes extremely well with rice. It is still great even if eaten at room
temperature.

A simple lunch box menu can be: rice, ginger pork with shredded cabbage, boiled green vegetables such as broccoli or Spinach Ohitashi
salad. If you have an instant miso soup, that’ll make a perfect lunch pack!

Warm the pudding mixture over low heat on the stove. You do not want it to simmer or come to a boil. While the mixture is heating up,
continue to stir with a whisk until the gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. This should only take 1-2 minutes once the mixture begins to
heat up. Once dissolved, remove from heat.
Pour pudding into small bowls/jars or similar containers. You should have about 20 oz of pudding mixture. I divided mine into 4 oz servings.
Place pudding containers into the fridge to set. This will take about 4-6 hours. Once set, they can be eaten as is. You can also decorate the
tops with fruit or syrup before eating

Honey 0.030 kg $30.00 kg 95% $31.58 $0.95

Procedure:
Break the matzo sheets in half, place them in a bowl filled with water, and weigh them down with a plate to keep them submerged. Soak for 2
hours, then drain the matzo and squeeze them to remove all the water.
Transfer the matzo to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher to make a thick and somewhat chunky paste or batter. Mix in the eggs,
sugar, raisins, pine nuts, and orange or lemon zest. Stir in some or all of the matzo meal: you are looking to obtain a thick batter that will keep
its shape when dropped by the spoonful into the hot oil for frying. It should not look too wet and runny.
Pour 1½ to 2 inches (4 to 5 cm) of oil into a large saucepan and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°F (180°C).
You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of food, such as a slice of apple, into it: if it sizzles nicely but doesn’t bubble up too wildly, the oil
is ready. (An apple is said to help minimize the smell of the frying oil, so I generally go for that, but any bit of food will do.)
Working in batches to avoid crowding, using two spoons, drop small mounds of the matzo mixture into the hot oil and fry the fritters for 5
minutes, or until golden brown, turning them once to ensure even cooking. Drain the cooked fritters on paper towels for a few minutes, then
transfer to a plate and drizzle with the honey before serving.
Pizzarelle have to be eaten as soon as they are ready: they are scrumptious hot from the pan, but they get soggy quickly.
