Leftovers, cont...

[desperance]

A layer of the beef-and-sherry stew in the bottom of a pyrex dish; topped with the last of the buttered-cabbage-with-juniper; topped with the last of the smooth olive-oil mash; put in a hot oven till brown & crispy on top.

What is this?

Yup. This is exceedingly posh cottage pie. And absolutely yummy.

Olive oil mash?

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Hmm, mashed potato using olive oil rather than butter, I assume.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Yup, 'zackly that.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Oh, just root veg - in this instance potato mostly, with a little turnip - mashed with lots of olive oil rather than butter. Because there was an olive crust on the stew in its original incarnation, and I wanted to pick that note up.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I had no milk. That too...

Trevor is going to leave me and move in with you. Possibly we ought to have mentioned this but hey, at least you know now.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Hee. You're far enough away that I get a day's notice to break out the spare futon. This seems fair.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I'm thinking of doing that. If it weren't in the frozen north.

Ha! I raise you guinea-fowl braised in my slow cooker with red cabbage, raisins and apple juice. It was delicious.

Sadly, no leftovers, but I'm throwing the bones in the stock tomorrow.

[fidelioscabinet.livejournal.com]

Slow cookers rule.

[brisingamen.livejournal.com]

Absolutely ... I was really impressed with how well the guinea fowl turned out. I wouldn't mind laying hands on a pheasant for braising, though I suspect the game season has reached its end.

Meanwhile, I've half a dozen really interesting-looking poultry recipes I want to try! Yum.

Yummmmmmm.

We were having Wellington tonight, but I forgot to allow time for the filets to chill. So we're having Wellington tomorrow.

Trevor is now wavering about his domestic arrangements as we had roast pheasant with rosemary and rose petal jelly, plus roast garlic and potatoes, with peas and corn. Not quite so spectacular but it was a good Sunday night supper.

Definitely going to be nicking, I mean trying, some of the ideas here, though.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Heh. I see your roast pheasant, and raise you...

Nah. I'm bluffing, and I don't have the belly for it. Did you make your own rosemary and rose petal jelly? I have no affinity with flowers; don't grow 'em, never have cooked with 'em. Nibbled on an occasional nasturtium leaf, but that's about as far as I've been.

Nom. nom nom nom.
