Mains I served up during the Christmas holidays...
From the masterchef cookbook, veal cutlets and tarragon chips with mushroom sauce
Start with fresh ingredients... lovely pinky veal cutlets.First time using tarragon... with thinly cut potato chips
Dinner is served!
The next thing I try is from Jamie's America after Dave reminded me countless times that I promised to make him gumbo.
First I fried the spicy italian sausage to get the oils out before setting them aside.
Using the oils, add plain flour and keep frying and stirring until peanut butter coloured or browner.. this is called the roux.... fascinating concept of using the fat from good sausages and mixing it with flour to make this tasty paste.
Then add the "holy trinity" of gumbo, onions + celery + capsicum
Added okra (ladies fingers) as a natural thickener for the gumbo
Fresh prawns, peeled and deveined
Last in are the chicken and prawns. Once they are cooked, it'll be ready to serve, serve with rice or a crusty bread roll
Perfectly matched with a James Squire golden ale

Oh, maybe you should change your settings to moderate all comments before they get posted?
