Dry Aged and well Hung:


Dry Aged and well Hung:
Are you a steak fetishist?
The sight of that ageing flesh and the whiff of fat edging close to rancid perfection
Hues who says of the prospect of a 400- day ageing :
You,ll get a taste of blue cheese and truffle
Is that what you want?

Bearnaise Sauce

Classic sauce to go with Steak
2 shallots,peeled and finely chopped
3 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp peppercorns crushed
4 egg yolks
200 g unsalted butter
Juice of half a lemon
Method
Put the shallots in a pan with tarragon,vinegar,peppercorns and 1 tbsp water.
Boil to reduce by half.
Cool,then add egg yolks and whisk in a bain-marie until light and creamy
Take off the heat and slowly whisk in butter.
Season with lemon juice. Serve.

Things to note: Can easily go wrong in the process of cooking and curdling when whisking in the butter!

Great Oxtail tail recipe and how-to.
Samp sounds so intriguing
As alternative I would cook the Oxtail in a Port and Guinness sauce
Get wagging the Oxtail over in S.A.

World Wide Web framed in Juniper


World Wide Web framed in Juniper
Juniper berry sauce is often a popular flavoring choice for quail, pheasant, veal, rabbit, venison and other meat dishes.

Many of the earliest prehistoric people lived in or near juniper forests which furnished them food, fuel, and wood for shelter or utensils.
It is also a symbol of longevity, strength, athleticism, and fertility.

Not much juniper left up here in Aberdeenshire the reason the wood was used for bootleg distilleries back in the day as juniper wood gave of No Smoke for the authorities to see you by.

In Morocco, the tar (gitran) of the arar tree (Juniperus phoenicea) is applied in dotted patterns on bisque drinking cups.
Gitran makes the water more fragrant and is said to be good for the teeth.

Some Indigenous peoples, such as the Dineh, have traditionally used juniper to treat diabetes.
Animal studies have shown that treatment with juniper may retard the development of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.
Native Americans  have also used juniper berries as a female contraceptive.
The 17th Century herbalist physician Nicholas Culpeper recommended the ripened berries for conditions such as asthma and sciatica, as well as to speed childbirth
