Condiments and Sauces / Salsa de curry (Curry sauce)
« on: May 06, 2012, 07:01:11 pm »
Name of Recipe:  Salsa de curry (Curry sauce)

Makes  300g

Ingredients  
3 eggs yolks
250g milk
½ tsp curry powder
Pepper
Salt

Preparation:  
Tip all of the ingredients into the  *: 4 minutes / 80° / Speed 4

Tips/Hints:  Serve this sauce with pork, lamb or chicken.  You can also use it to add flavour to a stew, lentils, or a plate of vegetables

[If you like to make your own spice mixes, then add your chosen mix, to taste, instead of the curry powder.  Having made this today, I felt that instead of the salt and pepper, it could have done with a teaspoon of Bron's Spanish vegetable stock concentrate and that the curry powder could have done with being cooked out a bit in some oil or butter, before adding the rest of the ingredients.  I also increased the spice by adding 1 tsp jalfrezi masala plus 1tsp of basar (a spice mix from Pakistan).

DH said that this would be excellent with noodles and small pieces of chicken as a type of home-made Pot Noodle]

I read (Heston) that clarification using egg whites was the only way to clear a vegetable consommé because it doesn't contain any gelatine.  I am not sure that I agree, in fact I don't.  The photo below is of some veg stock I usually make and I have always ice-filtered it before.  It looks lovely and clear to me.  I tried the egg version today and whilst it did clear the stock in the pan, removing the egg white was a pain as bits of it disintergrated whilst I was doing it and even filtering through 4 layers of cheesecloth left bits floating around.  A lot of the egg had also stuck to the bottom of the (non-stick) pan.

My question is that has anyone else had this problem with egg white clarification?  Also  I am unsure why ice-filtering works for me, yet it is not supposed to  ???

Thanks

Name of Recipe:  Salsa a la pimienta verde (Green peppercorn sauce)

Makes 700g

Ingredients  
Sofrito
50g butter
20g extra virgin olive oil
100g onion

Add the rest of the peppercorns 3 minutes / 90° / Speed 1.

Condiments and Sauces / Tomate frito
« on: May 02, 2012, 10:50:42 am »
Name of Recipe:  Tomate frito

Serves:  Makes 1kg

Ingredients: 
50g extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
100g onion
100g carrots (optional)
1kg tinned, chopped tomatoes
30g sugar
Salt and pepper
A few basil leaves (optional)

Preparation: 
Pour the oil into the  *: 3 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1.
Add the garlic, onion and carrots 10 seconds / Speed 5 [push down ingredients in the  *:] then 7 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 3½.
Push down the ingredients in the  *: and put the internal steaming basket on the lid to avoid splashes.
Add the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients 30 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1.
If you want it thicker, you can cook it for 5-10 minutes longer, so that the liquid evaporates.  If using basil, do not add it until the last few minutes.

Tips/Hints:  You can use fresh tomatoes, but they must be very red and ripe.  Make a cut into them and drain off all the liquid, by pressing them with your hands.  You will have to blitz them very well at Speed 6-7, until you have a purée.  Take them out and reserve to add to the sofrito once it is made, because if they are blended together, they will lose their lovely red colour.

If, once the whole sauce has finished cooking, you want to blitz the tomatoes more, do not do this whilst the sauce is hot.  Wait until it has cooled a little and blitz at Speed 7, but remember that by doing this you will get more of an orange colour.
