Title: Have a corn meat recipe that I would like some advice on
Post by: mrsmac on January 17, 2012, 04:15:46 am

I have a dreampot and it has a beautiful recipe for corn meat, converting seems straight forward, however the original recipe allows the flavour in the water to permeate the meat thus changing the flavour of it.  My question is how can I get the same or similar result in thermie?  The recipe is as follows:
1.5kg corn meat
1c brown sugar (I've always used raw sugar)
1c brown vinegar
1tbsp French mustard(again I use wholegrain mustard)
Hot water (going by other recipes approx. 1.5l)
 
When I followed the basic corn meat recipe here, the flavour was just permeating the veggies but didn't go through the meat, any suggestions, for those that don't overly enjoy c/meat this modifies it's flavour that even my dh's cousin (who dislikes c/meat) to get the recipe off me as she loved it.

mrsmac, if you put the corned meat (beef I presume) in the steaming basket and not in the varoma dish, some of it surely would be immersed in the liquid if you are using 1.5 litres of water plus other ingredients.  This may be too much for the TM bowl with a basket and meat so you may need to adjust the quantities.  I'd just turn the meat so both ends get equal time in the liquid.

Thanks for that JD, will do that next time we cook it and yes I will most likely reduce not only the water qty but probably the sugar and vinegar too as that may be too overpowering taste wise.

Your kitchen looks lovely. It looks very comfortable, the type of kitchen that you feel like you hanging out in.

The kitchen in our old house was like yours. It had a good feel. When we had company everyone seemed to just hang out in the kitchen.

I don't like the kitchen in our current house as much.  It looks ok but it is not functional. It is quite a large space in area but has limited bench space.  I am thinking about installing an island bench.

fundj - I had the same reaction as Dashingden . . . it's just the kitchen I would love to have!!!! :) :)  And that feeling is generated by the people whose kitchen it is :D :D
