Title: Granny’s Broth (Cawl Mamgu) Welsh
Categories: Soups
Servings: 4

2 lb Best end of neck Welsh lamb 1 ea Small swede (Turnip)
1/2 lb Carrots 1 lb Potatoes
2 ea Large leeks 1 oz Parsley
1/2 oz Flour 1 x Salt and pepper

Put the meat into the saucepan, cover with cold water, add salt and pepper,
bring slowly to the boil and skin carefully. (This can be done the night
before and the fat allowed to set on the surface. This makes it easier to
skim off.)

Then add the carrots (cut in half), the swede (sliced) and the white of the
leeks, and simmer gently for 2 – 2 1/2 hours.
Add the potatoes (cut in four) and continue to simmer for another 30
minutes.

When the potatoes are almost cooked, thicken with flour and a little water.

Lastly, add the green of the leeks and parsley (chopped) and simmer for
further 10 minutes and serve in basins while hot.

Cawl was the dish most commonly served for dinner on the farm during the
winter months in th ecounties of South and West Wales.

The broth itself would be served in basins or bowls, with bread, and the
meat and vegetables served as a second course.

Title: DYRESTEG (ROAST VENISON W/GOAT CHEESE SAUCE)
Categories: Norwegian, Meats, Main dish
Yield: 6 servings

3 1/2 lb Boneless haunch of venison
-or reindeer
3 tb Butter; softened
Salt pepper
1 1/3 c Beef stock
1 tb Butter
1 tb Flour
2 ts Red currant jelly
1/2 oz Brown Norwegian goat cheese;
-(Gjet”st), finely diced
1/2 c Sour cream

Preheat oven to 475øF.
Tie the roaast up neatly at 1/2″ intervals with kitchen cord so that
it will hold it’s shape while cooking. With a pastry brush, spread the
softened butter evenly over the meat. Place the roast on a rack in a
shallow open roasting pan and sear it in the hot oven for about 20
minutes. When the surface of the meat is quite brown, reduce the heat
to 375øF and sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. Pour
the stock into the pan and cook the roast, uncovered, for 1 1/4
hours. With a large spoon or bulb baster, baste the meat with the pan
juices every half hour or so. The interior meat, when finished,
should be slightly rare, or about 150øF on a meat thermometer. Remove
the roast to a heated platter, cover it loosely and let rest in the
turned off oven while you make the sauce.
Skim and discard the fat from the pan juices. Measure the remaining
liquid and either reduce to 1 cup by boiling it rapidly or add enough
water to make up 1 cup. In a small, heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon
of butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of flour. Stirring continuously
with a wooden spoon, cook this roux for 6 to 8 minutes over low heat
until it is a nut brown color. Be careful not to let it burn or it
will give the sauce a bitter flavor. Now, with a wire whisk, beat the
pan juices into the roux. Next whisk in the jelly and cheese. Beat
until they dissolve and the sauce is absolutely smooth, then stir in
the sour cream. Do not allow the sauce to boil. Taste for seasoning,
remove the strings from the roast and carve the meat in thin slices.
Pass the sauce separately.

Title: MOCK FISH BUDDHIST
Categories: Vegetarian, Chinese
Yield: 1 servings

1 lg Potato; cooked, peeled
-and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tb Flour
Peanut oil; for frying
1 sm Onion; sliced
1/2 lb Snow peas
10 Wood ears; soaked to soften,
– tough ends removed,
– cut in slivers
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar
1/3 c Water

Sprinkle potatoes with flour and deep-fry until
golden.
Drain and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons
of the oil, reheat an add onion. Stir-fry 10 seconds
and add snow peas and wood ears. Stir-fry another 10
seconds and add salt, sugar and water. Bring to rapid
boil, stirring constantly, and cook until peas are
just tender crisp. Add reserved fried potato slices,
heat through and serve.
Wood ears are a type of mushroom or shelf fungus.
When soaked it has a crunchy, gelatinous texture with
little taste. If you can’t find them, I imagine that
you could use the dried mushrooms although they
wouldn’t give exactly the same effect. A closer
substitute would be dried jellyfish, but if you’re
some- where that sells dried jellyfish, I’m sure that
they have wood ears as well…
