Dinner----Steak Tartare



Steak Tartare was on the menu last night, with a side of crunchy asparagus, topped with fresh lettuce. Please excuse the photos I do think they came out a little fuzzy. For all those who enjoy eating raw meat, it can be quiet tasty if desired.
When I first had-Steak Tartare I was in a little place in the south of France. One chef for twenty people. (Served, platted, he did everything!)
This meal all preparation and time to serve along with my added sides, total 15 minutes. You must eat the meat fresh...(Meat product--a nice chopped sirloin very finely cut...Only the best for this meal, when making it! I used of course always, salt/pepper, Dijon Mustard, oil, mayo, ketchup, fresh capers, fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, finely chopped shallot onion and one sweet onion. Must mix everything very well, you will see the color of the meat change, which turns to flavor! Most important:( 1 egg yolk in center of the steak tartare-leave half of the shell for a nice presentation.) For those who need a Little spice add some Tabasco, a great treat!!
Very delicious...Red wine is an exactly choice with this meal.....

Tonight!!-Pan Fried Cod Fillets With Zucchini


French Term:---Filets de cabillaud poeles aux courgettes-----!!!
PAN FRIED COD

Yummy yummy!!! This meal took 35 minutes, I topped it off with wild rice (30 minutes cooking)---Cod Fish (5 minutes)---First pan you sort of boil the oil and butter with a little salt and pepper and a dash of fresh garlic(take out the germ---very important.) Put the slices of Zucchini in (peeled and in quarter cuts-a dash of chopped Finley red onion.) Sweet taste.....Cook 5 minutes put aside and cover with foil to keep warm....
Next pan--oil, butter, fresh chopped parsley, salt/pepper---a little flour in pan and than you let it get hot a little-----put cod fish in seasoning it first...Takes about 6 minutes!!! Done!!!
I hope you enjoy this meal-it was great!!! Enjoy! (Cod Fish is very flaky-though doing it this way-kept the fish firm.))
Look forward for all to be in my restaurant someday--the light house in the Bahamas. This is my dream and my goal. First night everything will be free!!!

Dinner Last Night! Lamb--Tranches de gigot a la tomate(Lamb Leg Steaks With Tomato Sauce)


Cooking this for dinner was relatively easy and quick. Just a few things to prepare.
I had about eight pieces of lamb and I salt and peppered and sprinkled the lamb, with cummin as well. Next in the pan, melt some butter(unsalted), add a little sea salt and a little oil. Throw in some fresh thyme and rosemary as well. Set aside!!
Second pan chop up about three tomatoes(peeled and seeded a Little, five cloves of garlic (take out the germ.) One whole onion chopped finely, mix everything in the pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Also, add a little red wine to the mixture, this brings out a sweet flavor for the sauce.
Once done move aside and cover with foil to keep it hot!!
Start pan frying the lamb now and also, add just a dash of red wine! Add a dash of cummin in as well at this time.(Always salt and pepper too.) Cooking around 10 minutes as well, than add the sauce we made to the lamb, cook another 5 to seven minutes. Taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle a little fresh parsley for color!
Enjoy!!!!!

Desert-Tarte au chocolat amer-Bittersweet Chocolate Tart


This desert I made with dinner last night, fun and wonderful. Very simple! Used a little milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. I also, used to different kinds of chocolate along with one egg. I added crushed almonds to the mixture. The topping is cocoa. From the pie crust which is (pate sablee)-Rich Crust for Pies and Tarts. In making the crust, sugar, flour, pure vanilla and two egg yolks, and eight slices of unsalted butter.
This desert takes about 20-25 minutes to bake at 300 in the oven.
Enjoy!
