西班牙海鲜饭 PAELLA

西班牙海鲜饭 PAELLA
瓦伦西亚是位于西班牙南部的小镇,这里一直被誉为西班牙的“粮仓”,是西班牙著名的美食之都,更是欧洲海鲜饭的发源地!海鲜饭本是流传于乡村的大杂烩式农家饭,19世纪传到瓦伦西亚后,慢慢加入更丰富的佐料,形成海鲜饭的雏形。而现如今的西班牙海鲜饭已经和意大利面、法国蜗牛齐名。

1、鸡腿4只,切小块。大红椒1个、 香菜一大勺、 海鲜425克 、500ml米、 2瓣蒜 、1个中型洋葱 、高汤1升(或一个高汤块)、青豆250ml、1个柠檬、chorizo(西班牙的一种肉肠)125g,切片
2、锅中放油,中火煎鸡腿2——3分钟,拿出。
3、中火炒香菜、红椒和海鲜1分钟,拿出。
4、洋葱和蒜爆锅1分钟,直至金黄放入米,保证每粒米都沾上油。放入刚刚炒过的鸡肉、海鲜等,再加入青豆、chorizo搅拌均匀,最后倒入藏红花和高汤。(海鲜饭金黄的颜色就来自于藏红花,是专门做海鲜饭上色的粉粉)
5、大火烧开搅拌,转小火盖锅盖15分钟,直至没有水分。(正宗的海鲜饭是夹生的,所以15分钟米饭不熟,如果不喜欢吃夹生米,再倒点水继续焖熟就行。PS:一定要用平底不粘锅!)
6、关火,但盖着盖子焖5分钟。上桌的时候摆上柠檬。吃的时候可根据自己爱好洒些柠檬汁。

How to make perfect Scone:





How to make perfect Scone:
Scones became popular and an essential part of the fashionable ritual of taking tea in England when Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788 – 1861), one late afternoon, ordered the servants to bring tea and some sweet breads, which included scones. She was so delighted by this, that she ordered it every afternoon and what now has become an English tradition is the “Afternoon Tea Time” (precisely at 4:00 p.m.). They are still served daily with the traditional clotted cream topping in Britain.
What you will need:
To follow this scone recipe, you will need 8oz of self-raising flour, a pinch of salt, 2 oz of granulated sugar, 3 oz margarine and 1-2 fluid oz of semi skimmed milk. This scone recipe makes 6 scones and is for a basic plain sweet scone.
Your Scone Recipe & Instructions....
Scones are funny creatures, rather like making a traditional english yorkshire pudding - practice makes perfect (well nearly)!
Start by mixing the flour, salt & sugar together in a large bowl. Next rub in the margarine to the dry ingredients (try not to use the tips of your fingers as they tend to be warm and melt the margarine too quickly.
When thoroughly mixed in it should look similar to bread crumbs, now onto the tricky bit...
lowly pour 1/2 of the milk into your mix and stir gently (I use my fingers to do this). The mix will start to come together gradually. Add more of the milk until you have a soft, firm ball. The less you handle the mix at this stage, the better and lighter your scones will be.

Next dust your work surface with flour and knead the mixture lightly - roll out to approx 1" thick and using a 2" cutter cut out your scones. Place the scones on a non-sticky baking sheet. Gather up any remaining dough and re-roll / cut out until all of the dough is used. Brush the top of the scones with milk and bake for approx 20 minutes in a fan oven set at 190 degrees. Try not to open the oven door before 15 minutes or your scones may collapse. The best way to check if they are ready is to gently squeeze one of your scones between your thumb and index finger (they should be firm but still slightly soft). Cool on a wire rack and serve your scones!

Remember practice makes perfect and good luck!

威灵顿牛柳-Beef Wellington




白金汉宫的威灵顿牛柳-Beef Wellington


从前英国皇家宴会,都要大块肉才显宫廷的豪华气派,威灵顿牛柳-Beef Willington就是其中之一。

时间是这道菜的关键,将最顶级牛柳去掉肥肉,用湿布抹干净,海盐、黑胡椒调味,涂上厚厚的一层鹅肝酱,可加点甜酒吊味。牛油爆香牛肝菌,调味后铺在牛柳上,放上黑松露。压扁一块酥皮,将它包裹着牛柳,最后将蛋黄、牛奶、水和盐搅和,涂在酥皮表面。

在烤碟铺一片纸,用油涂之,把包好的牛柳放下,酥皮接合处朝下,在酥皮上用小刀割几个洞,让牛肉透气。用120度烤出生的,130度烤出半生熟,140度烤出全熟,时间15分钟,但这都要看焗炉大小和经验才能烤出完美。有个小秘诀,如果酥皮焗得太黄,可以铺一层锡纸盖住。这时的威灵顿牛柳可以拿出来了,切记要放凉15分钟才切片。

材料

  牛柳、菠菜、酥皮、百里香、洋葱末、红酒、黄汁、黄油、盐、胡椒

  

制作

  (1)牛柳加盐、胡椒、红酒、百里香腌渍入味,在扒炉上煎上色。

  (3)摊开酥皮,放上菠菜末,再放入煎好的牛柳,将酥皮卷起,黏合封口后放入200摄氏度的烤箱,烤至酥皮呈金黄色。

  (4)用黄油将洋葱末炒香,加入红酒、黄汁,收浓后加盐、胡椒调味,即成红酒汁。

  (5)将(3)切成厚片装盆,配上红酒汁即可。
