Pork With Creamy Apple And Onion
INGREDIENTS:

•2 pork fillets, around 400-500g each
•2 Granny Smith (green) apples, cored and cut into wedges
•3 Spanish (red) onions, cut into quarters
•12 prunes, pitted
•2 teasp caster sugar
•1/2 cup cream
•2 tablsp chives, chopped
•2 tablsp brandy (cognac)
•50g butter, melted

PROCEDURES:
Prepare the pork fillets by removing any fat and silvery sinew.
Now you need to make one slit in each fillet and insert 3 prunes,
lengthways, into each slit.
Brush the apple pieces, onion pieces and pork fillets with the melted
butter.
Sprinkle the sugar over the apple and onion pieces.
Brown the pork on a pre-heated hot plate, on high and then add the
onion and apple pieces.
Cook, turning frequently, for 8-9 minutes, or until the pork is cooked
through and the apple and onion are softened. Turn off the heat and
close the hood on the BBQ to keep them warm.
In a small saucepan, on the wok burner, mix the chives, brandy and
cream together. Simmer for around 3 minutes until slightly thickened
and then season with salt and pepper.
Slice the meat into 2-3cm thick slices and serve with apple and onion
pieces. Drizzle the brandy sauce over the top.

Beef and Barley Stew with Mushrooms

Beef and Barley Stew with Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS:

•2 Tbsp unsalted butter
•2-3 pounds beef chuck, cut into chunks
•Salt
•3 cups chopped onions
•1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, quartered if small or 1/4-inch sliced
•1 quart beef or chicken broth
•3 cups water
•2 teaspoons dried marjoram
•1 cup pearl barley
•1 cup roughly chopped carrot
•3 cups celery root, peeled and chopped into 3/4-inch to 1-inch chunks
•Black pepper
•About 1/2 cup sour cream (around 1 Tbsp sour cream per serving)
•Dill for garnish

PROCEDURES:
In a Dutch oven or other large, lidded pot, melt the butter over medium-high
heat. Add enough pieces of the beef to sear in the pot without crowding. You will
need to brown the meat in several batches. Salt the beef as it cooks, and set aside
browned pieces in a bowl.
When all the beef has browned, add the onions. As the onions release some of
their water, use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of
the pot. Sprinkle a little salt over the onions as they cook. Lower the heat to
medium and cook the onions until they begin to brown, 5-6 minutes.
When the onions have lightly browned, mix in the mushrooms and increase the
heat to high. Cook the mushrooms until they release their water, about 2-3
minutes.
Add the beef back to the pot and sprinkle with marjoram. Add 1 cup of the stock
and use the wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
Add the rest of the stock and water and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot, lower
the heat to low and simmer very gently for 1 hour.
Add the barley, celery root and carrots, stir well and recover the pot. Simmer
gently until the barley and celery root are tender, between 40 minutes and an
hour.
Ladle servings into bowls, then top with a dollop of sour cream and a few sprigs
of dill. Grind a little black pepper over right before you serve. To eat, stir in the
sour cream.

Leche Flan

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water

7-8 egg yolks
1 can less 1/4 cup
condensed milk (I used low
fat)
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 tsp lemon extract

PROCEDURES:
1. Put sugar and water (A) in a pan. Let boil under moderate
heat. Let sugar melt and water evaporate. When syrup is thick
and amber colored pour into llaneras (oval flan molds) or
ramekins will also do. Let cool.
2. Combine egg yolks, condensed milk and evaporated milk.
Blend well. Add lemon extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour mixture into llaneras or baking tins (1 inch thick).
(Make sure sugar syrup is completely cooled before pouring
the mixture). Cover llaneras with foil so water doesn’t get into
the custard mixture while steaming.
4. You can cook these either baine-marie style or you can
simply steam it. I prefer to use the latter method since it’s a lot
simpler. Use high heat initially until water boils then lower the
heat to low. Cook for about 45 minutes to one hour depending
how thick you made your custard.
5. When done, chill.
6. To serve – unmold leche flan by running a thin knife
around the llanera. Put a serving plate on top of the llanera,
up-side-down. Invert and remove llanera.

Lightly spray a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan and line with
parchment paper. Sift flour with baking powder and
salt and set aside.
 In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high for
several minutes until they are very pale and fluffy.
Gradually add in the sugar, beating 1 to 2 minutes
more or until very thick. Gently, but thoroughly, fold
in the flour mixture.
 Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low
heat. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of
water with the 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur and the
remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the baking soda,
then gradually stir into the melted chocolate until
smooth. Quickly, but thoroughly, fold chocolate
mixture into batter.

 Pour batter into prepared 10x15 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175

onto the prepared cloth as soon as it comes from the oven. Carefully peel
away parchment paper. Lightly dust top of cake with confectioners
sugar, then trim away crisp edges. Starting with one of the short sides of the
cake, immediately roll the cake up in the cloth, jellyroll style, and cool
thoroughly on a rack.

melted chocolate. Unroll the cake and spread about 1/3 of the filling evenly
over the surface. Roll the cake back up.
 Arrange cake roll on serving tray, then frost generously, swiping with an
icing spatula to form the long 'bark line' design. Swipe ends of cake in a
circular motion to simulate the tree-rings of a cut log. Decorate log as
desired with holly leaves and berries, mushrooms and snow.
