​ D
​ runken Gravy (Red Wine Gravy) About ​ 10-​-15 minutes before
serving, take out 3-​-4 ladlefuls of the winey cooking liquid, being sure to
fish out the garlic. Add this to a small saucepan. Let it cool slightly, then
skim off the layer of fat that then covers the surface and discard.
Shoulder is a fattier cut than leg of lamb or some other popular cuts.
Bring this liquid to a boil and keep it there for a few minutes until the
sauce thickens. As you stir, mash the garlic cloves into the sauce. When
reduced into a thicker sauce add a swirl of double cream (about a
tablespoon or two) and stir well. Season, and then strain into a warm
jug and serve with the meat. This dish is perfect for entertaining or for a
lazy Sunday lunch with family. The slow cooker takes care of all the
hard work leaving just some last minute tinkering to be done for the
gravy and vegetables.

garlic 2 tablespoons

chili powder 1
teaspoon ground cumin

chili powder, ground cumin, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. ​Put the steak

in a glass dish and pour this southwestern steak recipe marinade over it,

turning the meat well to make sure it is evenly coated. ​Cover the dish

and chill the marinated steak for an hour at least, or up to 12 hours.

Chicken Kitchen (Chinese Chicken


Marinade)

Ingredients ​6 frozen
chicken drumsticks 2.5
cups of water 2.5 cups
of chicken marinade

high heat until running boil. Reduce heat to med-​-high for approximately
40 minutes.
It’s All Gravy​ Gravy from roast or chicken residue in roasting pan:

After meat is cooked, take meat out of roasting pan. Turn to low heat
(2/10). Add flour slowly while mixing evenly until thick (wasabi texture).
Stir and let flour cook for 3-​-4 minutes. Increase heat to medium (5/10)
until simmering. Start adding water slowly while mixing evenly until
slightly thinner than desired as it thickens as it cools, preferrably from
steamed/boiled veggies (consistency should be a constant stream from
stirring spoon). Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat (3/10),
simmer allowing for salts to enhance flavour.

Gourmet
Dishes

Fam Lamb (Slow Cooked Shoulder of Lamb with Red


Wine) ​Serves 2-​-3 (can be doubled easily as long as meat
will fit in slow cooker)

Ingredients ​1 glass red wine 1 wine glass filled with


water Shoulder of lamb, weighing approx 900g 3 fat
cloves garlic left whole but crushed with the side of a
knife 2 bay leaves

Directions ​Set the slow cooker on high. Put in the lamb shoulder and
scatter the garlic cloves on top. Pour over the wine and the water and
toss in the bay leaves. Put the lid on the crock pot and cook for 5-​-6

hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. ​Because the meat

will be meltingly soft it is impossible to carve it with a knife. Two dessert



spoons are much more effective in this case to scoop and shred the meat
before serving. Great with ​Red Wine Gravy

ounces Vodka (see Tips for options)

Directions ​Bring water to a rolling boil then remove from heat. Stir
together boiling water and powdered gelatin in a medium mixing bowl. Stir
constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in cold water and
Vodka. Pour mixture into shot glasses or individual shot-​-size (1oz-​-2oz)

until firm. Approx. 2-​-4 hours. Refrigerate until served. ​Makes 40 1oz.

shots or 20 2oz. shots ​ ​Orange 'Shot' Slices Cut ​ oranges in half.


Use a spoon to cut around the edges between the rind and inner skin.
Remove the fruit, leaving just the rind of half an orange. Fill the halves
with gelatin shot mixture. Refrigerate until firm. Cut orange halves into
thirds. Enjoy. Tips Chill alcohol at least one hour prior to adding to
mixture. (not in freezer) Depending on the proof of alcohol you use,
adjust the proportions of alcohol to cold water to ensure that the shot still
sets. Use the following ratios: 13 ounces of 30-​-50 (~20%) proof alcohol
to 3 ounces cold water 10 ounces 80-​-100 (~45%) proof alcohol to 6
ounces cold water (U.S. standard) 6 ounces 150-​-200 proof alcohol to

10 ounces cold water ​If you would like more "potent" shots, you can

"push" the recipe a bit. This variation makes


​ 6 large cups with 2 ounces
of alcohol each, or 12 small cups with 1oz of alcohol each, yet still sets

hard and tastes great. ​Although shot glasses look prettier and allow you

to see the vibrant colors of the Jello,


​ paper cups allow for easier Jello
shot consumption as they can be turned inside out. Ice cube trays also

work well. ​When serving large parties use more water and less alcohol

in your shots to help cut costs


​ and better control intoxication.
To make the jello easier to consume, buy plastic cups that also have lids.
Pour the mix into the cup, add the lid, then turn it upside down prior to

refrigeration. ​Be creative in mixing Jello flavors with alcohol. If you


have a favorite alcoholic drink, try
​ converting it into Jello shot form using

unflavored Jello, juice, soda and alcohol. ​Orange and cherry are Jello

flavors that work well with Brandy. ​ ​You can match fruit flavored liquor

with fruit flavored Jello. ​ ​Here are some popular liquor and Jello flavor

combinations: Lime​ Jello with tequila and Triple Sec (+ a pinch of salt
to the liquid) Lime Jello with Coconut Rum Orange jello with orange
cognac and brandy (such as Grand Marnier) or peach Schnapps
Unflavored gelatin with Coca Cola and rum Cranberry Jello with vodka
Cherry Jello with cherry brandy Raspberry jello with raspberry Schnapps
Tropical fruit Jello (or unflavored gelatin mixed with fruit punch) with dark
rum or mango liqueur Unflavored Jello with lemonade and whiskey
Strawberry Jello with light rum and strawberry liqueur (such as Pucker)

chicken broth. Gather remaining dough and roll flat. Cut as many dog
biscuits as you can. I usually roll the last little bit of dough into a ball
and then flatten for a traditional cookie shape. Brush the egg wash onto
each cookie. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely

on a wire rack. ​Yield: Approximately 2 dozen dog biscuits using a 2"

cookie cutter. Storing:


​ These chicken broth dog biscuits are baked hard
so they will last for 4 weeks in the refrigerator. They will be good for

approximately 6 months in the freezer. ​Tips & Techniques Salt


​ -​-
Chicken broth can be high in salt. We recommend a low sodium organic
chicken broth for this homemade dog biscuit recipe. You can also make
your own homemade chicken broth, but be sure to review the foods
poisonous to dogs list to avoid using something that could be dangerous
to your dog. Beef -​- Try using beef broth instead of the chicken broth,
or a combination of both for a real flavor packed punch.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Using a slow cooker for preparing Slow Cooked Shoulder of Lamb with Red Wine offers multiple benefits over traditional oven cooking such as enhanced flavor integration due to the extended cooking time and low temperature, which allows for the lamb to soak up the richness of the wine and garlic. The slow cooker also provides a hands-off approach, allowing the cook to attend to other tasks, ensuring consistent heat distribution, and preventing the meat from drying out. Additionally, it leaves the meat very tender and falling off the bone, which contrasts with the higher maintenance and potential for variable cooking results in an oven .

To accommodate higher altitude conditions when baking Banana Split Bread, adjustments such as increasing baking temperature by 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit and reducing sugar by about a tablespoon could help counteract the faster evaporation and reduced atmospheric pressure. Additional moisture may be needed; hence, slightly increasing the liquid components such as milk or bananas can prevent dryness. Incorporating these changes would ensure proper rise, texture, and a balanced end-product .

To achieve the desired consistency for Drunken Gravy, you should first take 3-4 ladlefuls of the winey cooking liquid 10-15 minutes before serving and cool it slightly to skim off the fat. Bring the liquid to a boil and keep it there until it thickens. You then mash the garlic cloves into the sauce. Once reduced, add a swirl of double cream and stir well. Season the sauce before straining it into a warm jug for serving .

Using butter in the shortbread recipe typically yields a richer flavor profile due to its higher fat content and natural creaminess, which adds depth to the taste. It also provides a creamier texture that can enhance the melt-in-the-mouth quality of the shortbread. Margarine, being less flavorful and having a higher moisture content, might yield shortbread that is softer yet less rich in flavor. The texture with margarine can be less flaky, though it remains a suitable option for specific dietary restrictions or cost-effectiveness .

Soaking steel cut oats in milk before adding them to the Blueberry Oat Scones mixture allows the oats to soften and absorb moisture, reducing their firm texture and resulting in a more tender scone. This pre-soaking step ensures that the oats integrate seamlessly into the dough, preventing dry or chewy bits in the finished product, while also releasing some of their starches for added cohesiveness and slight sweetness to the overall flavor .

The curry paste in the Beef Brisket Curry Sauce and Rice Combo serves as the primary flavoring agent, imparting a rich and complex taste profile through its spices. It plays a critical role in thickening the sauce, as the paste integrates with the liquid components like coconut milk and broth, adhering to the meat and vegetables to enhance the overall mouthfeel. Additionally, its oily base helps extract and preserve the natural flavors of the dish, allowing for a harmonized, aromatic experience .

When grilling Charbroiled Salmon Steaks, it is important to evenly season both sides with a blend of salt, pepper, and paprika and to shave butter over the top to add moisture and richness. Ensuring steaks are around 1 inch thick helps them cook evenly without drying out. Wrapping them in aluminum foil traps heat for thorough cooking while preventing direct exposure to flames, which could otherwise lead to charring and a loss of moisture, thus maintaining optimal texture .

Graham cracker crumbs in the Instant Lemon Dessert crust provide structural stability due to their coarse texture which, when mixed with butter, forms a compact base that holds its shape well. The natural sweetness and distinct flavor of the graham crackers complement the tartness of the lemon filling, enriching the overall flavor profile and providing a contrast to the creamy texture of the filling, making it a classic choice for this type of dessert .

Gradually adding chicken broth while preparing the rice cake dish ensures that the chili paste is fully dissolved and the rice cakes are submerged, which is crucial for their softening. This gradual process prevents the paste from clumping and allows even cooking of the rice cakes, resulting in a softer texture throughout and a thickened sauce that is evenly flavored .

Incorporating melted butter into the Blueberry Oat Scones mixture hydrates the oats and flour evenly, which aids in creating a tender crumb as the fat coats flour particles, reducing gluten formation. The result is a scone that is not only moist but also slightly flaky due to the partial incorporation of the butter in its liquid state, providing both richness and a delicate texture .
