If kids were allowed to dictate dinner plans we'd all live on mac anc cheese and corn dogs. The time is now to enjoy grown up food, not when they are off in college. Paul |

Oh, I forgot to say, I assume you cook all the > roasted veggies in a separate roasting pan and not mixed in with the rib > juices? I think there would be too much to cook in with the rib. Yes, separately. Some cook the roast on a bed of sacrificial aromatic vegetables but I've not found that to add much to the roast. For me, it's a heavy coating of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper only. Paul |

It's not the amount of time that I'm thinking about. I steam veggies all the time- It's just being able to keep some sense of order in the kitchen, and at that point in the meal prep (by steaming time) I usually have 2 kids tugging on me and the house is chaos, so I'd rather just pop something in the oven and not have to worry about the extra pots. It's not mandatory or anything I was just hoping to avoid the last minute thing. However I pulled a bunch of great green bean recipes out of last months Find Cooking Magazine last night so I may use one of those. laurie > > -- > See return address to reply by email |

If the meat surface is over about 185F, it's steaming from the juices migrating to the surface. If there's a Maillard crust on the surface of the meat, the steamy environment will soften it. > The tent slows the rate of cooling so juices can more readily > be reabsorbed rather than they drip into the pan, Meat juices once lost are never *never* reabsorbed. Fats rendered are fats now outside the meat. They don't go back in, as a moment's glance at a cold roast pan can attest. Water-based juices are in the pan because the proteins that once held them have released them. Cooked meats don't reabsorb those juices because the proteins are permanently changed by cooking. If meats did reabsorb juices, there would never need to be a dry roast or a dry bird. > and the tent > increases humidity so the meat surface does not become tough... Nah. The meat surface doesn't "become tough" if not tented. It's as tough as it's going to get when taken out of the oven, and that is determined by the degree of doneness - the absolute temperature - it is. Any crust that might be there softens a bit because of the moisture in the air - the water vapor. > humidity ain't steam, were it we'd all be dead... <LOL> Steam is a variant of humidity. Water vapor is another word for it. Humidity is a measure of how much water vapor is in air. Poor Cookie Katz can't get past his navy definition of steam from 40 years ago > no steam is produced, > not inside the oven, not outside the oven, no steam is created from > tenting. <LOL> So when a person wearing glasses opens the oven and their glasses fog, there's no steam? Moron. Let's get all technical here. Steam is generally thought of as different than the wisps of water vapor we can clearly see evaporating from every roast ever done, every pan any roast has ever sat in, and every foil tent that has rivers of condensation inside it. Most common usage says that steam is invisible and under pressure, but the simple fact is that steam is the vapor product of boiling water, under pressure or not. So steam is indeed created in ovens. Every time we cook in an oven, there's steam as a product. It's exactly what happens in a loaf of bread, a meat roast, a braise, or anything else. No steam is *created* by tenting; but steam is most certainly restricted in movement by tenting. > I've watched Mario Bertali's shows enough to learn he's about > the dumbest embarrassment to humanity of all foodtv personalities, he's > your typical ignorant dago pasta bender, can barely speak without > constantly stumbling over his own greasy WOP tongue...

She doesn't know where you live. ;-) > I googled for Barb's green bean soup and couldn't find it. Could you > post it please? And the spinach casserole sounds pretty tasty too. Sure! I forget what the original name of the recipe was, but Barb was the one who posted it (and she's posted it more than once), so that's what I call it: Barb's Green Bean Soup 1 lb fresh green beans in 3/4" pieces 4 cups chicken stock 2 tsp. salt (Barb says she omits this) 1 clove garlic on a toothpick 1 tsp. vinegar 2 Tbsp. butter 1 small onion chopped fine 1 tsp. paprika 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley 2 Tbsp. flour 1/4 cup sour cream at room temperature Cook beans, salt, vinegar and garlic in chicken stock about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Make roux from everything else except sour cream. Dilute with 1 cup bean broth, then stir back into beans and broth. Simmer 10 minutes until tender. Remove the garlic. Mix 2 tablespoons soup into the sour cream then pour back into soup. Do not boil. Correct the seasoning. Advance preparation: Wash beans, chop onion, chop parsley. Combine onion, parsley, paprika, and butter in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Spinach casserole (posted to RFC by Cate in November 2003) 4 10 oz packages frozen spinach 1 stick butter 6 to 8 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan or parmeggiano-reggiano cheese 1 cup pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped Preheat oven to 350 F. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil spinach for just a couple of minutes--only long enough to get it thoroughly unfrozen. Meanwhile, melt butter and cream cheese together. Drain spinach and put into mixing bowl. Fold melted mixture with spinach, add salt and pepper to taste, and put it in a casserole dish. Sprinkle parmesan on top. Sprinkle nuts on top of parmesan. Heat dish uncovered for 30 minutes, checking every few minutes to see if the cheese is getting too dark. Cover casserole dish with foil if it is getting too dark. Serves 6ish. CATE'S COMMENT: You can of course use fresh spinach instead, which tastes better than the frozen. I've only done it once and guessed at the proper amount, but I used a half pound, which worked out fine. Bob |

> Mushroom Casserole It looks incredibly rich! I think it's something I would love to try. What is the consistency like after it's baked? How many does it serve? We do Prme Rib on Christmas Eve. My sister and I take turns hosting for the family. It's her turn this year, which means I will either be doing baked potatoes with all the trimmings or some sort of au gratin or scalloped potato dish. I am also quite partial to mashed rutabagas with the au jus from the rare roast ladled over them. I'll probably volunteer to make those as well. A very early flight on Christmas Day will find me on the left coast with "He Who Has Stolen My Heart" .... His menu for that day is exquisite. We have a little baking do to as well. I am really looking forward to this! --Lin (feeling like a kid at Christmas this year!) |

This year's will be: Thanks for the menu. Quick question for the yorkshire pudding group- my recipes for both the yorkshire pudding and the au jus sauce indicate that I need all of the pan drippings for each one. So to do both, what do you do? Divide the drippings? Add beef broth? laurie > > Appetizers: > > flatbread and spread > sausage stuffed mushrooms > > Dinner: > > Cucumber, Radish And Green Onion Salad/Chili-Lime Dressing > roast beef > Yorkshire pudding > potato gratin with mustard and cheddar cheese > broccoli casserole > refrigerator rolls > cranberry relish > > > Yule Log > Bavarian Almond-Apple Tort > > Homemade eggnog > > Recipes provided on request :-) > > Terry Pulliam Burd > > -- > "Most vigitaryans I iver see looked enough like their food to be > classed as cannybals." > > Finley Peter Dunne (1900) > > To reply, replace "spaminator" with "cox" |

Is "au jus sauce" a new fangled term for "gravy"?? Yorkshire puddings don't require all that much depth of fat, just generous 1/4 inch or so in the bottom of the tins. |
