French Stew - Recipe Of The Day

Onions on a neutral, mostly white background (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Take a pound of beef cut in small pieces and fry it until brown. Remove
and fry in the same pan the following vegetables: Three small radishes,
three small carrots, three small onions, half a dozen potatoes, a little
green ginger, a green chili or two, and three or four mint leaves. The
ginger, chili, and mint leaves should be finely minced, but slice the
other vegetables. When the vegetables are nicely browned, remove, make a
little gravy in the pan; pour this gravy over the meat, add the
vegetables, and cook very slowly together until the meat is tender. If
liked, it may be made with only potatoes and onions and meat.

Make something incredible tonight.

DRUM STICKS WITH HERB SAUCE - Recipe of the day

For about 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Then turn over, brush on more sauce, and bake for another half hour or so until done. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

When serving this recipe, take a tip from Bev Cox, a woman
who

 not only is responsible for many of my favorite Perdue
recipes over the years, but who is also famous for being
one of the best food stylists around. She likes to have the
garnishes mirror the seasonings, so if she had, for
example, this chicken recipe with basil in it, she'd be apt
to garnish it with fresh basil. She also believes that
garnishes should be edible. These chicken drumsticks with
new potatoes and green beans would be a simple dinner, but
sprinkle the new potatoes with chopped chives, stick a red
pepper ring around the green beans and you have something
that looks special as well as tastes special.
5 roaster drumsticks
salt and ground pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce:
1/4 cup minced fresh basil, or 1 tablespoon dried
1/4 cup minced, fresh parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon capers
1/4 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 375oF. Place drumsticks in a baking pan
and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl combine
garlic and olive oil and baste drumsticks generously. Bake
drumsticks for 60 to 75 minutes until tender and cooked
through, turning and basting once. Meanwhile, in a bowl
make sauce by whisking together remaining ingredients.
Serve drumsticks, passing sauce separately.

BELGIAN SOUP Recipe

English: Potatoes lyonnaise (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 Belgain Soup; is called _crême de sauté_. Itself one of the most wholesome of vegetables, watercress combines admirably with potatoes in making soup.  Wash, dry, and chop finely four ounces of the leaves picked from the stalks, fry slowly for five minutes with or without a thinly-sliced
onion, add one pound of potatoes cut in small dice, and fry, still very
slowly, without browning; pour in one quart of water or thin stock,
simmer gently, closely-covered, for from thirty-five to fifty minutes,
rub through a hair sieve, and having returned the puree to the saucepan
with a half-teaspoonful of castor sugar, and salt and cayenne to taste,
thicken with one table-spoonful of flour stirred smoothly into one
breakfast-cupful of cold milk; boil up sharply, and serve sprinkled with
watercress.
