• 139 travel was crusty

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Saturday, August 11, 2018 08:40:24
    I think my mom got the recipe from her Betty Crocker cook book (have to check when I get home; I've got the same one). It's close enough to some
    I had in Germany that it works. Much better than the canned Reid's GPS--their dressing is nowhere near the flavor of what I'm used to
    (being polite about it). (G)
    I'm not familiar with Reid's. Too sweet, is it?
    I think she's meaning Read's... at least that's the only common brand of canned salads I'm aware of...

    Probably. Canned food, potato salad, and most
    deplorable things in general are generally outside
    my field of expertise (and you thought I knew about
    food!).

    This was a recipe I was going to send to Ruth, but
    I found a nonalcoholic one that was almost (not
    quite) as relevant to the message of the moment.
    So you get it. It's likely that you and I would be
    the only echo members who would enjoy this anyhow.

    Lung and loin Bourguignonne
    categories: main, stews, pork, French, TV, celebrity
    servings: 4

    h - Wine sauce
    1/4 lb thick cut bacon, 1/4" strips
    4 Tb butter
    4 shallots, minced
    2 c red wine
    2 c veal stock
    1/4 c flour
    salt, pepper
    h - Lung and loin
    4 Tb olive oil
    1 lb veal or pork lungs
    1 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed, 1" pieces
    2 c Portobello mushrooms, trimmed, sliced 1/2"
    12 baby red onions, peeled and parboiled
    1 c baby carrots, parboiled

    Prepare the lung for cooking - trim of
    tracheal tubes and cut in 1" cubes. Soak
    in salted water overnight in the fridge.
    Squeeze out the water before cooking.

    In a large deep frying pan, heat butter over
    medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until
    lightly browned and fat has been released.
    Add shallots and saute until soft.

    Add flour and stir to make a roux. Cook until
    lightly browned.

    Stir in wine and stock, whisking to smooth
    out any lumps of roux and cook, stirring
    frequently, until thickened. Set aside.

    In a large saute pan, heat 2 ts olive oil.
    Season beef with salt and pepper, add to pan
    and saute to medium rare. Remove from pan.
    Wipe pan dry with paper towel and return to
    heat with 2 ts olive oil. Add lung and brown,
    stirring constantly until browned but not
    releasing too much liquid. Remove from pan.
    Wipe pan dry and return to heat. Add 2 ts
    olive oil and half of the mushrooms. Saute
    until mushrooms begin to release moisture.
    Remove from pan and repeat with remaining
    mushrooms.

    Return wine sauce to heat and bring to boil.
    Add pearl onions and carrots and simmer until
    tender. Add lungs, beef and mushrooms and
    simmer just until heated through but beef is
    still medium-rare.

    Serve with herbed rice or buttery mashed potatoes.

    I expect you to mostly know about the good stuff... ;)
