2 Sprigs of fresh Thyme
240ml Beef Stock
Parsley to garnish
A knob of Butter
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Shallots.
(2) Add the Garlic.
(3) Add the Wine, Balsamic Vinegar, Rosemary and Thyme and simmer to reduce for about 20 minutes.
(4) Add the Beef Stock allow to simmer for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
(5) Turn off the heat and whisk in the Butter.
(6) Season with Salt & Pepper to taste.

We had a rare Steak each, hand cut Chips, Peas and DIY Onion Rings. The sauce was really good and next time we’re treating ourselves we’ll be revisiting this.

We had a wander up to the Continental Shop a few days ago. We’d had the idea of Stuffed Jalapeños floating about for a while. When we spotted these monsters it had to be done. Hot – hot – hot!

Cream Cheese with Garlic & Herbs
Grated Mozzarella
Flour (Gluten free in our case)

Oregano
Chilli Flakes
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Blanch the Jalapeños, slit and de-seed. Set aside.
(2) Mix an Egg wash with Eggs and Milk and set aside.
(3) Combine the Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, Oregano, Chilli Flake, Salt and pepper – To make the stuffing.
(4) Stuffed the Jalapeños.
(5) Dunk each one in the Egg wash, then dredge in flour.
(6) Dunk again in Egg wash and then roll in the Breadcrumbs.
(7) Shallow fry turning occasionally until the coating is crispy.

We served ours on a bed of salad with Potato wedges and a home made Marie Rose sauce.
