Dare to cook

Chapter 284 Thanksgiving Turkey

If you want to make a delicious roast turkey, the first step is naturally to prepare the marinade.

For a three-pound turkey, at least five hundred grams of butter is required.

Pour butter into a bowl, sprinkle with black pepper, sea salt, thyme, and washed and grated lemon zest.

After stirring evenly, a small opening should be made on the butt of the turkey, that is, above the chrysanthemum.

Well, this is a serious matter →_→.

The reason for the small cut is to separate the chicken from the skin.

The separation is not to peel off the chicken skin, but to open a certain space under the chicken skin so that the butter can be stuffed in without breaking the chicken skin.

In this way, the butter is evenly filled between the chicken and the chicken skin, and it is easy to penetrate during baking, making the inside of the chicken delicious and juicy.

After the butter is stuffed under the chicken skin, the chicken wings, that is, the two wings of the turkey, must be folded back in half and stuffed into the belly of the chicken.

The purpose of this is to fix the shape of the turkey.

With the turkey secured, it's time to prepare the side dishes.

First, a fresh lemon.Cut into four pieces and stuff them into the belly of the chicken.

Two scallions, very thick ones, cut off and stuffed into the chicken belly.

Celery, basil, sage, thyme, shallots, and small peeled potatoes are also stuffed into the chicken belly.

Then, close the belly of the chicken slightly.

The specific method of sealing is to cross the bones of chicken legs and tie them with cotton thread twice.

If you are still worried that the potatoes and onions will fall out of the chicken belly, you can also use some toothpicks to insert the cut parts under the chicken belly together.

Then, pour some olive oil on the roasting pan and give the turkey a full massage with your hands.

Shh, don't laugh!Don't think wrong!

Wait until the olive oil is evenly spread over the surface of the turkey before sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste.

In this way, the preparations for the turkey are done.

Next, around the turkey, put a circle of chopped fruits and vegetables, such as radishes, potatoes, apples, lemons, green onions, and whole garlic.

After placing the plate, you can put this plate of food into the oven and bake it at 200°C for five to ten minutes.

Roast chicken goes into the fire oven...

Nonsence!

wrong!

Once the turkey is in the oven, it's time to make the liver pate.

According to related reports, the tradition of eating Thanksgiving turkey with liver pate has a long history.

Although there are many media articles that swear by it, saying that eating turkey with liver pate will not only not be greasy, but also anti-aging.

But anyone with a little common sense in nutrition knows that it's all bullshit.

Turkey with liver pate will make the eater consume a lot of cholesterol and fat in a short period of time.

If you eat these regularly, it is easy to cause obesity.

When Yao Yu used to make turkey, he would never make liver pate as a side dish.

But today he and Matthew competed for traditional American western food.

Although Yao Yu disagrees with this way of eating, he can only make liver pate.

Fresh chicken liver, washed, sprinkled with sea salt and pepper, marinated for a while.

About 10 minutes after the turkey is roasting, you can temporarily open the oven and remove some roasted garlic, shallots and a lemon.

After taking out these things, pour oil into the hot pan, put the marinated chicken liver in and fry.

Then chop the garlic, shallots, and lemons and add them too.

Then add some basil and spices, and when the aroma in the pot comes out, stir quickly, add an appropriate amount of sweet wine and broth, cook for a while, and then turn off the heat.

After turning off the heat, pour fresh cream into the pot.

Finally, pour this pot of stuff into the cooking machine and make a paste.

In fact, many foie gras in French cuisine are also made in this way.

……

After making the liver pate, Yao Yu started making brownies.

Brownie, a western dessert, is a kind of heavy oil cake.Originating in North America in the nineteenth century, it is something between biscuits and cakes.

It has the sweetness of fudge, the softness of a cake, and some crunchiness of a cocoa cookie.

The recipe for this cake is not complicated.

Prepare dark chocolate, butter, flour, sugar, walnut kernels, almond powder, and eggs in proportion.

Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave to soften.

The walnuts are also lightly toasted.

Beat the eggs and add granulated sugar and stir well, then pour the eggs into the softened butter and chocolate.

Then add the flour, almond powder, and walnut kernels and mix well.

Then pour it into the mold to shape it, squeeze out the air bubbles, and bake at 175° for about half an hour.

So easy!

Making brownies is that easy.

As for how to decorate flowers after baking, how to cut into pieces and serve, how to embellish, it is all a matter of individual performance.

Yao Yu's opponent at this time is a cookbook hunter from the United States.

When making this dessert, he would naturally use 【Penetrate Like a Candle】, while referring to the opponent's operation, while improving his own method.

After putting the cake into the oven, Yao Yu set fire to the last dish - Hawaiian mushroom baked eggs.

The preparation of this dish is also very simple, as long as it can make a Hawaiian style.

Cut the ham slices into fine pieces.

Wash the sliced ​​mushrooms and fry them in hot oil.

The washed pineapple is also sliced ​​into small pieces.

then.

Beat the eggs.

Add all the above ingredients, add salt and pepper and stir.

Add the crushed macadamia nuts, cottage cheese, and some chopped macadamia nuts and lotus root, and continue to stir.

Stir ok, just pour these into a mold with a layer of olive oil, then spread a layer of butter on the surface, put it in the oven, and bake at 160°.

After finishing all this, Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the rest of the cooking to the oven.

"Hey, this competition is poisonous. All three dishes are cooked in the oven."

"That's right, I thought I could see Yao Manzi show off his knife skills again."

"Tsk, tsk, if I leave the oven, I'm afraid half of the dishes won't be cooked properly."

Shencheng.

In Lu Yuan's kitchen, a group of Lu Yuan chefs also gathered in front of the live broadcast screen to eat and discuss.

It was the break time in the afternoon, including Lu Chenyu and Lu Tao, they were all sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast.

Seeing that Yao Yu has completed all the cooking steps, Lu Tao, holding a teacup, nodded:
"This kid also has research on gourmet cuisine. With him and the World Youth Championship, you will definitely bring back the trophy next year."

Lu Chenyu was sitting on the side, drinking the sago milk he made, curled his lips and said, "Even without him, I can still win the World Youth Championship and the Alpheon Championship."

Lu Tao smiled slightly: "Have you told him? Ask him to go home after returning to Shencheng."

"Say it!" Lu Chenyu said coquettishly:
"Dad, can you stop mentioning this. I haven't had a word with him yet, please don't think of him as your son-in-law too early!"

Lu Tao laughed and joked:

"Okay, okay. Don't mention it if you don't mention it. As long as that kid can pass your mother's test, I won't get involved in your affairs."

"Dad, why are you still talking!" Lu Chenyu's face turned reddish.

It's already early summer outside, but Mu Shaoran's heart is experiencing severe winter.

On the side, when he heard the conversation between Lu's father and daughter, he couldn't help tightening his clothes, as if the melody of "Serious Snow" sounded in his head.
