Beans Runner

Agape Goon — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:00:04 +0000

These beans are very productive and provide a useful crop for the freezer. It is important they should not be shredded finely for freezing, or the cooked result will be pulpy and tasteless. Only tender young beans without strings should be frozen. Best varieties for freezing : Carter’s Streamline; Carter;s White Monarch

Growing Runner beans will grow in most soils, but need liberal watering as dry soil will cause them to drop their flowers and the pods will not set. The beans should be staked, and it is advisable to put in stakes before sowing as the roots of the beans are very brittle. Liberal watering is essential during growth, and mulching with well rotted manure is helpful. Tops should be taken off plants when they have climbed the stakes to make the plants more productive; also large pods should be removed every day or the plants will cease bearing.

Freezing Cut beans in pieces, not shreds. Blanch for 2 minutes, cool and pack in polythene bags. To cook, put in boiling water for 7 minutes. Storage time : 1 year.

Roasting Pork Get Crakling

Agape Goon — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:00:32 +0000

Roast Pork with crisp brown crackling is a rich and succulent dish. It can also be roasted without the rind, in the French manner. Either way it is delicious properly cooked and with the right accompaniments. This course show how to roast and carve pork and what to serve with it.

Pork is a relatively inexpensive meat, and can be roasted both on and off the bone. The meat is fat so one of its great virtues is that most of the main cuts can be roasted. Unlike lamb and beef, it is also practical to raost smaller weights of meat, because the outer layer of fat keeps it moist and shrinkage is kept to a minimum.

Pale meat, such as pork or veal, must be well cooked, never rare. Rare pork does not look attractive or taste very good abd it can also be dangerous to your health.

Pork is very nutritious, but invalids, young children and elderly people sometimes fine it is a little difficult to digest. Because it is rich in flavour it goes well with sharp refreshing accompaniments such as apples or cranberries.

Agape Goon — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:30:05 +0000

Cantonese Cooking

Agape Goon — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:30:03 +0000

Cantonese cooking also specializes in soups, especially turtle soup,steamed,roasted and grilled(broiled) pork and poultry dishes; “double pan” and large earthenware casserole type cooking. A great deal of clear chicken broth is used as a stock or base of light gravies and is preferred to the sugar used by other schools to achieve “sweetness”. And, of course, in keeping with the Taoist principle, underdone is well done, literally,in Canton! This is particularly true of their low oil, quick, stir fried “chow” dishes, a technique which originated in Yang Chow; hence the name.

Cooked Meat Dishes

Agape Goon — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 15:00:12 +0000

Time can be saved by preparing meat dishes to be frozen, which can be eaten cold or reheated for serving. Pre-cooked joints, steaks and chops are not succesfully frozen, since the outer surface sometimes develops an off-flavour, and reheating will dry out the meat. Cold meat can be frozen in slices with or without sauce. Fried meats tent to toughnes, dryness and rancidity when frozen. Any combination dishes of meat and vegetables should include the vegetables when they are slightly undercooked to avoid softness on reheating, In addition to casseroles and stews, good cooked dishes for freezing include cottage pie, galatines and meat loaves, meat balls, meat sauces, and meat pies. It is very important that all cooked meats should be cooled quickly before freezing.

Tips:Keeping Beans,Broad

Agape Goon — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:30:51 +0000

Broad beans for freezing should be small and young, with tender outer skins, and it is best to plant a variety recommended for good flavour. Best varieties for freezing: Carter’s Green Leviathan; Green Longpod.

Growing Broad beans do best in rich ground. In mild areas, the seed can be planted in the early winter on a dry day when the ground is well broken up; some protecting during cold spells is advisable. Broad beans need good hoeing during growing, and careful attention should be paid to black fly. As soon as the first flowers set, the tops should be prinched out to ensure an early crop; nipping off side shoots will strenghten the plants. Freezing Remove broad beans from shells, blanch 1 1/2 minutes and pack in cartons or polythene bags. To Cook put in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. Strorage time: 1 year.
