Chapter 249: An Alternative Lunch
Near noon, Daxter, Lin Kai and others came back with large bags and small bags.
Ye Luo saw these many things, so he helped take the ingredients out of the bag and sort them.
I didn't expect to be really surprised by him.
Among the many pieces of meat that Daxter bought, there was a large piece of fat with pork skin.
If this thing is easy to buy in the market or supermarket in China, it is rarely seen in Newfoundland, and you can only say that you are lucky.
Most Newfoundlanders eat lean meat, or half-fat and half-lean meat, and rarely eat other parts of meat, let alone offal.
When Ye Luo saw this large piece of pork with skin, he immediately knew what to eat at noon, and the unused cauldron in the warehouse should also work.
As for why use a cauldron?
The main thing is that he has some taste of the stew in a big pot.
Feeling that the time was not early, Ye Luo began to process the ingredients.
I saw that the large pieces of fat were cut and rubbed in the dry boiling pot.
"Ye Luo, are you sure that using such a pot to cook will not poison people?" Looking at the black oil flowing down the wall of the pot, Lin Kai asked in surprise.
He knew that Ye Luo couldn't be idle and mess around with fat to brush the pot, and he also knew that he might be doing it for cooking, but seeing this pot dirty like this, he couldn't help but wonder if Ye Luo was going to make the legendary dark cuisine.
"Don't worry, this is the traditional way to boil. The pot treated in this way not only removes harmful substances from the surface, but also makes the pot less susceptible to rust. ”
Ye Luo glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Don't look at the pot is very dirty at this time, it will become very clean when you wash it with water, you can't eat people with such a pot for cooking." ”
Although Ye Luo was talking, he still did the work in his hands very carefully, wiping one piece after another of the fat until the grease in the pot became clear, and the pot was finished.
Then he took the cauldron and poured out the pork, then washed it with water, put it back on the stove, and then went back to the house, took out the big bones that Scarlett had washed, and boiled them in the pot with water, so as to keep the remaining blood out of the bones.
After a while, he first fished out the bones, then poured out the water from the pot, and then refilled the pot with water, and poured all the bones into the pot.
Only then did he pick up a knife and cut the ginger into large slices, slapped the garlic with a knife, peeled it and threw it into the pot, green onions, cut into large sections, and then various seasonings, peppercorns, spices, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., and finally covered the pot.
Big pot stew, you have to use the seasoning more boldly, if you make it like a small pot, the aroma of this meat can't be forced.
As the water in the pot tumbled, the aroma wafted out along the cracks in the wooden board.
"Hey, Daddy, can you eat it now?" said Alice, smelling the scent, running from the house to the stove, with an impatient expression on her face.
"I'll have to wait, I'll have to stew the meat before it tastes good. Ye Luo casually touched his pants with his right hand, and then pinched his daughter's little nose.
Hearing Ye Luo's words, Aili hurriedly moved a small stool and sat on it obediently, without disturbing Ye Luo.
The aroma in the pot was drifting farther and farther, and Lin Kai, who was lazy to go back to the house, also appeared, and even a few guys from Dast who went back quietly appeared in the yard.
What's funny is that these guys actually took a stool and sat next to Alice, just looking at the cauldron in front of Ye Luo, smelling the tempting fragrance wafting around, and swallowing saliva from time to time.
After Scarlett, who was busy recruiting people in the room, smelled the fragrance, she couldn't help but put down the work at hand and came out of the house.
Just walked under the porch and took a breath of fresh emptiness
Scarlett, who was angry, saw her daughter sitting there, and Dast and several people were gathered around the side.
This scene made her feel a faint sense of satisfaction in her heart.
She remembered that she was always busy with work in the past, and rarely had time to play with her daughter like Ye Luo and Daxter, because the place where she lived was not safe, so she could only let her play with other children in the square by herself.
Who knew that the girl didn't play with those children, but stayed in the corner by herself and waited for her to get off work.
From time to time, she always asks herself, if she hadn't met Ye Luo at the beginning, what would she be like now?
Scarlett occasionally compares the conditions of her previous life with the present, and the result is not suspenseful.
There is no comparison at all, neither in terms of conditions nor circumstances.
However, what makes her happiest is that since living on the island, her daughter has had a lot of fun every day, although there is still no one to play with her, but Ye Luo, the father, will always accompany her whenever he has time.
Especially after Dust and their family came to live on the island, several of their children also made Alice have a lot of children of the same age at once, although Daxter and their children are two or three years older than Alice, but having children to play with makes the little one's life colorful all of a sudden.
In addition to children of the same age, there are two little golden retrievers, two little beluga whales, and a frigate bird and Alice are friends.
To be honest, she is very content with this life.
"Mom, come here, Dad is cooking meat, it's delicious. Alice casually turned her head, saw Scarlett, and beckoned to her.
Lin Kai made room for Scarlett to sit and talk together.
Ye Luo wanted to get involved, but he could only think about it, who let him cook?
If they stopped, what would they eat at noon?
Looking at the mother and daughter who were talking, laughing and chatting with Daxter, Ye Luo didn't get involved, but just lifted the lid of the pot and gently pricked it on the big bone with chopsticks.
It's very good, I plunged straight in, and it saved a lot of time than I expected.
Stewed meat with big bones does not mean that the worse the stew, the better, although that kind of meat is easy to eat, but the taste is much worse than now.
And the doneness that is rotten but not minced is the most suitable, this kind of doneness is not only rotten to eat, but also chewy, just right.
Put these big bones into the basin on the side with a big iron spoon, and when the first one came out, the two golden retrievers couldn't help it, and ran directly to his legs and began to hug his thighs.
"Wait a minute, you'll have your share. It's so hot now, your paws can't stand it. Ye Luo looked at the two golden retrievers who were so hungry and said funny.
In fact, it was not only the two golden retrievers, but even his precious girl came to his side, looking at the bones in the basin with blank eyes.
And Lin Kai and Daxter may have felt embarrassed and didn't step forward, but from those unblinking eyes, it was easy to see that they were also in turmoil.
Ye Luo gently tore off a small piece of meat on a big bone, and then blew it, and sent it into the girl's little mouth, giving the little guy a good fragrance, even if it was a little hot, people ate it beautifully.
Seeing that Alice had started eating, the two golden retrievers were even more anxious.
There's no way, Ye Luo has to give each of them a large piece of meat, otherwise they will keep messing with you.
As an authentic foodie, Ye Luo naturally won't waste such a big pot of soup, you know, the nutrition of stewed bones is all in the soup.
Then, Ye Luo fished out all the seasonings in the soup, beat a few more eggs on the side, and a large pot of egg soup was reconciled. Serve in a basin
Sprinkled some coriander, Ye Luo tasted it, it was delicious, and the soup had to be bone broth to taste.
After doing this, Ye Luo greeted Lin Kai and the others, who were waiting impatiently: "Okay, everyone is ready to eat." ”
A pot of bones, a pot of soup, how to eat this?
Looking different from the previous lunch, Scarlett, who was sitting at the table, was a little puzzled, did she have to hold on to the bones and gnaw on them?
When Scarlett is like this, Lin Kai and Daxter and others also look at each other, not knowing how to start.
Looking at the few people who were a little dazed, Ye Luo put on plastic gloves and tore all the meat on the bones onto the plate. The technique is similar to the principle of shredded chicken, and the meat will taste more delicious when torn apart.
The seasoning has also been prepared a long time ago, it is ordinary garlic sauce, which is pounded out when stewing bones, which seems simple, and he has put a lot of effort into it.
If you pick it with chopsticks, you can probably bring out the garlic juice inside.
The little guy on the side was already waiting impatiently, his mouth was wide open, and Ye Luo understood in seconds, so he immediately picked up a piece of meat and dipped it in a little garlic sauce, and then sent it to the little guy's mouth.
The temperature was just right, and the little guy was chewing it in a big bite.
The aroma of meat mixed with garlic, from the little guy's squinted eyes, as well as the kicking calves, you know that the taste is not bad.
But the delicious food that Ye Luo prepared for her daughter today is not only this meat and soup, but also more delicious.
Seeing that Dast and the others began to do it in their own way, Ye Luo picked up the kitchen knife again.
Holding a large stick bone in his left hand, he slammed it hard with the back of his knife with his right hand. With a 'click', the bone rod snapped, revealing the bone marrow oil inside.
Then gently picked it with chopsticks, and the long bone marrow oil fell onto Alice's small plate.
Alice looked at such an oily bone marrow oil and frowned, she had never eaten such a thing, and she had a very greasy feeling when she looked at it, which made her a little resistant.
Ye Luo shook his head helplessly and smiled, sandwiched the bone marrow oil on his daughter's plate into two pieces, and then rolled it in the plate with garlic sauce and put it in front of his daughter.
The little guy hesitated a little, and sniffed closely, but he didn't smell any fragrance, but out of trust in his father, he still stuffed this small piece of bone marrow oil into his mouth.
"Wow, it's slippery, it's not oily at all, it's delicious. As soon as the little one took a bite, he couldn't wait to give out the praise, and his eyes were fixed on the remaining half.
However, this time there was no need for Ye Luo's help, the little guy did it directly, and after dipping it in a little garlic juice, he gently sucked it, and the remaining half of the bone marrow oil was directly sucked into his mouth.
What else is there to say?
Lady satisfaction is the only priority at the moment!
Ye Luo didn't say a word, and carried a kitchen knife to smash all the rest of the stick bones and get out the bone marrow oil inside.
However, even if you think about your daughter, you can't give her all these to eat, in that case, it's easy to eat it, and you will feel disgusted when you see this in the future.
In the end, Ye Luo only gave a little bit to the little guy, and the rest was allocated to Dast and Lin Kai. After thinking about it for a while, I dialed Scarlett some more. By the time he got there, there was only a little bit left in the basin that had been disconnected.
Scarlett hesitated slightly, but still tasted one, her eyes suddenly lit up, the taste was indeed very good, and the rest of the few were eaten after a while.
Although the bone marrow is delicious, the amount is a little small.
The egg soup made of bone-to-bone meat with bone broth can be described in five words, and the meaty soup is thicker!
Although there are no staple foods, these 'alternative lunches' are enough for everyone to choke......
