Chapter 144: Roast Leg of Lamb
The next morning's game was uneventful, and in the afternoon, Murphy simply took leave and did not go to the arena, intending to stay in the store to tinker with the [roast leg of lamb]. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He had just taken out the pickled leg of lamb from the cupboard, when there was a knock on the door outside, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was He Xuanxuan, who was leaning on the door frame, looking at him with a smile.
Mo Fei was a little surprised and asked, "Your brother won't go to the scene to cheer for him in the afternoon finals?"
He Xuanxuan said disapprerovingly: "It's definitely no problem for him to enter the finals, so I won't make trouble." ”
"Are you your own sister?
"Hmph, if you don't even have this ability, why do you come to participate in the food competition?" He Xuanxuan asked Mo Fei rhetorically: "Why don't you go?"
Murphy spread his hands and said, "I'm cooking, and I'm going to consolidate my cooking skills before the competition." ”
"Oh, do you mind if I do an interim review?" He Xuanxuan said with a smile tilting his head.
"Come in. ”
He Xuanxuan followed Mo Fei into the kitchen, and saw a leg of mutton on the table, "Yo, I have a good mouth today, it's still a big dish! What are you going to do?"
"Roast leg of lamb!"
"Good, good...... I like this!" He Xuanxuan clapped his little hands and said, "Do you need to do it?"
"No, just sit down and wait. Mo Fei lifted a small stool and asked He Xuanxuan to sit down.
The leg of lamb is processed after getting up in the morning, boiled with boiling water with various condiments, and then smeared with salt, cumin powder, cumin grains, rosemary, sealed and marinated with plastic wrap.
Mo Fei took out the baking tray, laid out the tin foil, spread the mushroom slices and onions, put the marinated leg of lamb on top, brush with a layer of mixed honey water, sprinkle a pinch of well salt and a few cumin grains, and put it in the preheated oven to bake.
After 15 minutes, Murphy turned on the oven and moved the leg of lamb from the lower to the middle level, setting it for another 15 minutes.
After finishing his work, Mo Fei also moved a stool and sat down, and said to He Xuanxuan, "Don't worry, you can eat it after a while." ”
He Xuanxuan nodded and smiled, "It's so fragrant, I guess this leg of lamb is from the prairie, right? ”
This is a free-range grassland yellow sheep, one year old, grew up eating shallots, the meat is fresh and tender, it is the best time to eat. ”
He Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and then he said regretfully: "You actually got the grassland yellow sheep, oops, you are a bit tyrannical in doing this!"
"Oh, what's the best way to eat prairie sheep?" asked Murphy.
"Sister, let's teach you a lesson!" He Xuanxuan stood up,
"The grassland yellow mutton is fresh and tender, there are various ways to eat, the best thing is of course to put it in a big pot and boil it in white water, pull a handful of shallots and put it in, no longer need any condiments, about an hour out of the pot, dipped in well salt and wild leek flower sauce to eat the best!"
She licked her lips, and then said: "Secondly, you can slice the mutton shabu, don't cut too thin slices, about half a centimeter thick, shabu for a minute out of the pot, dipped in sesame sauce and leeks to eat, tender, juicy and delicious......"
"Of course, it is also a must to use yellow mutton to make scallion fried mutton, stir-fry it with Zhangqiu green onion and green onion, it can be out of the pot in a few minutes, the green onion is sweet and delicious, and it is ...... best."
"As for the barbecue with yellow mutton, the charcoal fire conceals the deliciousness of the mutton, and only relies on salty and spicy condiments to enhance the taste, which is relatively inferior. That's why I said you spoiled such a good leg of mutton. ”
"In addition, if you want to say that roasted mutton, the sheep meat in the Hetao area is the best, the fat is moderate, and the red willow branches on the bank of the Yellow River are used to string large pieces of mutton, without oil, and the roasted outside is charred and tender on the inside, and the fragrance is invincible......"
After listening to this, Mo Fei secretly admired in his heart, he deserved to be a sixth-level professional chef, and with any ingredient, he could tell the best way to eat. "However, before I eat my roast leg of lamb, I will leave you with a suspense. ”
"Ding!"
It's baking time.
Mo Fei got up and didn't turn on the oven, but took out a small stone mortar, grabbed a handful of washed lilac wild leek flowers from the small wooden basin covered, and pounded it directly.
He Xuanxuan was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Mo Fei, where did you get this?" Now that the grassland is full of snow, how can there be wild leek flowers?"
Murphy said, "Do you think it's only on the prairie? This is my unique source channel, and I won't tell you." ”
While pounding the leek flowers, he added a small amount of warm water and a pinch of well salt to them, and soon pounded them into leek flower sauce and poured them into a small dish for later use.
The leek flowers have a spicy taste, but they have a unique aroma that makes them best served with lamb.
He Xuanxuan hurriedly walked over, picked up a small saucer and smelled it, it was really a grassland wild leek flower, and it was also a high-grade wild leek flower, with a faint sweetness in the aroma and spicy, and it was the taste of nectar.
After another 5 minutes, Mo Fei turned on the oven, and a hot air rushed to his face, and the hot air carried the fragrance of mutton, and then rolled in, He Xuanxuan, who was not hungry, began to scream in his stomach, and saliva gushed out of his mouth irrepressibly.
This aroma is both strong and seductive.
The strong place reminds people of the style of the heroes of the green forest, drinking a large sip of spirits, and then nibbling on a large mouthful of mutton, before it is refreshing.
At the place of hooking the soul, people scratch their hearts and livers, finely chop the large pieces of mutton and put them on the plate, taste them carefully, taste them slowly, and drink a glass of sake until dawn.
Out of the pot!
With a little doubt and expectation, He Xuanxuan stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe to look at the baking tray.
Mo Fei placed the baking tray on the stove table, took out a large white porcelain plate, spread two lettuce leaves on top, and sandwiched the roast leg of lamb into the porcelain plate. Slice a few more slices of shiitake mushrooms and onions from the baking tray and place them next to the leg of lamb.
"Let's go outside and taste it. ”
Mo Fei picked up the porcelain plate and put it on the crystal table outside, only to see that the roast leg of lamb was dark red in color, the skin was slightly burnt, and the fragrance was much lighter than just now.
He Xuanxuan also sat down and frowned slightly: "Mo Fei, why is the taste a little light? Is it too long to bake?"
Mo Fei didn't answer her, split the leek flower sauce in the small plate in two, handed it to He Xuanxuan, and then took out a quick knife from the kitchen.
In He Xuanxuan's puzzled eyes, he picked up the knife and gently slashed it on the roast leg of lamb.
"Poof......
There was actually a hot breath coming out of it, He Xuanxuan's eyes widened, and he looked at the roast leg of lamb incredulously, and found that Mo Fei had cut a layer of sheepskin.
"Sheepskin!?"
He Xuanxuan asked puzzledly, "Mo Fei, baked with skin, is there anything special about this?"
Murphy smiled, "Of course!"
"The sheepskin can lock in the moisture in the mutton, making the mutton tender and juicy when roasted, and the sheepskin itself tastes delicious, after roasting, it is particularly crispy and delicious, and the flavor is more unique when eaten with the mutton......
"However, the mutton is wrapped in sheepskin, and it is difficult to taste it!" He Xuanxuan questioned.
"So I cooked it ahead of time and marinated it for almost ten hours, and it tasted just right. ”
He cut off a piece of meat with skin, sandwiched two slices of shiitake mushrooms, and put them on He Xuanxuan's plate, "It's the first time I've done it, and I ask the chef to criticize and correct it more." ”
He Xuanxuan smiled and picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in wild leek flower sauce, and swallowed it in one gulp.
