Episode 36 | Date night dinner to keep her wet for more. #beef #cooking #foodie #yummy Braised beef shoulder (chuck) in a rich red wine sauce. Served here with potato puree with a touch of manchego cheese, sauteed asparagus, parsley oil and a glass of merlot. We also have a simple strawberry tart with raspberry jam, vanilla white chocolate cream, fresh strawberries, and raspberries, served with vanilla white chocolate ice cream and a glass of Moscato. Before you begin: 1. Easy to make, requires preparation and patience. 2. Everything can be made in advance and served on the spot. 3. Braise needs at least in the oven for 4 hours, so it's incredibly tender. 4. The recipe also serves a tart, which is optional. How many portions? It makes four portions, and the tart makes two backups (for plating practice and in case one of the tart shells cracks). Who should I serve this to? Your girl's future parents-in-law. Make this a slam dunk, son. Need Guidance? Here to help, send me your questions ideally three days before, not 30 minutes before plating. Potato purée - 450g mashing potatoes - 120g unsalted butter - 100g double cream - 50g milk - 125g manchego cheese (optional) 1. Peel and quarter the potatoes, making sure the pieces are all roughly the same size for even cooking. 2. In a medium pot, add cold water and season well the water with salt. Bring to a boil, then boil to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft. 3. Drain and leave to dry for a few minutes to let the steam off. Whilst still hot, push the potatoes through a fine sieve. 4. Heat cream and milk in a pan over medium heat, then fold the cream mixture into the mash. Add your butter and finely grated machengo cheese. Stir quickly to form a smooth purée, and return to the heat if needed. 5. Be careful not to overheat to avoid splitting the puree. Season with salt and serve immediately. How do I make her come? a) Respect consent b) Slow and steady wins the race c) Eat with pleasure d) Practice makes perfect
