So I’ve
been out of the game for a couple of weeks, with year- end fast approaching
life has been a bit crazy, resulting in me not having much time to blog (I
apologise). HOWEVER, very recently I managed to get my hands on a very special
recipe book which has just been released by the well known South African –
Portuguese chef, Mimi Jardim.
I thought
I’d share one of the favourites in our household of late, so much so that I
tend to get into trouble if I make it on an evening when my boyfriend isn’t
around. It’s a really simple recipe but boy does it taste good... here is Mimi
Jardim’s take on the traditional meal of Trinchado.
Ingredients:
500g Rump
Steak
25ml Olive
Oil
20g Butter
2 Cloves
garlic, Chopped
2 Medium
onions, chopped
1 Bay leaf
125ml White
/ Red wine
15ml Tomato
puree
125ml beef
stock
Salt and
pepper
Method:
1. Cut the rump into very small cubes.
Fry the garlic and onion in olive oil and butter.
2. Add the meat and brown all over (DO
NOT STIR)
3. Add the bay leaf, wine tomato puree
and stock.
4. Season to taste with salt and
pepper, simmer for about 20 minutes and serve with lots of Portuguese bread,
chips or baby potatoes.
TIP: Do not
stir the meat before it has browned, it will result in the extraction of juices
and tough meat.
Serves 2- 4
Are you
seeing how simple this recipe is? Simple and yet, SO delicious! It’s a meal I
enjoying sharing with my loved ones around the table... Try it out; I’m sure
you’ll be getting requests for it at least once a week ;-) #You’reWelcome
Mimi’s new
recipe book is filled to the brim with traditional Portuguese cooking (with a
touch of different cultured food too), it’s beautifully illustrated and so
inviting that I bet you’ll be a pro in the kitchen in no time.
Bom
Appetite
