Duo of slow-cooked pork


Duo of slow-cooked pork
Two pork ingredients, smoked sausage and a shoulder joint here, are left to cook slowly on a bed of vegetables and herbs, moistened with a vegetable or poultry stock.

This is one of those crafty dishes that can be reheated over and over, getting better each time.

Add 2 cloves garlic, 2 bayleaves, 5 leaves sage and pour 1 litre 500 ml vegetable stock over. The level of the stock should cover all the vegetables.

Put on the lid and cook in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for at least 4 hours.

Stage 9

After this time the meat should be "confite" (can be shredded with a fork) and the vegetables deliciously flavoured with a melting texture.

Serve directly on the table so that everyone can help themselves.
Remarks
The 4 hours cooking time is only a guide. Feel free to make it longer if you like, but then reduce the temperature to 270°F (130°C).

If you don't have vegetable stock, a chicken stock cube will work just fine.
And to drink?
A full-bodied red wine, from the Languedoc, for example.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge.
Source: Home made.

Passion fruit jellies
Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .

Macarons (the original French macaroons)
This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...

Bouquet garni
Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
