Chapter 1698 First Experience of Mutton Soup
"Although the mutton kebabs I ate on the grassland are delicious, I think I prefer the ones grilled by the boss. Sure enough... am I already a person with a strong taste?" Mia licked her lips, a little embarrassed.
"In contrast, I think the way of eating on the prairie seems to be more suitable for me." Elizabeth took a bite of mutton and said with a smile. Her taste is probably the lightest among all.
"But Uncle McGonagall is amazing. I just learned from some grandpa who baked it once, and he even created a new way to bake it." Anna looked at Mag with some admiration, and felt that she was stupid. Haven't learned the kebab yet.
"Anna is still young. When you grow up and can easily operate various kitchen utensils, you will learn things quickly." Mag looked at Anna with a smile and said, she is a diligent little guy, and she is good at learning things. Fast, because I am too young, even the grill has to be padded with a small bench to get it, not to mention how difficult it is for a pair of small hands to grab many bamboo sticks.
"I have officially decided that starting today, I will give half of the love of beef kebabs to mutton skewers." Barbara solemnly announced, and then took a bite of the mutton, chewing with a look of indulgence.
"The feedback looks good." Mag looked at the girls who were happily eating mutton skewers, and took a bite of a string of mutton skewers himself.
Compared with Edie, the mastery of the heat is much worse. After all, it is the first time to roast mutton. According to the experience of grilling beef kebabs, it is still a bit worse. The surface is too hard and the moisture is too dry.
However, this fresh and sweet mutton conceals the flaws in the technique, and the cumin powder and chili powder are even more cheating artifacts. People's tastes are attracted by the spices, so they don't care too much about the heat.
"Sure enough, a handful of coarse salt is the most advanced method." McGonagall thought about it, and realized more and more the advanced memorization skills hidden under Eddie's simple barbecue skills.
He has already harvested the recipe for kebabs, and it seems that he has to go to the God of Cooking Proving Ground to hone his grilling skills tonight.
However, as a lover of heavy flavors, for him, cumin powder and chili noodles are really soul-like existences, and the original sweetness can no longer satisfy his experienced tongue.
For this mutton skewer, he can only score four points in his heart, which is still far from passing, and there is a huge gap from perfection.
"Mia, pour me a glass of beer." Mag put the beef skewers on the grill, looked at Mia and said, how can there be no beer when eating barbecue.
"Okay." Mia got up, looked at everyone and smiled, "What do you want to drink?"
"I also want beer, the kind with ice." Irina nodded slightly.
"I want beer...juice." Barbara met Mag's gaze, and corrected the juice obediently. She snorted softly and said somewhat dissatisfied: "In half a month, I'll be an adult!"
"That will have to wait for half a month." Mag said calmly, underage drinking is not allowed, this is a red line set by the dots.
The fireworks of the barbecue and the laughter of the crowd made the restaurant extra warm.
Elizabeth took a sip of the red wine, looked at everyone with smiles on their faces, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
It was amazing, she never thought that after her mother passed away, there was still a place in the world where she could let go of all guards and sit and laugh with others with an open heart.
She found her sister, and she found a group of... friends.
What a luxury word was once for her,
Now they are people who are by my side.
No one here cares who is sitting on that ice crystal throne, and that's not even as important as what you're going to eat tomorrow morning.
After eating several rounds of barbecue, all the meat skewers prepared on the side have fallen into the stomachs of everyone, and there is also a large beer barrel next to it that is empty.
The half-roasted whole lamb was directly given up by Mag because the taste was not authentic enough. It really wasn't something that could be learned just by looking at it.
Gina performed the murloc dance for everyone. Compared with her sweet voice, the somewhat stiff dancing posture was clumsy and cute, which made the atmosphere more lively.
Everyone sang and danced, but they discovered a lot of hidden skills, which surprised everyone.
"Okay, I've finished all the barbecue today." Mag put down the beer glass in his hand, looked at the crowd and smiled, "However, the highlight is still to come. Let everyone try the one that will be officially launched tomorrow. New item: mutton soup."
"New product?" Everyone looked at Mag in surprise when they heard the words. They heard that Mag was making mutton soup just now, but their attention was all on the kebabs, and they didn't care about the soup at all. Come on, this mutton soup is what McGonagall values most.
"Mia, come and help me." Mag turned around and walked towards the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, a strong smell of mutton came to his nostrils.
Maybe it's because he just ate all kinds of spicy barbecue, but the aroma of the water vapor blowing over his face is even more sober and pleasant.
"It smells so good, is this the smell of mutton soup?" Mia followed into the door, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the cauldron on the stove with some surprise.
"Set thirteen soup bowls, I'll adjust the dipping dishes first." Mag and Mia said, and took a bunch of small dishes by themselves.
Of course, the mutton soup should be served with a dry plate. Dried chilies, soybeans, peanuts, star anise, bay leaves and other spices are sautéed with salt in a pot, sieved to remove the salt, then smashed with a kitchen knife, and then add the fried slightly yellow cooked Stir sesame seeds and a spoonful of salt just used for sautéing until fragrant, and a perfect Sichuan-style dry dipping dish is ready.
Mia had already set the soup bowl aside, Mag turned off the fire of the soup pot and lifted the lid of the soup pot.
The heat rose suddenly, turning the kitchen into a fairyland.
If a pot of mutton soup is to be successful, it has to be simmered slowly all night.
Mag didn't have enough time, so he used the pressure cooker to steal some time.
The milky white thick soup is full of meaty fragrance, just by smelling it, you can feel the strong fresh fragrance, without any smell of fishy or mutton.
"It looks pretty good." A smile appeared on the corner of Mag's mouth, and he cut the cooked mutton into thin slices with a kitchen knife, put it in the boiling water pot on the side for a while, and then poured it into In the soup bowl, pour hot snow-white mutton soup, sprinkle with a handful of green coriander, and a bowl of steaming, fragrant mutton soup is ready
The tender green coriander is dotted in the milky white soup, and the mutton occupies a small half of the bowl, which looks delicious in color and fragrance.
"Okay, let's take it out." Mag took two trays filled with eight bowls of mutton soup and carried them out of the kitchen, while Mia served the rest.
The people who were sitting and waiting were already looking forward to it. Their eyes lit up when they saw Mag and Mia come out with steaming mutton soup and put it in front of everyone.
The milky white mutton soup looks very rich, and the aroma of meat and coriander is mixed together. With the heat, it makes the mouths of everyone who just ate barbecue and drank wine salivate.
