[@clairedixon4333]

I’d like to find out how Barry did his cauliflower cheese side dish

[@seanthebluesheep]

Probably a pretty classic bechamel with grated cheddar stirred through to melt. A tbsp butter, tbsp flour, 250-300ml milk, 50-100g cheese. Melt the butter, then when it starts to foam add the flour, stir vigorously and cook for two minutes then gradually add the milk a splash at a time, keeping it a little below boiling and stirring so the bottom doesn't catch, until you get a sort of gloopy but smooth texture. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, additionally nutmeg if you like, then add the cheese. Healthy handful of peas and a handful of kale into boiling water for two minutes, dropped into a decently powerful blender for ten to twenty seconds.

[@clairedixon4333]

Sean Rea thank you it was the peas and kale o didn’t really know how they’d done it do they then add to the bechamel x

[@adamwatson9112]

It's not a super difficult dish to make, but it is harder than most people think, especially when most home recipes for coq au vin are nothing like the real thing. In the traditional professionally taught version, it's a lot of extra steps and ingredients that the average home cook wouldn't do, so the debatably "hard" part of it all, is time management; knowing when to cook/prepare things, so that it all comes together in the end.

I “cook the soil out” of leeks - so Barry’s not wrong there. Life is too short to wash and separate the layers of more than one leek IMO.

[@SortedFood]

Love this.

[@chandrawong449]

According to America's Test Kitchen, the best way (unless you're braising halved leaks) is to chop all the leaks, then wash. They separate as they are washed and the grit falls to the bottom of the bowl. Then LIFT the leaks out of the water to a towel. If you dump the leaks into a colander then you're pouring the grit/sand/ dirt back over the cleaned leaks.

[@LunaVespertine]

I did this the other day and got a mouthful of sand 🙃

[@LunaVespertine]

Chandra Wong But yes usually I do it like this

[@PoppyCorn144]

@Chandra that sounds too labour intensive and I’m inherently lazy so I rinse the chopped leeks in a large bowl, pour them into a colander and let it drain. So far (touch wood) I’ve always managed to “cook the soil out” and haven’t encountered any grit/soil.

[@Josheroo]

Agreed Elise. Coming from a not well off family, I had beef wellington twice before I earned my own money and could justify spending it because I enjoy cooking. Have you seen the price of a beef fillet, Ingrid? A family-sized (4-6 people) beef wellington uses around a kilo of beef. Beef fillet is priced around £30-60 per kg, depending on rearing and location (Waitrose was the only store that even has beef fillet by the weight on their website after a cursory glance). I'm glad you apparently come from a family that can spaff a median of £45 on one component, of one dish, of one meal, a lot of people cannot.

[@sakitrain7766]

@@ingriddubbel8468 so, you think just 'cause I haven't had it, I'm... American? What logic is that? Lol you do know there are plenty of nations who don't have beef wellington as a staple meal, right? Nor even as a specialty or even part of their menu. As for your assumption, no, I'm not American.

For those unsure why they were both soggy, its because the pancake is supposed to protect the pastry from the mushrooms and beef, ie layering should be pastry, pancake, mushrooms then beef.
