CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE LEFTOVER STOCK

What to do! What a waste to just pour this salty meaty broth down the sink. Save in a tupperware container for your next meal.

It can be used to make rice or quinoa.

Or a nice cabbage soup or potato stew.

I've made Ramen with it.

It can also be turned into a gravy!

Or as liquid for braising a roast.

BREAD SANDWICH

Okay but like actually though? I think you're on to something.

Put jam on one half abd peanut butter on the other side, with the crunchy toast in the middle?

Yeah, just tried it, not bad.

I think next time I would toast the middle longer so it's more like a cracker.

Last time I made a stew, I just drank all the concentrated liquid at the end.

I realised too late I should have saved it to cook some rice noodles in another day.

*scratches head*

When I make a stew all the liquid becomes gravy.

How are you making stews?

Flemish stew. To be fair, it should have been gravy, but I didn't add enough bread(or flour) to thicken it. Maybe a bit too much beer as well. Still very flavorfull liquid, but I definitely need to improve on it.

I like to think that it did help that I served it to a guest inside a freshly baked bread that I cut the top off. I ate stew like that in Budapest once and I wanted to recreate it that experience.

Flemish stew looks excellent.

There is a Guinness beef stew I've been wanting to make that is similar.

I think most stews of that kind call for like one bottle of beer, probably like 12oz to 15oz. It's mostly for flavor.

The easiest way to add flour is to make a slurry first, then it is easier to stir in without clumping. About 2-3 TBS.

Another stew that I really want to make is Rendang. I only ate it once, years ago and I need to have it again.

Oh, yeah, crap. I forgot.

Pour this corned beef broth through a mesh strainer to get most of the crap out for a clearer broth. There's bits floating around.

After it cools, the fat will all float to the top like a butter.

Skim as much of that off as possible if you want to reduce the fat content in your next thing.
