La Recette

The Ingredients

Beef Fricassee (fricassee basically means a sliced, stewed meat)
Finely Sliced Beef to fill casserole
Sliced Mushrooms to fill casserole
Chunk of Butter
A Dusting of Flour
A Few Spoons of Beef Broth (preferable) or Water
Small Onion or Shallot
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Two Cloves


Liaison (sauce thickener-usually calls for cream but not in this recipe, so I will try it without-you may do as you please)
3 egg yolks
vinegar or lemon juice
pinch of nutmeg

Garnish (home-made croutons)
French Bread
Olive Oil or Butter

1. Cook the mushrooms with butter until mushrooms sweat (I would suggest in a frying pan)
2. Dust with flour, add broth, salt, pepper and onion

(I would suggest cornstarch instead of flour mixed with the broth or water to thicken the sauce)
3. Cook lovingly (mitonner, what a wonderful word!)
4. Add enough meat so that each slice is soaked. Cover and cook in pan over high heat, allowing to stew.
5. To make the liaison, mix all ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly.
6. Pour liaison over meat and serve with homemade croutons (bread cut into cubes and coated in oil and baked at 350 for 10 minutes)

Done! Photos and tasting notes later.
