The Gupshup Pantry!!

Ok so let’s play a game. Ill start by mentioning a few random ingredients in our pantry and you all have to prepare a meal using just those ingredients, no others.

Let’s give it a shot. When we get bored, someone can start another pantry.

So today we have:

Some lean beef… A pound of it, uncut
A couple of onions
1 large garlic
A package of mushrooms
Fresh parsley
Salt
Pepper
French bread
Olive oil
Beef stock
Lemongrass
3 Idaho potatoes

You must use all the ingredients

Re: The Gupshup Pantry!!

mmmm! we can use any quantity we want as long as we use all of it right?

beef, potato and mushroom stew...sautee a bit of onion and garlic in olive oil (not too dark), sautee the beef cubes a bit..add the stock and peeled potatoes, let boil and then simmer for awhile..add mushrooms towards the end. season with** salt and **pepper and top with lemon grass

french bread, brush on some olive oil and sprinkled crushed garlic and parsley, bake it in oven for a bit til crispy and golden

Re: The Gupshup Pantry!!

Love it!!! Excellent plan Sara!

Re: The Gupshup Pantry!!

beef should be refrigerated or frozen, and not kept in the pantry. since the challenge is to use all ingredients and I have concerns about safety of the beef, i will just order pizza.

Re: The Gupshup Pantry!!

Ok here's my take on it ..

Grilled Beef Patties ... ( marinate it with meat tenderizer , garlic paste, onion, some parsley , then after a few hours grill it )

To be served with roasted herbed potatoes and Mushroom sauce
Roasted Potatoes : thickly cubed or wedged potatoes , fry them lightly in a few drops oil, then sprinkle , some salt and finely chopped lemon grass and rosemary ... give it a quick few minutes an then chuck them in the oven until the potatoes soften ..

Mushroom Sauce : Fry onions , add a tinge bit garlic .. add in the chopped mushrooms and fry some more , sprinkle in salt and pepper , finally mix some creame Fraiche with beef stock and add this into the mushrooms ... stir until sauce thickens , finally add in some thyme and the sauce is ready

French bread , mix some garlic, parsley and butter , spread this on the bread and in the oven until it crisps up ..

Re: The Gupshup Pantry!!

We have another refrigerator for non meat items but fresh produce, milk, eggs and juice, etc, in our professional kitchen. The one in the pantry is a deep freezer/fridge for storing meats and cold cuts :snooty:
