Chapter 101: Honey roasted pork and tarpon soup
Since before the cataclysm, rivers, lakes, seas, forests, and mountains have been nature's generous gifts to mankind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, as long as you are diligent, there are often gratifying harvests.
Lin Chou took a turn near the waterhole and easily ambushed a stupid rabbit who was drinking water, this rabbit was very fat, nearly twenty catties, his fur was oily and slippery, and his muscles were elastic to the touch.
Rabbits are such things, except for the brains, are live meat, and a little processing has a good texture and taste.
The fly in the ointment is that the rabbit meat is bland and tasteless, and the chicken and rabbit are stewed together, and only the aroma of the chicken is stewed, because the rabbit meat is very easy to adhere to the taste of other ingredients, and there is also a saying of "Baiwei meat".
If you want to make delicious rabbit meat, you still have to put in a lot of work.
At this time, it was around the autumn festival, and it was the best time for rabbits to be fattest and delicious, so Lin Chou found some green plants and natural seasonings in the forest for backup.
"Brother worried, look at it."
The bonsai is holding a big fish in his hand, showing off proudly.
It is a large freshwater silver carp with a long arm, a huge head and a slender tail, a white fish with snowflake-like purple and blue patterns on its body, and a bulging belly, which seems to be a pregnant woman.
Lin Chou used a convenient shovel to split a large stone in half and dig out a groove, which was considered a pot.
The craftsmanship is limited, and this "pot" is really a bit thick, and it doesn't look very beautiful.
The pine resin started the fire, and the whole dead branch was burned, and three stones were used as supports, and a stone pot filled with water was placed on the fire.
Lin Chou took the opportunity to deal with the tarpon, the belly of the tarpon was full of caviar and fish oil, the meat was fat, the gills were removed, the internal organs were taken out and cleaned, and the water in the stone pot had begun to boil.
Put the whole tarpon in the pot for half a minute, then take it out and dry it aside, pour out the water in the stone pot and replace it with a pot to boil.
"What is this for?"
Lin Chou put the tarpon into the pot again and squeezed the juice of a jerky lime, "The tarpon has a strong earthy smell, blanching is simple to remove the blood foam and remove the fish, and then boiling it with unripe wild lemon juice also has the effect of removing the fish, and the conditions are limited, so it can only be like this." ”
The tarpon was shaped into strips of beige fish roe with snow-white fish oil attached to them, and Lin Chou evenly sprinkled a small amount of green salt on its surface and stacked them in a circle along the edge of the stone pot.
Next up is the main event, Bunny.
Make an opening on the top of your head, chop off four paws, and you can easily tear off the entire rabbit skin with a hard tear.
The rabbit meat that has been skinned and gutted shows a delicate pink color, and Lin Chou chooses to bleed the rabbit and kill it, so that the rabbit meat will appear more crystal clear.
Stuffed with ubiquitous shallots and cassava into the rabbit's belly and sewn together, the shallots are fresh and spicy, giving them a unique botanical fragrance.
Cassava is a shrub-like perennial plant with swollen roots and slightly poisonous raw food, but when cooked, it is sweet and sweet, with a soft taste like bread.
The whole rabbit is wrapped in plantain leaves, threaded on sharpened branches, and another fire is split to grill.
The plantain leaves are roasted over an open flame and emit bursts of fragrant smoke, dripping white juice, and then being roasted and dried.
Plantain leaves are thick and contain a lot of moisture, and the outside is scorched, and the juice from the inside boils and conducts heat to the rabbit meat, which is another form of cooking.
After half an hour of roasting, the banana leaves basically turned to ashes, and Lin Chou peeled off the layers of banana leaves, exposing the rabbit meat that had turned slightly white and a little green.
The simple sutures of the rabbit's abdomen are filled with hot steam and the fragrance of shallots, which is particularly tempting.
A little salt was sprinkled on the surface, and the burning dead branches were picked out of the fire, leaving only the red charcoal fire, and the rabbit was placed on the charcoal fire again, and it was carefully roasted.
Rabbit meat is very easy to roast dry, and a roast rabbit without gravy is equivalent to failure, and this is when the rabbit mesh plate oil specially reserved by Lin Chou comes in handy.
Every few minutes of roasting, a few pieces of net oil are covered on the surface of the rabbit, under the red charcoal fire, the plate oil turns into golden grease flowing on the surface of the rabbit, locking the moisture at the same time, under the action of the fat, the rabbit meat quickly changes from pink to golden, and the meat is fragrant.
The potted plant wrinkled his little nose, "It's so fragrant, it's okay, it's okay, it's not good, it's urgent." ”
Lin Chou said, "If it's that fat slug, we're already eating." ”
"Hmph."
After another difficult half an hour, the rabbit meat became golden and attractive, Lin Chou cut off a piece of honeycomb, kneaded it into a ball, and spread it evenly on the surface of the rabbit, slightly away from the fire.
The orange-yellow honey bubbles up on the surface of the rabbit meat, dipping into the texture of the muscles, and the sweet taste spreads through.
Zuo Chen couldn't wait, took out a tablecloth from the treasure chest and wrapped it around his neck, and took out two small bowls and a soup spoon.
Lin Miao said curiously, "Hey, is there anything you didn't bring with you?" ”
Zuo Chen folded his fingers and calculated, "People are girls, there are a lot of things to bring, cosmetics, sunscreen, soap, mask, toner, bedding, dry food, needles, threads, brains, tents, chopsticks, anti-wolf spray, light source, tinder, dry food..."
"After all that, did you forget your brain?"
“...”
"Open the meal!"
Lin Chou announced, Zuo Chen suddenly forgot someone's sarcasm and cheered.
At the edge of the stone pot, the silver carp roe has turned golden yellow, the bottom is slightly charred, the surface is oily, and there is a fresh and smoky flavor of fish soup.
Lin Chou picked up a piece of fish roe and put it in his mouth, the texture of the simple cooking tarpon roe is more delicious than the best caviar, you can accurately taste the elasticity and sticky taste of each fish roe on the surface, and the fish roe inside is completely different, dense and soft, spreading out in the mouth like melting ice cream.
"Good!"
Lin Chou's eyes lit up, while Zuo Chen was holding a bowl of fish soup, ignoring the hot air, drinking it slightly.
Perhaps the stone pot played a mysterious role, the silver carp soup milk is generally snow-white and thick, without the slightest fishy smell, the aroma is tangy, leaving crystal traces on the wall of the bowl, this is a bowl of fish soup that will "hang the cup".
Zuo Chen tore off a whole rabbit leg again, and bit it when he opened his mouth, "Hmm, it's hot, it's hot!" Hiss! ”
The surface of the rabbit meat is browned, the honey roasted over a slight fire makes the surface of the rabbit almost reflect the light of the fire, the torn part can be seen with a moist luster, and each muscle texture has a mouth-watering pink gravy, which is full of fragrance.
This is the mastery of Lin Chou's roasting technique, the surface is charred and crispy, and the inside is juicy.
Zuo Chen took a bite of it, and the rabbit meat first burst into his mouth with a slight tearing and crisp sound, and then the hot and rich and delicious meat juice burst out.
"Hmm..."
Bonsai closed his eyes, unable to say a word, any language became superfluous, only this wonderful burst rabbit meat, is the only eternal truth.
