#4 Black & White

This weeks winner of Food of the week was Black and white! It takes some time to make but it's all worth it. You will have to do the steps in the recipe more or less simultaneousley, but start off with the sauces and the tomatoes, and of course the beef and pork at last.


2 persons
Ingredients:
Red wine-thyme sauce
5 dl red wine
2 vegetable stocks
2 carrots
2 parsnips
2 yellow onions
1 tablespoon of black currant jelly.
1 teaspoon of collorit
½ dl corn starch
5 dl water
thyme
Mushroom sauce
2 yellow onions
400 g mushrooms (champignon)
1 vegetable stock
a nip of black pepper
2 dl water
½ dl corn starch
1,5 dl cream
Mashed potatoes
4 potatoes
100 g butter
Puff pastry
a nip of salt and white pepper
Beef and pork tenderloin
300 g beef tenderloin
200 g pork tenderloin
a nip of salt and white pepper
Oven baked tomatoes
2 tomatoes
cheese (parmesan)
leek
a nip of black pepper

How to:
Red wine-thyme sauce
Start of by chopping the parsnips, carrots and the onion in medium sized pieces, then put them in a casserole and fry it for 10 minutes. Pour the red wine sauce into the casserole and let it boil for 15 minutes.
Add the water, some thyme, a nip of white pepper and the vegetable stocks, let it continue to boil for about 40 minutes. Strain the vegetables out of the sauce.
Add the black currant jelly and boil it for about 2 minutes. Finish it by adding the corn starch and the collorite, let it boil until it gets the right consistency.
Mushroom sauce
Chop the onions in small pieces and fry it in a casserole for 8 minutes. Continue by adding the champignon (whole pieces) and let it fry for another 10 minutes. Add the water, the vegetable stock and the black pepper, let it all boil for for 20 minutes, then continue by adding the corn starch and boil it for 3 minutes.
Finish it of by adding the cream and let it boil for 2 minutes.
Mashed potatoes
Cut the potatoes in medium pieces and boil them with a nip of salt. When the potatoes are done, add the butter and the white pepper, then crush the potatoes so you get some mashed potatoes.
Wrap the mashed potatoes in puff pastry so you get the bag shaped form, tie it using some boiled leek. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes on 140 degrees.
Beef and pork tenderloin
Fry the pork until it's whole fried, add the salt and white pepper at the end. Fry the beef, start of by frying the edges, we want it medium so we will fry it until we can see some blood seeping out from the top (more on this in the "Food of week #3"). We will not add any salt or pepper to the beef.
Oven baked tomatoes
Put the cheese, leek, egg and the black pepper in a bowl and stir it a little bit.
Clean the tomatoes inside and put the mixture into the tomatoes.
Let it cook in the oven for 40 minutes on 140 degrees.

Bon appetit!
