2 tbsp. cognac
4 oz mushrooms

Return mushrooms, garlic & shallot to pan, add cognac & beef stock and reduce by ½. Then add cream and reduce by 1/3. Season & pour oven steaks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bread and Butter Pudding with Whiskey Sauce.

8 slices of white bread, buttered
115-150g mixed dry fruit
2.5ml nutmeg
150g caster sugar
2 large eggs
300ml single cream
450ml milk
5ml of vanilla essence
Light brown sugar for sprinkling

FOR THE WHISKEY SAUCE:
150g butter
115g caster sugar
1 egg
45ml Irish whiskey

• Preheat the oven to 180'C/gas4. Remove the crusts from the bread and put four slices, butter side down on the base of an oven proof dish. Sprinkle with the fruit, some of the nutmeg and 15ml of the sugar.

• Place the remaining 4 slices on top, buttered side down, and sprinkle again with nutmeg and 15ml sugar.

• Beat the eggs lightly and add the vanilla essence, cream, milk and remaining sugar and mix well to make custard. Pour this mixture over the bread and pour light brown sugar over the dish, if you like to have a crispy crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about one hour or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the pudding is risen and brown.

• Meanwhile make the whiskey sauce: melt the butter in a heavy pan, add the caster sugar and cook over a gentle heat.

• Remove from the heat and add the egg whisking vigorously and then add the whiskey. Serve the pudding on hot serving plates, with the whiskey sauce poured over the top.

Bake for 45 mins – 1 hour at 350º F. The pudding is cooked when it is a consistent rich brown colour. If it is still pale in the centre or on top, it is not quite done.
