Steak and Kidney Pudding

Leave a reply

1½-2 pounds steak
½ pound calf’s kidney
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces freshly grated or packaged suet
12 ounces self-raising flour
Dripping
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or onion
¼ pint rich beef stock
2-4 tablespoons port wine (optional)

Cut steak and kidney into rather small pieces, and shake well in a bowl containing flour and ¼ level teaspoon each salt and freshly ground pepper, until all the pieces are well coated.

Combine finely grated suet with self-raising flour, adding pepper and salt, to taste, to make a light suet crust.

Grease a pudding basin with dripping, line it with the crust and put in the seasoned meat and finely chopped shallot or onion. Combine stock and port wine (if desired), and fill up the basin with this mixture to near the top, adding a little water if necessary. Put on the pastry lid, making sure the edges are well sealed to keep in the steam. Cover the whole pudding with a floured cloth and simmer or steam 3 to 4 hours. The crust should be rather damp. Serves 4 to 6.

Canard Périgourdin (Duck, Périgord Style)

Leave a reply

ingredients:
1 plump 4-pound duck (cleaned, singed, and washed)
7 Tablespoons butter
1 canned or fresh truffle
salt, pepper
30 pitted prunes
½ pound foie gras (goose liver mousse)
1 envelope unflavored gelatin

instructions:
1. Stuff the duck with a walnut-size piece of butter, the sliced truffle, salt and pepper. Sew up the openings.
2. Brush the duck with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and cook in a moderate oven for 75-90 minutes.
3. Poach the prunes in salt water for 15 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
4. Stuff fifteen of the prunes with the goose liver mousse, setting aside about 2 ounces of the mousse.
5. When the duck has cooled, cover it with the unstuffed prunes cut into halves. Stick them to the duck with the remaining mousse.
6. Prepare the gelatine as directed on the envelope. Coat the duck repeatedly with the gelatine, allowing it to “set” each time in order to obtain a thicker layer. Refrigerate.
7. Place the stuffed prunes around the duck, together with any leftover gelatine. Serve cold, with a green salad in season.

In the Périgord, the gelatine is flavored with the broth from one fresh truffle. The foie gras mousse is available in delicatessens and specialty shops.
