Subject: Stromboli Sandwiches
Hi Phaedrus,
In the early 80's, I found a recipe in a magazine (don't
remember the magazine name) called stromboli sandwiches.
The meat mixture called for fennel seed. Once the meat
mixture was done, you spooned it onto a slice of rye bread,
placed a slice of mozzarella cheese on that, then a slice
of rye. You wrap them in aluminum foil and freeze them
until you wanted one. Then they were baked.
Got any ideas?
Thanks,
Cindi
Hi Cindi,
See below. These don't call for rye bread, but you can certainly use rye bread with them.

Hello Rob,
The only recipe for bordelaise sauce containing bacon that I can locate is
the one below. Note that it is a three-step recipe. You make Matignon sauce
first, using the bacon. Then you use the matignon sauce to make sauce
espagnole. Finally, you use the sauce espagnole to make bordelaise sauce.

Bordelaise Sauce For Game
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Game
Sauces Jw
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----Matignon-----
1/3 c Parsnip, diced
1/3 c Celery ribs&leaves, chopped
1 Sprig of thyme
1 t Bacon fat or butter
1/3 c Onion, chopped
2 Bay leaves, crushed
1 tb Bacon, minced
1/4 c Madeira
-----Sauce Espagnole-----
1 c Matignon, from above
1/2 c Flour
2 c Tomatoes, peeled, chopped
8 c Stock, clarified carb/beef
1/2 c Caribou or beef drippings
12 Cracked peppercorns
1/4 c Parsley, chopped
-----Bordelaise Sauce-----
1/2 c Dry red wine
1 c Espagnole sauce, from above
6 Crushed peppercorns
1/4 c Bone marrow, diced.
This is a three step process ( four if you count
making the stock in advance) but well worth it as it
makes a superb accompliment to the finest game or beef
steaks and roasts. The Matignon is similar to
Mirepoix. Carrot is traditional in the classic French
recipe but parsnip is more appropriate for game. Melt
the bacon fat, mince the vegetables and add to the pan
with the herbs. Cook slowly for 15 minutes until
vegetables are soft. Set aside and deglaze pan with
the madeira. Reserve the liquid. Melt in a heavy
saucepan the drippings. Add the Matignon and reheat
it. Add the flour, heat and stir until browned. Then
add the pepper, tomatoes, parsley and stir. Add the
stock and simmer gently until liquid reduced by half,
about 2-2 1/2 hrs. Stir occasionally and skim fat off
the top as it accumulates. Strain the sauce and stir
occasionally as it cools to avoid skimming. There
should be about 6 cups. Set aside 5 cups for other
brown sauces later and take one cup for the last step.
In a saucepan, gently simmer red wine with pepper
until reduced to 3/4. Add one cup of Espagnole and
simmer 5 min. Add reserved madeira de-glazing liquid
from step one and the diced marrow and poach it 5 min.
Serve with game or beef chops, steaks, roasted Fillet
Mignon, char boiled cuts and sweetbreads.

Why does meringue bead up??? I have wet droplets on the meringue.
Hello Dayle,
There are several things that can cause meringue to bead up:
1) Humid weather is enough by itself. If you make a meringue on a humid day, beading can be a problem.
2) The sugar didn't completely dissolve during beating - This usually happens because it was added too fast. Slowly, slowly...
3) The meringue was allowed to sit before baking
4)The meringue was underbaked or baked at too high of an oven temperature. (Ovens are not all the same. Thermostats may not be properly calibrated, particularly on electric stoves.)
5)The pie wasn't cooled slowly enough.
If you are continually plagued by beady meringues, the only other tip I know is to blend a teaspoon of cornstarch into the sugar before beating it into the egg whites.
