Today I am starting something different for my cooking class. I will be watching this cooking show called Cook like a Chef from Food Network Canada. Today They did four easy recipes concerning wine.
The first recipe was a wine fume (a reduction of wine, herbs, fish, and vegetables) on a Red Snapper.
The second recipe was sauteed salmon medallions. He cut salmon steaks into medallions and sauteed them with vegetables and red wine. They were served on veggies and covered with a sauce derived from the leftover saute.
The third recipe was deglazeing pans of pork and beef drippings and turning them into a savory sauce for the meats. He deglazed the pans with red and white wines, herbs, brandy, whole cream, and butter. He then reduced the sauce to concentrate the flavors and give the sauce a little form.
The last recipe was a fig glaze made with dried figs, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, Merlot, and honey. He removed the figs half-way through the reduction process to prevent the figs from becoming mush. He reduced the remaining liquid to a liquid of slime-like consistency. He then put the figs on crusty French bread covered in Ricotta cheese and Spanish ham. The resulting sandwich was covered in the glaze.
