The secret ingredient I added at the end, increases the richness, though it's still hard to tell exactly what it is. The taste tester couldn't figure it out. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week. Also, if you love honest and unpretentious food talk with a bit of sarcasm be sure to check out our podcast KZfaq channel: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast

@maym6085 6 ай бұрын

I made this today. Dear Lord, amazing! I saw this video randomly yesterday and tomorrow I have a friendly dinner and according to the written recipe, is better to prepare the day before so it has time to develop flavor to the fullest! I trusted the process and added a little chocolate and turned out AMAZING. The only difference is that I did not use fresh thyme, i had only dried, and that I had to add extra olive oil after the bacon, because my bacon did not had much fat to give..perhaps that is because of the percentage of fat on each brand. And I live in Greece so maybe is really different. Other than that, i highly suggest you follow exactly the steps, and the result will not dissapoint you. Greetings from Greece!

You really shouldn't be. Skimming the fat is silly and accomplishes nothing, "power" reducing the sauce the way he did is foolish considering how worried he is about burning things; especially considering he could have just thickened it with a corn starch or a roux which would have produced a greater yield and a much thicker sauce. He burns his pearl onions and then cooks the mushrooms in the same pot then adds the onions back in, when he could have saved himself a bunch of hassle by just doing the mushrooms first, then dropping the thawed pearl onions in. He did the same thing with his stock and deglazing the pan... just unnecessary work.

I have a question for you, Frenchman. I've heard about your hot chocolate over there being absolutely wonderful, do you actually just melt chocolate, how is it done?

@ren2704 6 ай бұрын

@@vulgarprophet2689 Hello. It depends if you use cacao powder or real chocolate. If you use cacao powder you can start to heat your milk up and when it starting to be hot (not boiling) you can mix the powder (if it's too cold you will get chunks). If you use real chocolate, cut it into small pieces as much as you like and then you put them in a cup and you add hot milk and then you mix it with a spoon until you reach a smooth texture. You can do it in the pot of milk as well but off heat of course. Using real dark chocolate is way better then the powder of course. Please note that if you use plant based milks, the flavour will be different but mixing a third of your (oat or cow) milk with hazelnut milk will give a very nice nutella style flavour without it being too overwhelming.

My personal tricks.. a few skin on cloves of garlic in the braise, squeezed out into the sauce, for warmth and roundness. If you keep a bottle of dry sherry or Chinese cooking wine around the kitchen, seasoning with a teaspoon or two can sometimes shift a recipe like this in a really good direction.
