Kitchen Bouquet Wanna Be Recipes

KITCHEN BOUQUET WANNA-BE

Steps:

• Put brown sugar in a pan on low-medium heat.
• Slowly stir until sugar has started to burn. It will smell and might melt a bit, but in this amount and at this heat it won't melt entirely. If you make a smaller amount for whatever reason it probably will melt completely but that shouldn't make a difference.
• Add water, stir well until liquid is lump-free.
• Bottle and use like Kitchen Bouquet.

BROWNING SAUCE (SUBSTITUTE FOR KITCHEN BOUQUET OR GRAVY MASTER)

Steps:

• Be careful while preparing this as it may sputter.
• Add the sugar to a saucepan and heat on a low or medium-low heat until browned, about 5-10 minutes. When the mixture starts to get dark, take it off the heat and carefully add the water (this may sputter and you don't want to get burned).
• Add the beef soup base and put back on a low heat, stirring until the water is all mixed inches
• Cool and store in a disposable container.
• Use a spoonful or two when making gravies, stews, sauces, meatloavs, meatballs, etc.

SLOW COOKER BROTHY BEEF STEW

Steps:

• arrange vegetables in a slow cooker -- top with beef chunks.set aside.
• mix flour, salt, pepper and sprinkle over meat.
• stir well -- add remaining ingredients.
• cover, heat on low setting for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours --
• remove and discard bay leaf.
• You know I find it easy to convert any favorite stre recipe from stove top to slow cooker -- if it usually simmmers 35-45 minutes.that equals 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high -- Recipes that cook 1-3 hours will be done in 8-12 hours on low or 4-6 on high.at least that is what I use as a guideline.
