[ellenden at harvington.net]

Hi All

I don't think anyone wants to play the "snow" game anymore......... 
Although I
do think it has added a bit of excitment to what is normally a dull grey
month!

SOUP

We are fully stocked up with soup again today.  A few customers have asked
for larger pots, so this week we have both Leek & Potato and Winter
Vegetable in the 1 litre size, In addition to the normal flavours we stock
in the 500 mls.  Please ask if anyone would like me to order any of the
other flavours in the larger size:

Carrot & Corriander
Tomato, Basil & Thyme
Broccoli & Blue Cheese
Roast Parsnip & Mustard seed
Highland Broth
Ministroni

FROZEN PRODUCE
We have had a delivery from Field Fayre today, having sold out, we now
have in stock: 
Frozen peas 
Garlic Bread
Raspberries
Puff Pastry
Apricot Danish -  quite a few people have been asking us to stock this
again

SEASONAL VEGETABLES

We have got leeks in stock again, although they have escalated in
price.......  I did hear that Budgens were charging £2.49 for a
cauliflower
- dealing with Drinkwaters who grow their own, we have managed to keep
ours
to £1.20 - but I have been told they are currently fetching £1.50 at
wholesale market, so we are very grateful to the Drinkwater family......


RECIPE OF THE WEEK - Thank you Paula

BRAISED ELLENDEN FARM BRISKET

Serves: 4
Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 4 hours

INGREDIENTS

1 kg cubed Brisket
4 tbsp flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
4 Onions, peeled & quartered
12 small carrots peeled
2 bay leaves
2 tsp of dried thyme
1 x 400g can of beef consomme 
400 mls Red Wine
4 large potatoes, peeled & cut into wedges

1.  Preheat oven to 170C/Gas 3
2.  Coat the beef in the flour and dust off any excess
3.  Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the beef to seal
4.  Transfer the beef to a large casserole dish with all the remaining
    ingredients
5.  Bring to a simmer on the stove and then cover with a lid.
6.  Put the casserole into the preheated oven and cook for four hours. 
    Taste and if necessary season.

Finally I have heard it is going to be 7 degrees at the weekend - it will
be a little strange seeing the green grass again having been white for what
seems like a long time.....

Thank you for the emails - please keep sending them. I am putting the
comments board together for the shop. 

Kind regards

Sara
