The Remains of the Day.

Another snowy day here, which is very unseasonable.  Dogs are loving it, however.

I made prime rib roast tonight — beef was on sale at the supermarket, and it’s a simple, but yummy end to a snowy day.  Cooked at 450° for 20 minutes, then 18-20 mins per pound at 350°.

I used this…

Concentrated demiglace

to make this sauce for the beef

Demi Glace sauce with shallots and Bourbon

I saw this a while back at Charelli’s — concentrated demiglace (in a whole bunch of flavours) in 45 ml containers that are shelf-stable, yet have surprisingly few preservatives.  Made for a real simple but rich tasting gravy.  Sauteed shallot in the pan scrapings,  deglaze with a bit of bourbon.  Reduce, add the demiglace and about 1 cup of water.  Finish with a knob of butter if you think it needs a bit of extra silkiness.

To top things off, I finally tried the breadmaking in my new Cuisinart.  800 W motor made short work of the mixing, and here are the resulting dinner rolls.  These are going into the freezer, ready to be baked up from their frozen state.
