Method
- Simmer the oats in the water with the bay, onions, and seasonings 1 hour until thick and creamy. 60 min
- Add the raw ground meats, breaking them up, and cook 1 more hour, stirring often, until very thick.
- Season boldly: it dulls once cold. Pack into loaf pans and chill overnight until solid.
- Slice 1cm thick.
- Fry in butter over medium heat 5-6 min a side without moving it, until a deep crust forms. 6 min
How to tell it is going right
This dish has no standard of its own yet. It is judged on the technique it exercises: checked at the pan, while there is still something to be done about it.
Sautéing & the shallow fry 80 recipes
- Everything sits in a single layer with visible space between the pieces: nothing stacked, nothing touching, or the pan is too small for the quantity.
- The pieces move freely and keep moving, sliding across the pan rather than sticking and tearing when the pan is worked.
- Light even browning arrived at quickly: colour on most faces, not the deep crust of a sear and not grey.
- A thin film of fat with the food glossed by it: no pool left in the pan at the end, and nothing greasy on the fingers or the plate.
- Cooked through but still firm, having spent only a few minutes in the pan: anything that has gone soft has been in there too long.
Where it goes wrong Too much went in at once, the pan cooled, and the food released its water: what was meant to brown in three minutes stews for ten and comes out grey, slack and wet.
