Carbonnade A la Flammande

675g braising steak
1 large onion
sliced carrot and/or mushroom
1oz flour
Garlic...the more the merrier
1/2 pint dark ale
Dijon mustard
6 slices french bread cut 1/2 inch thick rounds

Cut meat into 5cm pieces and brown in a little oil..don't crowd the pan.

Remove meat when browned , lower heat and cook onion until soft..stir in flour and garlic, add water and ale, season.

Place in casserole dish with the meat and sling in oven at 160/gas mark 3 for 21/2 hours. ( you can add carrots and mushrooms at this point if you wish)

15 mins before serving skim off any fat and set aside, spread the bread rounds with the mustard and place on top of the dish ( mustard side up) pushing down into it slightly.

Drizzle with any fat reserved and place back in oven for 20 minutes without the lid

Hearty enough to serve on its own.

Watermelon and Onion Salad

Here is one for the summer nights.

1 watermelon, seeds removed and cut into bite sized pieces.
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 large onion, (preferably a Spanish onion) thinly sliced.

For the sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp clear honey
½ clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp mixed herbs
Salt & pepper

Put the lemon pieces in a bowl and sprinkle on the mint and mix.
Put all the sauce ingredients in a screw top jar and shake well to mix.
Put the onions in a separate bowl and mix with the sauce.
Leave the melon and onions for an hour, stirring the onions occasionally.
Mix the onions with the watermelon just before serving.

This may sound strange but, believe me, it tastes heavenly and is unbelievably refreshing on a warm summer evening.

Enjoy
