Cooking Live with Slashfood: gardiane, simmering. very. slowly.

simmering very slowly
We're cooking
Gardiane La Camargue, French beef stew in the style of the cowboys Francais in the Camargue, south of Arles. The dish is from Patricia Wells' Bistro Cooking. Yesterday we cut the meat into 3- or 4-ounce pieces and prepped the carrots, onions and garlic before mixing it all together for an overnight marinade. Then, we drained the beef, reserving the marinade, and heated up oil in a pan. Then, I started browning the beef. Finally, I added in herbs and (whoops) the wrong kind of olives. Then I started to simmer.

I picked up my lid about 30 minutes ago and the mixture hadn't even started bubbling yet. It was just... resting, warmly. I turned up the heat and now it's actually simmering. I'm headed out to get those oil-cured olives! I think I'm going to get some couscous as a side dish, that seems appropriate somehow. I'll post a wrap-up when the simmering finally concludes.

Yours looks great. So... How's the flavor? I might try this again using hard cider instead of red wine. I'm not a wine fan.



Couscous is an inspired idea for an accompaniment.

If I were trying to do all that I'd have dinner on the table sometime around midnight! =o

I'll post a wrapup in a few. Thanks for cooking along with me! (and please don't be TOO impressed. my babysitter helps and my husband is in charge of all cleaning ;)
