DD> Oil is oil as long as it's not 10W 30.
Hardly. Coconut, olive, mustard, sesame and unrefined peanut oil
all taste VERY different from each other. Mind you neutral tasting
highly refined oils like canola, corn and soy are certainly
interchangeable. But even corn oil has a residual hint of a corny
taste and smell to it.
Refined oils are deodourised using steam. The oil is heated in a
vacuum to near its smoke point and water is injected at the bottom
of the vessel. It quickly turns to steam which bubbles through the
oil carrying with it any water soluble chemicals that carry flavour,
odour and colour. The high heat in the vacuum also eliminates other
volatile elements by distillation.
12 oz Shortcrust pastry
8 Rabbit joints
8 oz Belly pork, cubed
2 Onions, peeled and chopped
2 Sprigs parsley,
1 Sprig thyme,
3 Sage leaves and
1 Bayleaf
Tied together with string
1/2 pt Water or chicken stock
Salt and black pepper
Put the rabbit joints, belly pork, onion, herbs and water or stock
into a casserole and season to taste. Cover and cook for 1 to 1 1/2
hours or until the rabbit joints are tender, topping up with water or
stock as necessary. Discard the herbs and turn the stew into a large
deep pie dish. Allow to cool. Set oven to 325 F or Mark 3. Roll out
the pastry on a lightly floured surface to form an oval. Damp the
edges of the pie dish and put on the pastry lid, trimming the edges
neatly. Use the trimmings for decoration. Brush the pastry with a
little milk or beaten egg to glaze. Increase the oven temperature to
400 F or Mark 6 and cook the pie for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the
top is golden brown. Serve with potatoes and swedes mashed together
with butter and milk, carrots and a green vegetable.
MMMMM
