Ingredients

  • 2 pieces beef fillet
  • Glug olive oil
  • 6 whole cloves garlic, peeled
  • Few sprigs rosemary
  • Fresh seasoning
  • Knob of butter
  • 100ml red wine
  • 1 beef stock pot or bullion

For the garlic mash

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 20g butter
  • 100ml double cream
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

For the spinach

  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 tbsp horseradish sauce
  • 100ml double cream

Method

Start this recipe by boiling the potatoes in a pan till soft. Meanwhile, Heat the olive oil in a griddle pan and add the garlic and rosemary to infuse the oil. After a minute, add the beef fillets and brown on both sides to seal. Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste, remove from the pan and place in an oven proof dish. Continue to cook the beef in the oven at 200`c, for about another 7 minutes, or to your desired taste. In the same pan with the beef juices add the beef stock pot and the red wine and reduce to a sauce. Add in the knob of butter and mix in so that you are left with a thick, glossy sauce. (Remove the garlic cloves as you will be using them in the mash) Next, make the garlic mash by draining the boiled potatoes, and mashing them quickly. Add the butter, cream, chopped parsley, fresh seasoning to taste and the whole garlic cloves from the pan used to seal the beef.Continue to mash to a smooth paste. Take the cooked beef out of the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes while you prepare the spinach. In another pan, heat the remaining double cream with the horseradish sauce till thick, then add the fresh spinach, season well with salt and pepper and cook for just a minute to wilt the spinach leaves. You are now ready to start plating your food. Take two large dinner plates and spoon the garlic mash in the middle. Next, pile the creamy horseradish spinach on top. Slice up the 2 pieces of beef fillet and arrange on the plates. Drizzle the prepared red wine sauce over the fillet and around the plate and garnish with rosemary sprigs.

Flett taċ-ċanga bil-patata maxx tat-tewm, spinaċi u l-għerg tal-mustarda

Ingredients

  • 2 fletti taċ-ċanga
  • żejt taż-żebbuġa
  • 6 sinniet tewm sħaħ, imqaxxra
  • ftit biċċiet klin
  • ħwawar friski
  • ftit butir
  • 100ml nbid aħmar
  • cube taċ-ċanga jew stock pot

Għall-maxx tat-tewm

  • 2 patatiet kbar
  • 20g butir
  • 100ml krema doppja
  • mgħarfa tursin, imqatta’

Għall-ispinaċi

  • 2 ponnijiet weraq tal-ispinaċi friska
  • 2 mgħaref zalza tal-għerq tal-mustarda (horseradish)
  • 100ml krema doppja

Method

Għalli l-patata f’kazzola sakemm tirtab. Sadattant saħħan iż-żejt taż-żebbuġa f’taġen bil-grilja u żid it-tewm u l-klin għat-togħma. Wara minuta, itfa’ l-fletti taċ-ċanga u ħammarhom miż-żewġ naħat biex tissiġillahom. Ħawwar bil-bżar u l-melħ, neħħihom mit-taġen u poġġihom f’dixx tal-forn. Kompli sajjar fil-forn, f’temperatura ta’ 200oC għal madwar 7 minuti oħra, jew kif tiggosta. Fl-istess taġen li fih ikollok il-meraq taċ-ċanga, żid l-istokk (cube jew stock pot) u l-inbid aħmar sakemm il-meraq jagħqad biex tifforma z-zalza. Żid ukoll il-butir u ħawwad biex iz-zalza tiġi aktar magħquda. (Neħħi s-sinniet tat-tewm għax se tużahom mal-patata maxx). Imbagħad agħmel il-maxx – saffi l-patata u għaffiġha. Żid il-butir, il-krema, it-tursin imqatta’, il-ħwawar friski għat-togħma u s-sinniet sħaħ tat-tewm li tkun sajjart maċ-ċanga. Kompli għaffeġ biex tifforma taħlita kremuża. Oħroġ il-biċċiet taċ-ċanga mill-forn u ħallihom joqogħdu għal ftit minuti sakemm tlesti l-ispinaċi. F’taġen ieħor, saħħan il-krema li jkun fadal maz-zalza tal-mustarda sakemm tagħqad. Imbagħad żid l-ispinaċi friska u ħawwar tajjeb bil-bżar u l-melħ. Sajjar għal minuta oħra biex l-ispinaċi tirtab ftit. Issa tista’ tlesti l-platti. F’żewġ platti kbar, poġġi mgħarfa patata maxx bit-tewm fin-nofs u itfa’ fuqha t-taħlita tal-ispinaċi u l-mustarda. Qatta’ ċ-ċanga fi strixxi u poġġihom fil-platti. Ferrex iz-zalza tal-inbid aħmar fuqhom u mad-dawra tal-platt u żejjen bil-biċċiet tal-klin.
