stewing Explanation: I suggest you turn them round and use stewing and braising, as braising is by definition slow (see below). Came across a couple of sites that translate à l'étuvée as stewed e.g. http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=115166 Search for definitions of stewing and braising (define: + term): Braising is a cooking method by which food is browned with fat, then cooked slowly in covered pot with little moisture at low heat for a lengthy period of time. This process breaks down the fiber of the food, enhancing the flavor and tenderizing the meat. A well-covered pot is very important to prevent water from evaporating. www.cooking.com/advice/adgloss.asp Braising, not to be confused with Brazing, is cooking with "moist heat", typically in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid. From the French "braiser". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braising Unfortunately the definitions for stewing tend to be very similar :-( but this wikipedia article suggests dicing is the difference: In cooking, stewing means preparing vegetables or meat by simmering in liquid. Unlike braising, the ingredients are generally diced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewing This refers mainly to meat of course, but you can also stew fruit - cooked in its own juice or with the addition of a little liquid, though of course it's not usually sauteed first. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-09-07 07:05:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Lots of recipes for stewed onions (www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,stewed_onions,FF.html), stewed squash (www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,stewed_squash,FF.html), stewed shallots (www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Stewed shallots and parsnips), etc.! |
