Bifanas de Vendas Novas

Ingredientes

- 1 Papo-Seco por bifana

 - Lombo de porco

- Alhos

- Vinho branco

- Colorau (uma pitada) 

- Louro

- Sal

- Pimenta

para fritar:

- Margarina vegetal ( é utilizada uma quantidade superior à do óleo)

- Óleo

O verdadeiro segredo das bifanas de Vendas Novas é a qualidade da carne (lombo de porco) e a forma como esta é batida.

Preparação:

Limpa-se muito bem o lombo de porco retirando-se  todas as peles e gorduras. Cortam-se bifes com cerca de um centímetro de espessura e batem-se muito bem dos dois lados com um martelo de bater a carne.

É neste processo que está o verdadeiro segredo. Os bifes têm de ficar transformados numa fina película de carne,  rendilhada pelos bicos do martelo.

Esmague muito bem os alhos, reduzindo-os a uma massa. Coloque os alhos esmagados numa tigela, e adicione o vinho branco ( muito pouco é só para dar um leve gosto), uma pequena pitada de colorau, o louro, o sal e a pimenta moída na hora.

Mergulhe os bifes muito bem batidos nesta marinada e deixe repousar pelo menos meia hora para tomarem gosto.

Cubra com óleo o fundo de uma  frigideira grande e leve ao lume adicionando a margarina.

Quando a gordura estiver quente, retire os alhos e o louro que estiverem agarrados à carne e frite os bifes dos dois lados. Coloque a carne num prato e reserve.

Adicione à gordura que fritou as bifanas, os alhos o louro e o resto do vinho que ficou na tigela da marinada, deixe ferver um bocadinho para a gordura ficar com o sabor dos ingredientes que se adicionaram.

Leve os papo-secos abertos ao meio a tostarem em forno bem quente. Quando retirar o pão do forno passe ligeiramente a parte do miolo pelo molho que fritou as bifanas (este é mais um dos segredos).

Coloque o bife dentro do papo-seco e sirva de imediato! 

A mostarda é o molho mais indicado para se adicionar às bifanas de Vendas Novas, pois faz realçar os seus temperos.

How to grow tamatoes.

When I was working as a papermaking artist I did a lot of "kitchen chemistry." I really liked to experiment in the studio and I do the similar kind of experimentation in the garden.

This season I planted tomatoes in three different plots. The first plot was a shallow raised bed of logs in a sun/shade space filled with a mix of soil and well composted horse manure. The second plot was grow bags (same sun/shade space) filled with just well composted horse manure. The third plot was an in the ground plot in full sun and against a brick wall and was covered by bark chips where I had grown tomatoes several years before and used Tree Tone organic fertilizer.
Plot one and two; the raised beds and the grow bags were doing very well, the third, in the ground plot was pretty sickly, yellow leaves and stunted growth. I needed to do something and do it fast! First I took some compost and made a ring around the stunted tomato plant. Within three weeks the plant was greening up. At the same time I made up some comfrey compost tea. Three weeks later I poured the compost tea on those same tomatoes and things began to happen!The moral of this story is that tomatoes love acid soil and the well composted horse manure soil was the perfect soil for them.

The compost tea steeping in 5-gallon buckets of water. I used old pots (see right hand side) on top to block the leaves and pine needles from getting in the bucket.

A better view of the comfrey compost tea. It's smelly and potent but effective!
