Mangia, mangia, mangia! But before you can eat, you have to learn how to cook! The Barony of Settmour Swamp invites you to learn all about creating feasts at our Cooking Collegium on June 28th, from 10 am to 10 pm at St. Paul's Church in Flemington, NJ.
We have classes to satisfy your brain and your stomach, for beginner chefs to advanced ones. Throughout the day, cooking, brewing, and herb related classes will be taught. We will have three types of classes: technique and theory, tasting (sampling foods), and hands-on (cooking or prepping food). And everyone will be a chef, as the food prepped in the hands-on classes will be served throughout the day buffet style, with a large buffet feast at the end of the day.

The Mirepoix

Remove from mirepoix from the stockpot, leaving the liquid.
Increase temperature to medium high
add a couple of pinches of kosher salt
Add 1/2 the cubed beef and brown well
Add remaining beef and brown.
stir in 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper- (we add the pepper at this point because if you add it before browning, you will simply burn the pepper)
and cook for 1 minute
de-glaze the pan with the red wine
stir in the mirepoix
Add the garlic
stir in the potatoes
add enough water to cover the meat.
add the bouillon cubes (dissolve in warn water before adding)
Bring to a boil
Once the pot boils, reduce to a simmer and cover.
after an hour check for taste and season with salt and pepper
After two hours check the potatoes for doneness. Meat should be fork tender.
If the stew is not thick enough, you can add arrowroot or cornstarch mixed in warm water to the stew to thicken.
Serve in your favorite period bowl or for a more dramatic effect serve in a bread bowl. Garnish with a sprig of parsley.
