Chapter 760: Whole sheep dish

Jane asked, "Is there anything I can help? I really want to learn your cooking skills. It was only today that I discovered that Chinese food is so delicious. I want to learn how you Chinese people cook lamb. We It’s close to the aboriginal reserve and it’s very convenient to eat lamb."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Since you can help, that would be great." After finishing talking, Xiao Peng cut the lamb tenderloin and gave it to Jane: "Jane, can you help me cut them into diced meat? George, you help me put the goat's head in the water and soak it."
"Of course it's okay." Jane chopped up the tenderloin, and Xiao Peng began to wash the viscera of the lamb. George watched him handle the viscera with wide eyes. After all, eating viscera is for them. , But a terrible thing.
Jane cut up the minced meat, Xiao Peng put salt, pepper and other spices in it and marinated it, then cut out a few large pieces of mutton and put them on the other side for marinating. After doing all this, Xiao Peng took care of the sheep intestines.
Sheep farms are actually very difficult to deal with. Compared with pig intestines, they are thinner and smoother, so the cleaning is improved a lot. However, Xiao Peng also has a way. The lower part of the small intestine of the sheep is connected to the cecum, which is also the bitter intestine, and the fine fat intestine is connected under the bitter intestine. After filling the big funnel with water, Xiao Peng asked George to help him squeeze hard, and the water flowed into the small intestine. Xiao Peng kept tapping the small intestine with both hands, squeezing out the feces, and so on repeatedly with water until it was washed.
This repeated process made George nauseous, even saying that he would rather die than eat this.
Xiao Peng didn’t care about him either. He just mixed the sheep’s blood and minced meat together, poured it into the small intestine, tied it into sections with a string, and gave it to Jane:
This kind of blood sausage is boiled directly in water and boiled until it’s out of the pot. Float, the color turns white and you can eat it."
Jane asked curiously: "Is this the same food as Spanish blood sausage?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Almost, they are all blood sausages, but different from Spanish blood sausages. We have different methods of making blood sausages in different parts of China. This method is China Tibet's method of making blood sausages. They like to use small intestines as casings. For the Mongolian people, they like to use the large intestine to make blood sausage, and first stir the sheep blood into the buckwheat flour, and then add the oil and salt seasoning; the Han people are more accustomed to using the casing to make the blood sausage, which contains more ingredients, such as tofu. But after all, this Tibetan way of eating is the most primitive and delicious, and it can best highlight the umami taste of lamb."
"George, do me a favor and light a bonfire on the sand by the river. You must find a dry place." Xiao Peng asked, and he was dealing with the lamb's stomach, which is the lamb belly.
Lamb tripe is a natural cooking utensil. Xiao Peng puts the marinated lamb into it, which will not leak, and is flexible enough.
After Xiao Peng filled the lamb with the lamb, he pressed his mouth tightly, and came to the place where George set the fire. He found a shovel, moved the bonfire away, and felt the temperature of the sand on the ground. I dug a pit in the ground, put the lamb belly stuffed with lamb into the pit, moved the bonfire back to the original place, and added some wood: "Okay, let's roast it slowly."
Xiao Peng's actions aroused everyone's curiosity, and Emilia and Barton also came over. "My dear, what are you doing?" Emilia asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "In China, the stomachs of animals are called'tripes', such as tripe, pork belly, etc. This sheep tripe is a good thing. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", sheep tripe is sweet and warm in nature and can nourish deficiency. To invigorate the stomach, cure insufficiency, excessive heat in the hands and feet. Frequent urination and excessive sweating are suitable for people. In China, it is not uncommon to use animal stomachs to wrap food for cooking. However, Xinjiang Hotan’s method is the most unique, and lamb belly wrapped meat It’s the specialty of Xinjiang."
"Then why are you burying it in the ground?" Emilia asked.
Xiao Peng explained: "There are several cooking methods in Huaxia that are made underground. This lamb belly wrapped meat is one of them. The most important thing to make this lamb belly wrapped meat is charcoal fire and sand. Baking in the sand, like this, the temperature of the sand under the charcoal fire can exceed 180 degrees. This is the most natural oven. The food is evenly heated and you can eat it in about four hours."
Jane was amazed after hearing this, "Would you like this way of cooking? It's really unheard of."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It's still early." After finishing talking, Xiao Peng took the sheep's head out of the clear water, put it in the pot, added clear water and boiled directly.
"Xiao, what is this for?" Jane asked.
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "Don't you drink mutton soup?"
Jian smiled bitterly: "Xiao, in fact, we Xingtiao people really rarely eat mutton. After all, mutton is too expensive and the method is very troublesome. Lamb dishes are only available in high-end restaurants here. Actually, it is not always available here. You can buy mutton." Barton bought this sheep to entertain Xiao Peng today. The main reason is that the mutton is expensive and can show his heart.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng nodded: "It is said that mutton is a by-product of wool. The wool industry in your country is underdeveloped. This also affects mutton."
Barton nodded and said, "Yes, there are too many cattle and too few sheep. Especially goats are raised less, because goats produce worse meat than sheep."
Xiao Peng smiled and explained: "But do you know? In Huaxia, people prefer goats. Huaxia has four big lamb soups, all of which use goats. The kebabs are also goats. Sheep are only used for hot pot."
Barton asked curiously, "Sheep has more meat than goats. Why do you like goats?"
Xiao Peng’s answer hit the nail on the head:
Goats taste better. Don’t throw away the bones of the sheep that have just been shaved. The soup is good for your body. Forget it, I’ll just do it.
After that, put the bones in the pot and start. Simmer the soup.
Emilia asked, "You mean the taste..."
Xiao Peng laughed: "It's the mutton smell. Eat mutton? The more mutton, the better it tastes. Because of this, people who don't like eating mutton hate it."
Patton shrugged: "The poor man's cow."
Goats have another name in the West, they are called ‘poor people’s cow’.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Yes, compared with cows, goats are indeed at a disadvantage in many aspects. For example, their small size and lively personality have led to a high metabolic rate and low meat production rate. Moreover, goat milk does not matter whether it is produced or protein. The content is not as good as milk, and because each head is small, it greatly increases the labor costs such as milking. For example, goat fat is stored near the internal organs instead of the fat and muscle like sheep and cows, resulting in the taste of goat meat. Dry, oh, and the smell of adult rams is terrible. Because of these shortcomings, goats are hard to find in the large-scale modern meat industry."
Speaking of this, Xiao Peng paused: "But! There are still more than 900 million goats in the world today! 90% of them are in non-industrial countries and regions. It is not unreasonable that they are so widely distributed!"
Button thought for a while: "That's what I said, I don't understand why Indians like to raise goats, isn't it better to raise cattle?"
Xiao Peng explained: "Goats provide humans with meat, milk, hair, and skins. In a non-industrial society, none of them will be wasted. Moreover, goats are small in size, and the largest species is only about 140 kilograms. The weight is more than 20 kilograms, which is really bad for industrial-scale breeding, but private free-range breeding is just the opposite. Killing such a sheep can be eaten by a family in a few days with very little waste. The most important thing is that goats are easy to eat. In breeding, goats can live on leaves and bark even if there is no grass. In extreme cases, they don’t even need to drink water--it can get the minimum amount of water from plants. And such worry-free livestock Huh?"
Xiao Peng was talking, but he was not idle in his hands, he was processing the hoofs of the sheep again, and saw that he removed the hoof shells of the hoofs, and then burned the surface with fire to remove the fine hairs on it.
Button was stunned: "Can you eat this sheep's hoof?"
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Barton, I suggest you ask your friends to come and eat together. Today I am interested. I will show you what it means to use nothing left of this sheep. What's wrong with the sheep's hoof Of course you can eat it! Let you try our traditional Chinese Uyghur and Hui cuisine-Hu spicy lamb hooves! You will definitely like to eat this, this is a very spicy dish."
Hearing that it was spicy, Patton became interested, Xiao Peng brought the backpack, and the spices he bought when he was in Los Angeles became useful. He directly used star anise, fennel, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried ginger, cooking wine, etc. to make a brine, and added a lot of fresh chilies, and red dried chilies, the cooked chili pepper and pepper onion just made Add them together, and put the lamb's hooves directly into the stew. I saw him holding his chopsticks to try it on time. When the tendons were simmered, Xiao Peng put the lamb's hooves on the plate, mixed them with dried chili powder and pepper, and topped it with the marinade just now: "Who wants to try it? Let me talk about it first, there are four in total, and there will be no more after eating."
Everyone looked at each other, everyone here has never had the experience of eating sheep's hooves, it looks weird, and no one knows whether it is delicious or not.
In the end, the first person to eat crab turned out to be Alessi. The reason is very simple. Xiao Peng said: "It is rich in collagen, but it is a good beauty food!" So Alessi was moved. , Picked up a sheep hoof and took a bite.
As a result, she couldn’t stop even after taking this bite. She ate a lamb's hooves three times and five times. It was so spicy that she took a cold breath, but she insisted on eating the whole lamb's hooves, even the sauce on her fingers. Don't want to waste, lick it cleanly.
After eating, Alesi said something amazing: "Xiao Peng, if you can make such delicacies every day, I can marry you today!"
Emilia and Xiao Peng: "..."
Is this the legendary "fire-proof, anti-theft and anti-girlfriend"?
