No Jack Daniels though (If you haven't seen Epic Meal Time, open a new tab and search on YouTube Epic Meal Time and LYFAO)
So, I figured it out tonight at work....The Secret Sauce they put on Big Macs. Yes the Big Mac Sauce except, mine was pretty dang good. So this is what I did:
Made 1 cup of Mayo: 1 egg yolk to 1 cup of oil, a little Dijon mustard as emulsifier, tad bit of water and season with salt.
A few spoonfuls of Hunt's Chili Sauce
Mix together and BAM! Secret Sauce for the Big Mac
And that's it, I'm the Sauce Boss.
Theres one for the extern manual! And moving on....
Overall today was good, I love learning new things and I did quite the amount of learning.
So we got in a case of baby beets and they were bunched up and had beautiful greens on them. Se we were trying to utilize the whole beet. Save the beet itself, save the greens and we are left with the stalks. What do you do with beet stalks? Well....you pickle them of course! So today I a lesson in pickling, something I didn't do much of in Garde Mange. So I was given this, 2 parts acid to 1 part neutral in addition a sweetener of some sort to balance the acid and spices, herbs, etc. So armed with a ratio, I was let free to let my own creative juices to flow and figure this one out.
So here's what I did with my golden beet stalks:
- 1 quart apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 quart water
- 2 ea granny smith apple and D' anjou Pear
- Tbsp Whole Cloves
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
- 1 pound brown sugar
I was going more for an apple cider like taste, before I stashed it away in the cooler it was pretty tart. This might have quite the acid flavor...I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, hopefully it mellows out a tad.
Here's what I did with my red beet stalks:
- 1/2 quart sherry vinegar
- 1/2 quart tarragon vinegar
- 1/2 quart water
- Peel from 3 oranges and the left overs from segmenting them
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
- Tbsp Juniper Berries
- 1 pound of clove honey
Now this one was on the sweeter side but it had a nice blend of flavors from the two vinegars. I'm interested to see how this one comes out.
If both work well and taste good, they could very well accompany the each other with one being tart and the other being sweet.
Now tomorrow I also have about a 1/2 of a 1/3rd pan full of red beat stalks. I'm going to do some investigating and seeing if its possible to pickle mango....if so I'm going to try it.
But that's all for today. A final thought, France is on my mind, like I really really really really want to go!
