Baby Squid

Today we found for the first time fresh baby squid at our super market. I bought two pieces to try. After cleaning and slicing the baby squid it was simply pan fried in olive oil and sprinkled with some sea salt and black pepper. The baby squid was very fresh and tender. Looking already forward to buy some more.

Ragout Fin for New Year eve

For the New Year evening I tried the first time Ragout Fin. The veal meat was cooked with a lot of vegetables which makes a nice veal stock. This time I used the first time our pressure cooker to make the stock - very fast and the stock was very rich and tasty. The stock was then used for the white sauce made with flour and butter, mushrooms, asparagus, pies, and cubed veal.
