Balti curry

A balti or bāltī gosht (urdu: بالٹی گوشت, hindi: बाल्टी गोश्त) is a type of curry served in a thin, pressed-steel wok called a "balti bowl". the name may have come from the metal dish in which the curry is cooked, rather than from any specific ingredient or cooking technique. balti curries are cooked quickly using vegetable oil rather than ghee, over high heat in the manner of a stir-fry, and any meat is used off the bone. this combination differs sharply from a traditional one-pot indian curry which is simmered slowly all day. balti sauce is based on garlic and onions, with turmeric and garam masala, among other spices.balti gosht is eaten in north india and some parts of pakistan, as well as other parts of the world, such as great britain. the food seems to have arrived in england in birmingham in 1971; sources suggest that it might have originated from baltistan in northern pakistan, but the exact origin is still unclear.

Bouillabaisse

Bouillabaisse (french: [bu.ja.bɛs]; occitan: bolhabaissa, bullabessa [ˌbuʎaˈβajsɔ / ˌbujaˈbajsɔ]) is a traditional provençal fish stew originating in the port city of marseille. the french and english form bouillabaisse comes from the provençal occitan word bolhabaissa, a compound that consists of the two verbs bolhir (to boil) and abaissar (to reduce heat, i.e., simmer). bouillabaisse was originally a stew made by marseille fishermen, using the bony rockfish which they were unable to sell to restaurants or markets. there are at least three kinds of fish in a traditional bouillabaisse, typically red rascasse (scorpaena scrofa); sea robin; and european conger. it can also include gilt-head bream, turbot, monkfish, mullet, or european hake. it usually also includes shellfish and other seafood such as sea urchins, mussels, velvet crabs, spider crab or octopus. more expensive versions may add langoustine or dublin bay prawn (norway lobster), though this was not part of the traditional dish made by marseille fishermen. vegetables such as leeks, onions, tomatoes, celery, and potatoes are simmered together with the broth and served with the fish. the broth is traditionally served with a rouille, a mayonnaise made of olive oil, garlic, saffron, and cayenne pepper on grilled slices of bread. what makes a bouillabaisse different from other fish soups is the selection of provençal herbs and spices in the broth; the use of bony local mediterranean fish; the way the fish are added one at a time, and brought to a boil; and the method of serving. in marseille, the broth is served first in a soup plate with slices of bread and rouille, then the fish is served separately on a large platter (see image at top); or, more simply, as julia child suggests, the fish and broth are brought to the table separately and served together in large soup plates.

Brisket

Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. the beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts, though the definition of the cut differs internationally. the brisket muscles include the superficial and deep pectorals. as cattle do not have collar bones, these muscles support about 60% of the body weight of standing or moving cattle. this requires a significant amount of connective tissue, so the resulting meat must be cooked correctly to tenderise it. according to the random house dictionary of the english language, second edition, the term derives from the middle english brusket which comes from the earlier old norse brjósk, meaning cartilage. the cut overlies the sternum, ribs, and connecting costal cartilages.

Main

Dim sum
