Chefs always make it look so easy! They grab a handful of this, a bit of
that, a pinch of this and a dash of that. They fling it in a pan; flip it
around a few times, slide it onto a plate, add a little garnish, and voila
- dinner is served. Can it really be that easy? Well you have decided to
give find out for yourself.
After eating at your favorite restaurant for years, you have developed a
comfortable relationship with the wait staff. You have discussed many of
the items on the menu with them, and now you have decided to try to
replicate one for yourself. To date, however, your attempts have failed.
Your version of the dish is not awful; it is just not nearly as tasty.
Something is missing, but you just cannot tell what it is.
For one thing, the whole preparation process is not nearly as easy for you
as it is when the chef does it, but you are getting better at that. You
have been over the ingredient list several times, and more than a couple
of the waiters have recited the ingredients for you. Do they leave
something out on purpose? You'll find it! If there is a secret ingredient,
it's just a matter of time before you stumble onto it.
So, one morning you are listening to a story on the radio, and they are
discussing a new proposed law requiring restaurants to list the caloric
value of each meal on their menu. The radio host comments that no one
would ever eat out again; because, "Can you imagine the number of calories
in that stick of butter that goes into every dish?" Then it hits you! It's
the butter! That's what makes everything taste so good! It's been the
butter all along.
Now as you savor each melt in your mouth bite of your restaurant
recreation it occurs to you that even though you have accurately recreated
this dish, maybe it really did taste a little better before you knew how
many calories it actually contained!
To get you started, here is a copycat version of the Cracker Barrel Fried
Apple recipe:
Ingredients needed:
* 6 large tart apples, (Granny Smith preferred)
* 1 ts lemon juice (fresh is better)
* 1/4 c bacon drippings
* 1/4 c brown sugar; packed firm
* 1/8 ts salt
* 1/8 ts nutmeg
* 1 ts cinnamon
Instructions:
Peel and core the apples. Slice apples into eighths. In a large non-stick
skillet, render bacon drippings. Place the apples evenly over the bottom
of the skillet. Sprinkle with lemon juice, brown sugar, and salt (in that
order). Cover skillet and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, or until
apples become tender and juicy. Uncover skillet, then sprinkle with
cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir mixture well. Simmer for a few minutes until the
pan juices begin to thicken. Serve hot!
