Chapter 475 Carl's Culinary Art
Compared to Draco, it was a disastrous kitchen performance.
Carl's magical cooking can be called an art. He waves his hands in the air, and ingredients and seasonings jump on his fingertips like musical notes.
First, he made a classic French dessert - macarons.
Used to entertain Miss Granger, the financial accountant, and the most important guest, Miss Harry, the Slytherin Princess.
He still remembered seeing Professor Snape's macarons made for Harry at his house, a healthy sugar-free version.
But today he is going to pursue deliciousness without considering health issues.
So he mixed almond powder, powdered sugar and egg whites together, stirred them evenly, squeezed them into small round cakes, and baked them in the oven.
Then, he filled it with cream of flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, and finally decorated it with colorful sugar beads.
When it was finally completed, the whole dessert was colorful, crispy, and had a soft and sweet filling, making it mouth-watering.
Next, he made a classic Italian pasta dish - spaghetti.
To feed his kitten, Kevin Lestrange doesn't like greasy food. He usually has a cup of hot coffee and a portion of pasta. He basically eats the same recipe for three meals a day.
However, compared to the dishes made by the house-elves according to recipes and using formulaic methods, Carl pursues more traditional Italian flavors.
He cooked the noodles, drained them, then used olive oil, garlic, tomato sauce and other seasonings to make a rich sauce, and then mixed the noodles and sauce thoroughly.
The whole dish has great color, aroma and taste. The noodles are chewy and the sauce is sweet and sour. Although there is nothing outstanding, it is enough to make people linger on it.
Just like the dishes my mother cooks, there is no need to pursue the ultimate deliciousness, what you eat is more about the familiar memory.
In addition, he also made a famous Chinese dish - Kung Pao Chicken. Needless to say, this dish was of course for himself.
He was really tired of eating Western food, especially British food. Today, as he had some free time, he had to treat himself well.
He diced the chicken and marinated it, then stir-fried it with peanuts, special dried chilies and other ingredients until cooked through.
This dish is spicy and delicious, the chicken is tender and juicy, and the peanuts are crispy and delicious. The spicy taste is the characteristic of this dish.
He also made a Japanese sushi roll.
He spread the rice on the seaweed, added cucumber strips, eel slices and other ingredients, then rolled it up, compacted it and cut it into small pieces.
The whole sushi roll is bright in color and has rich and varied tastes. It has the softness of rice and the freshness of seafood, making it a perfect staple food.
It's not because he doesn't want to eat rice, but because he considers that the equipment here is limited and Harry and the others are not very good at using chopsticks.
We had to settle for making sushi, which also made it easier to share the food.
What's more, if you want to make rice, you must make a braised pork or pork elbow and pour the bright and greasy soup on the rice.
Just thinking about shoveling it into your mouth makes your mouth water.
But now he could only think about it. Finally, he planned to make the food that Cedric and Draco, his two followers, liked.
Karl pulled out several huge iron skewers from under the kitchen table. The size of the skewers was comparable to the famous German two-handed sword.
It can already be used as a weapon, and the pieces of meat he chose are even more amazing, huge slices of beef thigh meat, which are thick and tender, with an attractive luster.
Anyone who has watched the Tom and Jerry cartoons will recognize this huge slice of beef at first glance.
Carl skillfully threaded the slices of meat onto the skewers, with each piece tightly connected to form a string of extremely large skewers of barbecue.
As the meat was roasted over a high fire, the fat on the skewers began to drip, making a sizzling sound.
He held a huge fork in his hand and gently moved the skewer of meat to ensure that every inch of the meat was grilled to perfection.
The seasoning is already prepared, except for the traditional black pepper and rosemary.
Carl thought for a moment, then picked up a bottle of chili powder and sprinkled it lightly on the skewers.
The spicy taste gradually seeps into the meat, interweaving with the meat aroma to form a unique aroma.
At the final stage of seasoning, he added some cumin, peppercorns and other spices to make the flavor of the entire kebab richer and more diverse.
As time goes by, the color of the skewers becomes darker and darker, and under the light of the fire, the caramel color on the surface is mouth-watering.
Carl took the skewer off the fire with a giant fork and set it aside to cool slightly.
Then he pulled the meat slices off the skewer with force and gently cut them open with a sharp Damascus kitchen knife, revealing the tender and juicy meat inside.
He didn't prepare any additional sauce and directly packed the meat slices and put them on the plate. He knew Cedric too well now.
The exquisite presentation of the dish no longer meant anything to him; only large amounts of calories could restore the hungry Hufflepuff's vitality.
As the last dish was packed, the whole cooking process came to an end, looking at the dishes neatly arranged in the insulated lunch box in front of me.
Carl couldn't help feeling a little proud. In fact, he quite liked cooking and the cooking process was actually very enjoyable.
This may be one of the most primitive forms of entertainment for humans. In ancient times, humans would do this after finally catching prey.
The meat was peeled off the carcass with a stone knife, skewered on simple branches, and roasted over a flame.
Of course, the whole process cannot be compared with modern cooking, but watching the meat slowly become cooked, the humans at that time must have felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Because it means that the food they obtain can continue to survive in the cruel natural world.
The warmth brought by fire and the sense of security brought by food may have been engraved into human DNA.
Looking at his own achievements, Carl now has this feeling, a sense of accomplishment after hard work, and a sense of security brought by food.
This pleasant feeling even gave him the idea that it would be nice if he could live quietly like this forever.
But this thought did not last long, and he denied it instantly. He knew very well that he was a person who could not sit still.
I also know what I want to do. Now the overall situation has unfolded, just like a typhoon that is beginning to gather strength.
It is no longer possible to stop whenever I want to. There is no regret in this world. There is nothing worth regretting.
Carl smiled helplessly, then waved his left hand lightly, and put the insulated lunch boxes into the ring.
He slowly climbed up the stairs at the side and headed outside. He really had no intention of just settling down in silence.
There’s nothing wrong with enjoying it a little longer, but of course, at the end, you still have to take away the freshly baked cake from the oven.
As for the cooking process, that is Karl Hohenzollern's secret.
