How to cook beef olives?
I bought these at the coop. They are ready made but have no gravy or sauce etc. No cooking instructions either! Just raw meaty beef olives. Please tell me how to cook them! I think I oven cook with gravy but its been a long time...
Answers:
This is what I learned:
Place in casserole with sliced carrots and chunks of potatoes. Add water (not sure on how much, not quite enough to cover is what I go with, the boiling increases the volume) and cover casserole.
The ones I get come with cooking instructions, so I don't need to remember. I think it's a moderate heat (~175*) for 45 minutes.
The water will boil and cook the veg. If it's not boiling, turn up the heat. Check the veg at 45 minutes, you'll get an idea how much longer, if any, you need to leave it.
Very carefully, I think.
just oven cook, the stuffing bit shold keep the meat moist so you shouldn't need gravy (yuk)
You do need gravy, put them in an oven proof dish pour gravy over and cook at about gas mak 6 for about half an hour. They def need the gravy or they will become to dry and the meat will be tough.
Try the following
Beef olives in peppercorn sauce
1 pack of beef for beef olives
4 tsp wholegrain mustard
450g/1lb pack herby pork and beef sausages
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, cut into wedges
2 x 25g/1oz packets creamy pepper sauce
225ml/8fl oz beef stock
Method
1. Cut the beef olives in half widthways and flatten each slightly with a rolling pin between some plastic film. Spread a thin layer of mustard over one side of each beef olive.
2. Prick the sausages with a fork and wrap a beef olive around each one. Secure with a cocktail stick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the beef olives for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently until browned. Remove and set aside. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, stirring often.
4. Sprinkle the sauce mix over the onion and stir in 570ml/1 pintwater. Stir in the stock. Bring to the boil, return the beef olives to the pan and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Season to taste and serve with creamy mash
