Leftover Corsican Beef, some pasta and a veg for an easy midweek dinner. Never had rutabagas? They're a delicious root vegetable with a slightly sweet, slightly sharp taste. There will be enough vegetable to have again.
Corsican Beef Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutesleftover Corsican beef
1 1/4 cups pasta or 3.5 oz spaghetti
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Gently heat leftover beef in a saucepan. Serve over cooked pasta.
2 slices bacon, (1.5oz, 45gr)
1/2 onion
1/2 rib celery (eat the other half)
1 small - medium rutabaga
2 carrots
1 tbs butter
1 tbs sherry
Peel rutabaga (with a vegetable peeler - like a potato) and cut into pieces about 1/2" X 1/4" - you will need a big knife; it's a hard vegetable. Peel and thinly slice carrot. Peel and chop onion. Chop celery. Cut bacon into matchsticks.
Fry bacon in a medium sauce pan. When crisp remove and drain all but 1 tbs fat. Add onion, celery, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add rutabaga, carrots, 1/2 cup water and bacon. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 - 20 minutes.
Test for doneness - taste, should be like a cooked potato. When done, drain any remaining liquid, stir in butter, sherry and serve.
