Frankly speaking, [Looking Up at the Starry Sky], apart from its slightly worse appearance, is not actually a completely dark dish.
At least, the ones in Hogwarts Castle are not the kind of soulless, unpalatable garbage.
As a chef with a professional bottom line, Elena will not deliberately waste precious ingredients just to punish others - in fact, if you ignore the appearance, this pizza called Stargazy pie actually tastes pretty good.
Not bad.
Compared with the roughest original version, "Looking Up at the Stars" produced by Hogwarts Kitchen has optimized many cooking details, and Elena thinks that it will definitely not be inferior in taste and texture.
The first is to deal with the fishy smell, which is the most overlooked aspect of most British cuisine.
After removing the fish bones and internal organs, the house elves picked out the fishy threads of each big herring and washed and soaked them in warm ginger water several times to remove as much as possible the fishy threads that most affected the eating experience.
fishy smell.
Different from the backward British cooking methods, Elena uses the cooking techniques of British Michelin restaurants decades later.
If you peel off the top layer of dough, you can see that from the tail to the head of the fish, it has been cut into separate layers by a horizontal knife, but overall, the skin and flesh of the fish still maintain their integrity.
, did not become fragmented.
After mincing the shrimps and scallops, fill the gaps between the fish with a filling of water, lake salt, egg white, ginger and green onion juice and sesame oil, and then roll each piece of fish inward into small rolls to form a hinge-like fish.
appearance.
As for the subsequent steps, there is not much difference. Sprinkle the remaining coriander and onion foam in the kitchen in the gaps, then spread the fried bacon and eggs, wrap them in the dough brushed with egg wash, and bake directly.
That's it.
"Hey, what are you doing standing still? Come and try it."
Elena looked around the dead Hogwarts auditorium with a smile, walked briskly through the corridor, and walked towards the unoccupied table next to the staff seat, speaking in a voice that everyone could hear.
A clear voice whispered softly.
"Shrimp and tomato spaghetti, pan-fried mustard lamb chops, pan-fried large scallops, roast beef Wellington, cheese chicken steak, Parma ham, sirloin steak, Burgundy red wine braised beef, Scotch eggs, Swiss chicken wings,
Smoked salmon, borscht, cream of mushroom soup, Caesar salad, garlic scallops..."
In the quiet auditorium, the girl's singing-like voice echoed. A new dish name appeared almost every step he took, and delicious dishes gradually appeared in everyone's mind with Elena's voice.
Regardless of whether they have eaten it before or not, in the overwhelming bombardment of dish names, they can always cover several delicacies that they have seen before. According to thousands of years of ancient experience, there are no picky eaters in this world, only those who have not yet felt it.
Hungry people.
Is this...the devil?!
All the teachers and students in the school looked at Elena with extremely complicated eyes. Although their eyes still expressed resistance, their bodies, which had been hungry for an afternoon, made honest and unsatisfactory sounds of hunger.
At this moment, they finally understood what the power of the Hogwarts chef was. It was a terrifying existence that could make people hover on the edge of life and death even without using magic.
Gulu~
Gulu~Gulu~
Gradually, a faint sound of swallowing was heard in the Hogwarts Great Hall, as well as sporadic stomach growls.
"No matter, let's give it a try first."
Draco Malfoy gritted his teeth, faced the stares of more than a dozen dead fish eyes in front of him, mustered up the courage to pick up the knife and fork, cut off a piece of "Looking Up at the Stars" and stuffed it into his mouth. No matter what, he couldn't waste his eldest sister.
The food was cooked first, and... I was really hungry, so I had to give it a try even if it tasted terrible.
etc……
This taste...
Malfoy, who originally ate the [Stargazing Pie] with the thought of generously serving charity, was suddenly startled. A look of confusion and happiness appeared on the young shota's face. Isn't this too delicious?!
The unique tender and smooth meat of Hogwarts herring is mixed with the aroma of fried eggs and the thickness of bacon. The bone spurs of each fish have been carefully removed. When you bite it, you will be filled with delicious and fragrant fish, with a rich aroma.
It burst out instantly, and with the seasoning of a little green onion and ginger juice, a kind of warmth gradually flowed through the whole body...
No! It’s not just fish, bacon, eggs and bread.
There are more and richer things, as colorful and layered as the countryside under the stars!
Draco Malfoy suddenly opened his eyes, and while recalling the beauty of the bite just now, he used a knife and fork to open the gap in the dough, and looked carefully into the "Looking Up at the Starry Sky Pie" through the gap.
.
Under the golden egg pancake, each fish body is like a rolled-up book page, and the gaps are filled with chopped onions, shrimps, and scallops. In addition, between the fish, there are
Spread with diced carrots cut into small pieces, plump corn kernels, green scallions and coriander foam dotted in the thin cheese layer...
"Oh my god, this, this... is simply a work of art!"
Draco Malfoy's eyes gradually widened, his throat rolled, and he swallowed hard again.
Then, without any hesitation, the boy dropped the knife and fork in his hand, brought the whole plate of fish heads in front of him, stretched out his hands to pick up the large piece of "Starry Sky Pie", and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Got up.
Gulu~
The Slytherin students who were still a little hesitant glanced at the little Malfoy who was eating particularly deliciously. They swallowed involuntarily again, looked at each other, and picked up the knives and forks to try tentatively - as a public
The lounge is in the underwater college, and the Slytherin students are actually not that resistant to dead fish eyes.
“Yum! So delicious! Just amazing!”
"This taste and texture, you won't get tired of it even if you eat it for a month!"
"It smells so good! How can it be so delicious?!
"I didn't expect those big fish swimming outside the common room to be so delicious?!"
"Zi Liu... bah bah bah..."
Soon, the entire Slytherin House table became the first place to fall.
In the complicated eyes of the students from the other three colleges, they saw that the group of heavy-tasting Slytherin wizards quickly began to fight for the "Fish Head Pies" on the table, with a look on everyone's face.
A touch of terrifying feverish happiness.
Even the horrible dead fish heads that were once disliked by people have become the most popular parts.
Click, click, click...
The fish heads looking up to the sky were easily broken off. After being fried, the fish heads are crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. Mixed with the texture of the fish pie, it is the best and most appropriate embellished crispy seasoning, which just fills up the filling.
The defect of fish patty being too soft.
Witnessing the fanatical atmosphere of Slytherin House next door, the students of the other three houses who were silently making eye-to-eye with the [Stargazing School] in front of them also began to gradually waver - not to mention the series of words in Elena's mouth.
The names of the dishes that haven't stopped yet, and just the lively dining atmosphere next to it make people a little hungry.
"Look...those Slytherins, they..."
"Don't be fooled by the illusion, their taste has always been very strange..."
"But...it looks really delicious?"
"How about? Let's try it too, I'm so hungry..."
"No, no, no, I will never eat this! It's so scary, I'll have nightmares at night!"
"Wow! This tastes really good!"
"No matter what you say, looking at those eyes, I have no appetite at all..."
"Then just give me the one you have in front of me. It would be a waste if you don't eat it anyway."
"..."
In less than a minute, the atmosphere in the entire Hogwarts auditorium became lively again.
All in all, if you can overcome the dozens of dead fish eyes staring at you and the slightly cracked fish lips, and muster up the courage to cut off a piece of pie and take a bite, this is indeed a kind of experience.
Very delicious fish pie.
Although there are still a small number of children who are still stubborn at the end, but with the fall of most people, this large-scale true fragrance atmosphere will sooner or later be infected with everyone, and it is only a matter of time before they join the "true fragrance" camp...
.
Standing at the cooking table next to the faculty and staff seats, Elena glanced at the cheerful auditorium with satisfaction, lowered her head and glanced at the ingredients at hand, with a meaningful smile on her lips - the bait had been bitten.
, next is the flaming hell.
Only when you feel hope and are full of longing for beauty can you realize what true despair and helplessness are...
