Rithar Imnel:Name: Rithar Imnel
Description: A young dwarf, fond of baking.
Ingredients:
Cave Wheat Flour
Dwarven Butter
Whole Rat
Concept: Fresh, juicy rat, baked in crunchy pastry. The pastry keeps the rat warm for a while, so it's perfect for eating on the go!
Ingredients:
Cave Wheat Flour
Dwarven Butter
Whole Rat
Process:
Add diced butter and a pinch of salt to flour in bowl. Rub butter into flour with hands, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add just enough cold water to form a ball- careful, too much and the pastry will get soggy!
Cover the bowl with a cloth and place in icebox.
Now, prepare the rat. Remove the skin (some people prefer shaving the rat and leaving the skin on, but I prefer skinless), then slice the meat from the bones. Chop the meat into rough chunks, then season with salt and pepper. (Set aside the bones and unused organs for making stock).
Now, take the chilled pastry and roll it out into a circle, about 5mm thick. Place the rat meat in the centre, then fold pastry upwards from both sides and pinch together. Use extra pastry and a knife to make the pasty resemble a rat, which always brings a smile to people's faces. Finally, brush the pasty with a little melted butter, and bake in a pre-heated oven for 40-50 minutes.
Grobo ThnideerName: Grobro Thnideer
Description: A big dwarf with big dreams.
Ingredients:
Plump Helmet
Cow's Milk
Cow's Udder
Concept: Six savory meatballs sprinkled with curds. Served with a refreshing cup of whey to cleanse the palette.
Ingredients:
1 plump helmet cap
1 cow udder
3 cups of cow milk
Process: Grind the udder into very small chunks, and grind the plump helmet cap into a thick paste. Mix the meat chunks and mushroom paste in bowl with half a cup of milk and half a teaspoon of salt. Form the mixture into six meatballs of equal size, and place them on a small metal pan. Broil them under medium heat until their outsides are thoroughly browned.
While the meatballs are broiling, pour the remaining milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil at medium-high heat, then let it boil for another two minutes. Stir occasionally while you watch the curds form. Let it cool before pouring it through a cheesecloth to separate the curds and whey.
Once the meatballs are done, sprinkle the curds on top and serve immediately with a cup of whey.
