BACHOY 6 Servings Bachoy is the quintessential Iloilo dish, said to have originated in the market of La Paz, Iloilo by a butcher named Deco, who wanted to make use of the less popular, inexpensive cuts of meat. Thus the original recipe contained pork liver, pancreas, heart, stomach, tripe, spleen and kidney. Today's more modern version eliminates some of these butcher trimmings but a good, rich broth is still a must.

How To Make Stocks

H

omemakers and cooks of old

knew the wisdom of the long, slow process o f simmering stocks and broth, the best way, they say, to bring out the fu ll fla vors of ingredients in their cooking. No self-respecting cook w as w ithou t a stockpot kept o n the back burner. Into this s he threw in a variety of fresh meat

scraps and choice vege.tables, cleaned carefully in cold water, then set to simmer for hours. She always had this magic brew handy for a variety of dishes. Much o f the cookin g in today's households no w depend on quicker methods, using bou illon cu bes, condensed broth, flavor granules and other stock substitu tes. The impression is that s tock-making is something best left in the hands of professional chefs and cooks.

Whi le stock substitutes h ave their p lace in today's fast-paced lives, nothi ng

rea lly comes quite close to dishes cooked w ith the traditio nal stock, a flavored liquid tha t is key to making good soups, sauces and other dishes. This is the reason the French refer to stocks asfond, the foundation o r basis for many d assic and modem dishes. The thought of preparing a stock may seem intimidating but the procedures are quite simple although they take a lot of time. By using fresh high-quality ingredients and following these steps, even the ordi nary homemaker or cook can elevate the level of her cooking with the use of stocks always at hand. In this cookbook, some recipesca11 for the use of various kinds of stocks. Here we present basic stock recipes which one can use w ith confidence in a variety of dishes. TlPS FO R MAKING STOCKS tI Use cold water to start the s tock. Starting with cold water ensures that as the water hea ts, the blood and o ther impurities in the ingredients d issolve then coagulate and rise to the surface where one can skim them. Also make sure all surfaces of the bones are im-

mersed in water because fl avors Carulot be extracted fro m bones not covered in water. y" Skim the stock fre quently. The fats and impurities that rise to the surface of the s tock duri ng cooking must be skimmed. Othenvise the stock will be d oudy. V Do not a dd salt to th e l iquid . Reducing the li quid co ncentrates the fl avor, and if there is salt, the stock will be too salty. V Strain the stock. Volhen cooking is finished, let the stock settle a bit then skim all fats and impurities on the surface. Separate the liquids from the solids, being careful not to d isturb the solids while ladling out the stock to a metal container. Strain the remaining stock through severallayers of cheesecloth. y" Cool the stock. Keep the stock in a metal, not p lastic, container to p revent spoiling. Pl astic containers insulate and delay the cooling process. Stir the stock freq uently to speed up the cooling

pro=s. y" Degrease the stock. Stocks can keep in the refrigerator up to a week and in the freezer for months. Before re-heating the stock for use in a dish, lift off any fat that has congealed on the surface. RECIPES FOR MAKING STOCKS

1. Before doing the recipe,

read it through from beginning to end, taking note of the preparations of ingredients and the kitchen utensils mentioned in the procedures.

2. Have all the ingredients prepared as directed and ready to use before starting to cook. An exception would be cheese to be used for topping or serving. Grate the cheese just before using.

3. Take note of the time elements. Some recipes require marinating or soaking of the ingredients overnight. Make sure you allot enough time for these.

4.

Wash all fresh produce well before using. nus is especially true for greens such as lettuce and knffgkollg which may have picked up some dirt from handling in the market. To be on the safe side, you may want to disinfect leafy vegetables that are to be eaten raw by soaking them in a solution of water and one or two drops of potassium permanganate solution.

5. Use the proper measuring utensils. Measuring cups for liquids such as milk and water are different from measuring cups for solids such as flour and cocoa powder. Those for liquids have pouring lips \vhile those fo r solids have straight edges.

6.

When measuring 591ids such as flour, spoon the ingredient into a dry measuring cup until it heaps over the top. Level off the ingredient w ith a straight edged spatula w ithout tapping or shaking the measuring cup.

7.

Watch that mixtures that are supposed to be simmered do not reaCh the boiling point. Boiling may toughen meat instead of tenderizing it.

8. Chilies such assilillg labllyo have oily elements that may sting the eye. Make sure you wash and dry your hands well after handling these ingredients or wear protective gloves when cooking. 9. Some redpes call for draining and reserving the liquid. Make sure you drain the liquid into II bowl and not into a sink where it will literally go dO\vn the drain and be lost from you forever.

1D.

When using dried herbs, it is better to add them towards the end or in the middle of the cooking time. The flavors do not hold well in too long cooking.

11.

When marinating or tenderizing meat, do not add salt in the beginning as this tends to dry and toughen the meat. Season with salt towards the end of the cooking process.

12. When cooking w ith vinegar, do not stir the mixture or cover the pot until the vinegar has boiled, to prevent having the 'raw-' taste of vinegar in the dish.· TempeMltur88: Conversilll Rates O....... fIIIrI...h
