My first experience with Viande En Gros (Part 2) by Louise
There is a proverb that says, "Do not make promises, if you are unable to hold them!"
Well, that's not my case! I told you that I would keep you informed in a previous blog to tell you whether it is true that the meat ordered online at Viande En Gros is fresh, excellent and completely different from the one bought in supermarkets and if it was worth The cost? I can confirm that, that's right!
Finally, the delivery man arrives, unpacks my order and checks with me if this is what I ordered and makes sure that the meat is of quality. He leaves by carrying the box allowing the transport of meat from his refrigerated truck to my kitchen. So I find myself without the big cartons of packaging that we have to get rid of ourselves. What less constraint and what good ecological initiative. This happened exactly as it is written on the online sales site! Wow, they're really professional! But for a moment! I'll take the time to smell the meat and make sure it has a nice color anyway! No doubt, everything is perfect! I ordered 3 kilos of ground beef and a nice filet of sweet grain calf. The minced meat has a nice red color and contains almost no fat. This is a real difference with what is usually found elsewhere. The extra-lean appellation is not usurped. The whole mignon is in a vacuum packaging. It looks nice and fresh. I put it all directly on a shelf at the bottom of the refrigerator.
The next day, I'm ready! The first thing I do, I take off my jewellery and I tie my hair. I wash my hands and dry them with a clean cloth. I take my cutting board for meat only. I start by making eight nice chopped beef patties that I put in a closed container and in the fridge. I prepare tomatoes, cheese, salad, pickles,... all the ingredients for good burgers and a good meal with my spouse's sister and two children I get for dinner. With the rest of the ground beef, I want to make spaghetti sauce. I return the ground beef, an onion and garlic in a frying pan until it is no longer pink. I put all this in a crock pot with vegetables, which I have the secret, previously washed and diced. I enclose the tomatoes by going gradually and stirring. I add a few spices and half a cup of red wine. I cook the whole thing on very soft fire for several hours. Once finished, I put the sauce in individual containers that I freeze for the preparation of my lunch boxes. Amazing how with 3 Kg of good ground beef, I managed to make a Hamburger meal for 4 people and 8 servings of spaghetti sauce. I then tackle the filet mignon of veal. I'm taking the piece out of the vacuum packaging. The meat is very rosy and fresh. I cut it into steak that I pack individually in freezer bags. It makes me ten beautiful pieces at a reasonable price that allows me to offer veal.
I've done my job as a pro! My containers are all stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer. I'm proud of myself! It took me a little effort but there, everything is ready to be prepared and I took a lot of pleasures in my kitchen. The prepared meats will help me quickly cook real food for my lunches.
I'm not leaving you on these last words! Oh, no! I will continue to keep you informed to tell you if it is true that the meat is fresh and excellent!
See you again
