Categories     condiment

Time 30m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces proper beer or any brand English golden ale
24 ounces whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/4 cup bacon fat
1 medium yellow onion, small diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons thyme leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup grated Irish Cheddar
1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pot, bring the beer and milk to a simmer (180 degrees F).
  • While you are bringing the milk and beer to a simmer, in a separate sauce pot, melt the butter and bacon fat. Once melted, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add the flour to make the roux, making sure you stir continually so it gets nice and toasty, but doesn't burn to the bottom of the pot. De-glaze the pan with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar and thyme. By this time, the milk and beer should be ready to add to the roux. Add slowly, continually stirring to break up chunks and emulsify the mixture. Bring the mixture up to 185 degrees F and remove from the heat. Add the Irish Cheddar, blue cheese and salt and blend with an immersion blender (if you don't have an immersion blender, add the cheese while the mixture is still hot and whisk vigorously with a whisk to fully incorporate).

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 slices good quality bacon
Salt
1 pound short-cut whole-wheat or whole-grain pasta
8 thick slices beefsteak tomato
3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions or chives
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 slices good quality white bread, crusts trimmed
1 stick butter
A handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard (recommended: Colman's)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 generous tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup ale
1 cup beef or chicken stock
2 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp yellow Cheddar
2 bundles or about 4 cups loosely packed upland cress or watercress, trimmed and stemmed and washed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange 2 cooling racks on baking sheets and arrange the bacon on 1 of them. Bacon may also be baked on a slotted broiler pan. Bake the bacon until crisp, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Salt the water and add the pasta. Undercook the pasta by 1 to 2 minutes, until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • While the water comes to a boil, arrange the sliced tomatoes on the second baking rack. Sprinkle with chives, salt and pepper, to taste, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Roast them for about 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil when you remove tomatoes.
  • Process the bread in a food processor they become coarse bread crumbs. Transfer the bread crumbs to a small bowl.
  • Melt butter in sauce pot over medium heat. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 of the butter over the crumbs to moisten, then stir in the parsley. To the remaining butter in the sauce pot, add the garlic and stir for 1 minute, then add the hot sauce and mustard. Stir to combine, then sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and ale. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the stock and bring to a bubble. When the sauce thickens, stir in 2 cups of the cheese in a figure 8 motion and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the pasta with to the sauce and toss to coat. Spoon it into crocks or a casserole dish. Top with the bread crumbs and remaining cheese, then put it on the middle rack of the oven. Broil until bubbly and deeply brown on top, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Arrange a bed of cress leaves alongside portions of macaroni and cheese or individual crocks. Top the watercress with a thick slice of roasted tomato and crisscrossed bacon strips. Cover with a second slab of tomato and serve.
