Basic Hollandaise
Saturday 6 February 2021
Lockdown Day 317
We have been staying in Sanparks chalets or tented camps in various National Parks for over a month now. The accommodation is very comfy and clean and generally well appointed for short stays in a game reserve. We have only had an oven in one place so far so you have to cook everything on a 2 plate stove. In cabins that have electricity you generally get a microwave, kettle and toaster. A 2-sleeper room literally has only 2 of everything; crockery, cutlery and glassware. There's always only one sink so you have to rinse your dishes in a roasting pan or salad bowl. Due to Covid regulations (?) the places are not serviced. And we are cooking all our meals; no restaurants. Sometimes we just do a quick braai and salad or sometimes we cook up a storm. Today we cooked Eggs Benedict.
1. English muffins from scratch, and they required three different risings before cooking. ( Handy because they are cooked on a griddle like crumpets, Welsh cakes, pita breads or rotis.)
2. Hollandaise Sauce over a double boiler.
3. Poached eggs done in silicon muffin cups.
4. Fried bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms.
We had a LATE brunch but we had fun. Along with laundry done in the hand basin it feels like we have been working all day.
