Meat: Beef, Pork, Poultry, Lamb

Pork Spareribs, Rubbed (Old Fashioned Taste) (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Use a glass-baking pan or counter top oven with a rack lifting the meat vertically. Racking is optional. Fill pan with a continuous layer of water. Use less water if not using a lifting rack. Do not allow the water to touch the meat. First, place the ribs with the fat side up. Score the fat side with a sharp knife exposing some of the bone and meat. Season a full rib rack fat side with 1 to 1-1/3 teaspoon of Sir Alfred John Rib Marinate. Scoring will allow the seasoning to enter into the meat. Turn rib over (on the rack or in the water) with the fat side down. Season the topside with 2 teaspoon of Sir Alfred John English Rib Marinate.
Marinade for 1 to 3 hours (optional) or immediately place in preheated oven at 350°F heat. Cover with a lid or foil to seal. Cook for 1 hour 55 minutes. Eat as is or continue with below suggestions. If eating as is, keep the meat covered for about 5 to 7 minutes to relax the meat.

Surprise Meat Pie (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Add seasoned or plain bread crumbs 3/8 cup to ½ cup to every pound. Let meat and seasons marinade for about 5 to 7 minutes to meld flavours. Mix meat completely. Add milk to meat that is too hard and not bouncy if not to preferred consistency.
Place 2/3rd of the meat in the pan and keep 1/3rd to the side to be used for its topping. Make a hole keeping 1 to 3 inches equally proportioned along the bottom and sides, similar to a piecrust.
Add a mixture of your favorite ingredients into the holed out center. Include precooked rice, vegetables, potatoes, cheese, or creative a recipe using your favorite complements. Add flour, egg, and/or cheese to thicken the mix so to solidify the ingredients and for easy slicing. Cover the top with the remaining meat. Press the meat down to seal the pans edges.

Cook in oven uncovered (crisper top) or covered (less crisp top) at 3500F. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes (1 to 2 pounds), 40 to 60 minutes (3 pounds), 1 to 1 ¼ hour (4 pounds) 1 to 1 ½ hour (5 pounds).

Vegetable, Potatoes, Eggs

Eggplant Marinade: Italy (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Sir Alfred Johns Favorite Eggplant Recipe
Peel skin of eggplant, if desired. Slice the eggplant thinly and place on towel evenly for each layer to remove water content. Lightly sprinkle salt directly on each layer of eggplant. When the layering is complete, compress the eggplant with a flat weighted object to assist in gravity squeezing removing some of the water from the eggplant into the towel. Let stand for about 2 to 4 hours. Layer the towels and eggplant if needed.
Separately mix 4 teaspoon Sir Alfred John All Purpose Marinade and Rub, 1 red bell pepper cut in cubes, 1 tablespoon chunked or grinded garlic, ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, in a small airtight glass jar or dish. Taste to adjust, if needed.
Cut eggplant in strips of two to four. Find the correct sized jar or dish to cover the eggplant completely with the oil mix. Add extra virgin olive oil, if needed
Place in refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.


Potato, Sliced Potato (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Add butter of choice to a large cast iron pan. A few tablespoons of water in the butter help steam and soften potatoes. Cook over medium high heat. Cut the potato into slices with potato skin on. Add sliced onion and a mixture of Sir Alfred John Egg and Potato Seasoning and optionally All Purpose Marinade to taste.
Cook until golden brown. Do not turn regularly, as the potato will crumble when softened.

Egg Bread Soufflé (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Scramble eggs and milk (two small egg to ¼ cup of milk or one large egg to ¼ cup of milk), and lightly add Sir Alfred John Egg and Potato Seasoning. Use 1/16th oz for every two small eggs. Optionally cook crumbled or sliced pork sausage, drain and set aside. Use Italian, breakfast, or any favorite flavour of sausage.
Use a whisk or blender to soften the egg. Add butter to flavour. In baking pan, add one slice of cube cut bread to each one Jumbo egg. Add sausage and cheese to flavour. Use cheddar, mozzarella, or any favorite cheese flavour. If using white cheddar use less since it is a stronger cheese. Try combining cheese flavours to enhance the experience.

Place in refrigerator ½ hours allowing egg to absorb into the bread. Optionally cover the baking pan and cook at 325 °F for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Insert and remove a knife from the center. If the knife is dry, the eggs are firm.

Kettle Stews, Soups, Sauces

Hungarian Hamburger Goulash (from the Sir Alfred John Cookbook)

Lightly add 1 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to coat a cast iron pan. Place ground beef loosely, add 1-½ to 3 teaspoons of Sir Alfred John Spogg with Tomato to every pound of meat. Adding extra seasoning at this stage is needed because drain the excess oil removes some of the seasoning. At this stage, you are flavouring the meat.

Finely chop ¼ to ½ onions to every pound of beef. Cook beef until lightly brown over medium heat. Continue to cut down and separate the beef as it is cooking.

Drain most of the oil from the pan, leaving some behind for sauce flavoring. In same pan, or larger pot to accommodate the noodles, add 8 ounces of diced tomato, 8 ounces of tomato sauce for each pound of meat.

Add diced green bell pepper, to desired taste, about 1 teaspoon per pound for mild green pepper flavor, more or less if desired. Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon Hungarian Sweet Paprika for every pound of meat. Optionally add diced red, orange, and/or yellow pepper of choosing and fresh oregano to taste.

Cook for a least one-hour using medium-low-to-medium heat to meld flavors cooking down the sauce.

Add precooked and drained small elbow macaroni to the sauce. For meatier goulash, use about 1 pound of macaroni to 3 pounds beef. Simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes. The noodles will absorb the sauce. For extra tomato sauce when serving, add extra tomato sauce volume over the 8 ounce recommended.

Serve with fresh bread and butter.
