difficulty. Foods which have little moisture, such as
platters of food, should have the surface moistened
prior to heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which
are to be braised, should be reduced to about two
thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If
necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or
oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
part of a diet.
1. Place the butter and chopped onion into the bowl,
cover and braise.
approx. 1-2 min.
2. Add the vegetables to the bowl. Add the bones, the
streaky bacon and the barley, and fill the bowl with the
meat stock. Season with pepper, cover and cook.
1. 9-11 min.
2. 17-21 min.
3. Chop the frankfurters into small pieces and heat with
the rest of the soup for the last five minutes.
4. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes after it has cooked.
Take the bones out just before you serve the soup.
