I was thinking about the French play Cyrano de Bergerac by Rostand. At one point Cyrano visits Ragueneaux's pastry shop for a secret meeting with Roxane, his beloved. The baker has put the recipes for his delectable treats to poetry. This got me thinking and waxing poetic. Here's my recipe for beef stew. It might be fun to try this with barbequed ribs or maybe lemon meringue pie! Don't hesitate to add your favorite recipe in verse.
Hearty Beef Stew
To make a stew has little merit:
Slice an onion, chop a carrot,
Mince the garlic, sear the beef
Add some thyme, a sweet bay leaf.
Salt and cayenne make it glow.
A pint of wine, the best you know.
A little broth, tomato paste,
Stir around, now have a taste.
Braise the whole on low, low heat.
Enjoy with bread, a hearty treat.
