Pate de Campagne
Today Lyria learns how to make pate from Percival.
Lyria: Percival, let's get cooking!
Percival: Yes. The dish we'll be making is...
Percival: Pate de Campagne. It's a dish I learned from my mother.
Lyria: The fragrance of the herbs and the concentrated umami of the meat are making my mouth water!
Percival: Yes. My mother's cuisine was all delicious, but this is doubtlessly among her top three recipes.
Percival: Let's review how to make it. Begin by preparing the meat.
Percival: Before we begin mixing it in, it's important to remove the odor of the liver.
Lyria: You soak it in something, right? It was, uh...
Lyria: It was milk, right? I remember!
Percival: You've learned well, Lyria. You're truly acting like my vassal, handling the prep work this fastidiously.
Lyria: Hehehe, Lyria the vassal! I'm honored to receive your compliment.
Percival: Pour in enough milk to cover the liver and then let it sit for a while.
Percival: In the meantime we can prepare the meat so that it's easier to mix. Allow me to show you how it's done.
Lyria: All right! Here goes! I'll try my hardest to remember.
Lyria's cooking skill rose by 100!
Choose: Boiling water, definitely!
Lyria: Boiling water, definitely! I'm sure!
Percival: Hm... Dipping the liver in warm water or cold water could help remove some of the blood that gives liver its odor...
Percival: But if you use boiling water, the blood will congeal inside the liver. It's probably not the best choice for odor removal.
Lyria: Oh, I see. Sigh, I must've gotten confused...
Percival: Salt, vinegar, and sake are among the ingredients that could remove the odor, but this time let's soak the liver in milk.
Percival: Pour in enough milk to cover the liver and then let it sit for a while.
Percival: In the meantime we can prepare the meat so that it's easier to mix. Allow me to show you how it's done.
Lyria: All right! Here goes! I'll try my hardest to remember.
Lyria's cooking skill rose by 50!
Lyria: Sweet, sweet honey! I know it'll highlight the umami.
Percival: I've heard of using honey to tenderize meat...
Percival: But not to deodorize it.
Percival: It's best to learn the basics before conducting experiments or putting your own take on things. Let's use milk this time around.
Lyria: Mm hm... So it's milk we need.
Lyria: Got it!
Percival: Pour in enough milk to cover the liver and then let it sit for a while.
Percival: In the meantime we can prepare the meat so that it's easier to mix. Allow me to show you how it's done.
Lyria: All right! Here goes! I'll try my hardest to remember.
Lyria's cooking skill rose by 75!
