Marsala with mushroom sauce for rib steak

This evening we craved something wholesome and bought a couple of good looking rib steak. Usually 150 grm is about the right amount per person.

We thought we would try a new sauce and mushroom sounds just the ingredient for an autumn evening.

Ingredients:
1 shallot thinly sliced
150 g mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
25 g butter
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
500 ml stock
150 ml Marsala wine

We fried some shallots, garlic and sliced Chestnut mushrooms in some butter and olive oil. Once it has been frying for about 5 minutes, add a tablespoon of plain flour and mix well. Next pour 500 ml of stock slowly into the pan, making sure everything is blended well. Continue stirring and then add the 150 ml Marsala wine into the mixture. Simmer and stir until the sauce is reduced to 1/3 of the original quantity. This should take about 20 minutes.

Serve with the steak which has been grilled for 5 minutes on each side.

A jacket potato and some steamed carrots are good companions to this dish.

Enjoy!

I Am Only Human After All film premiere

Portsmouth Film Society (PFS) continues to deliver on its mission to help break down social barriers and unite diverse cultures with the premieres of four short films on 30 May at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth. Portsmouth citizens from all backgrounds have come together to tell their stories. Many people will be able to identify with the difficult subjects of these films; homelessness, substance misuse and recovery, disability and multiculturalism. Whether they have experience of these topics themselves, or only in passing, PFS hopes that projects like these will encourage discussion amongst their viewers. These short films are the result of a 20-week course held at the University of Portsmouth where participants were introduced to all aspects of film-making including script writing, casting, directing, filming and editing. They then became the producers, directors, screenwriters and actors in their own films. The program also included lectures by local film makers and an...

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common. The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’. The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a...

Light the barbie!

On Friday we kicked off the weekend with drinks at the Florence Arms and listening to Fox Elipses in the background (or the other bar). But apparently his songs were depressing, so just as well that I could only hear bits. This was followed by a barbecue on Saturday. It's lovely to share a meal with friends. This time we got the timing right too, so that the food came in stages and the conversation flowing between sips of wine.
