Capon Of The North Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 capon about 6 lbs
1 juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 salt and pepper
1 cup butter
1/2 lb bacon, diced
5 small yellow onions
3/4 cup irish whisky
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup ; water
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp light cream
1 lb pearl onions
1 lb mushrooms
Recipe Preparation
Cut up capon as for fricassee. Dip pieces into lemon juice and then
into 3 tablespoons flour, seasoned with salt and pepper. Brown in
butter. Add bacon and small yellow onions; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon
flour, and brown again. Flame capon with Irish whisky. Add salt,
pepper, garlic, and allspice. Cover with wine and simmer gently for
60 minutes or until done.
For the sauce make a broth with the neck, feet, and giblets. Strain
off the liquor from the bird and add to the broth. Reduce to half by
rapid boiling. Thicken with raw egg yolks beaten with cream; reheat
but do not boil after adding egg.
Serve capon in a dish garnished with the pearl onions and mushrooms,
each cooked separately in water and lemon juice. Pour part of the
sauce over the capon and serve the remainder separately. Makes 8 to
10 servings. Source: Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement like splenda. It doesn't weigh the same so you will have to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for everything, but it gives very good results for the most part.
* Make low carb breadcrumbs for breaded foods. Whilst you may be able to buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in a tupperware container.
