Martimmy Official Drink Of The Soap Opera Passions Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Melt the dripping or 1 oz butter over a high heat in a heavy-bottomed frying pan until the fat smokes.
• Seal the meat and continue frying until nicely browned.
• Remove the pieces from the pan to a deep casserole or divide among four individual high-sided oven proof dishes.
• Turn down the heat to medium.
• Fry the onions in the pan juices, adding a little more butter or dripping if necessary.
• When the onions are soft and starting to brown, sprinkle on the flour and stir in to soak up the fat and the juices.
• As the flour paste starts to colour, start adding stock or water a few tablespoons at a time, stirring vigorously to avoid lumps.
• Gradually add the rest of the liquid.
• Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, add the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the onions and liquid over the meat and mix well.
• Tuck in the bay leaf (tear into 4 pieces if making individual hot pots).
• Arrange the potatoes over the meat in overlapping layers, seasoning each layer.
• Dot the top layer of potatoes with the remainder of the butter.
• Cover the dish and place on the top shelf of the oven for 2 hours.
• Uncover and cook for a further 30 minutes.
• If the potatoes are not brown at this point, turn up the oven and cook for a further 15 minutes, or finish under the grill, brushing the potato slices with more butter if they look dry.
• Serve with red cabbage and chips.

Steps:

• Combine liquid ingredients together, mix well. Serve chilled with a slice of orange.
• *****Personal note: Sadly, Joshua Ryan Evans who played Timmy passed away on August 5, 2002. In a strange twist of art imitating life, the character Timmy was to give the character Charity a heart transplant. Joshua died on the same day the episode aired due to complications with his heart during routine testing. Joshua suffered from achondroplasia, a genetic condition that restricts cartilage growth and physical development. He was only 3'2" tall although he was already 17 years old when he started on the show, hence his role as a doll. All said of him that what he lacked in stature he made up for in heart. He was 20 years old. Other film credits included "Ally McBeal", "7th Heaven", "Baby Geniuses" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." *****.
