Welsh Rarebit, from Fergus Henderson’s Nose to Tail Eating
To feed six
Ingredients
A knob of butter
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp English
mustard powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
7 oz. Guinness
A very long splash
of
Worcestershire sauce
1 lb. mature strong Cheddar
, grated
4 pieces of
toast
Method
Melt the butter in a pan, stir in the flour, and let this
cook together until it smells biscuity but is not browning. Add the mustard
powder and cayenne pepper, stir in the Guinness and Worcestershire sauce, then
gently melt in the cheese.
When it’s all of one consistency, remove from the heat, pour out into a shallow container and allow to set. Spread on toast 1cm thick and place under the grill. Eat when bubbling golden brown.
This makes a splendid
savoury at the end of your meal, washed down with a glass of Port, or a
steadying snack.
