Harrier found this recipe for Liver, fava beans, and "a nice Chianti" - Silence of the Lambs(1991).
Serves 4 [or 1, with leftovers... -jb]
Ingredients
4 x 6 oz portions of sliced... liver--1cm thick
1 red onion--peeled & finely sliced
1 clove of garlic--chopped
Handful of fresh thyme--washed & picked
1 tin of Fava beans--drained
1 & ½ wine glasses chianti
3 oz of butter
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for cooking
Method
In a hot, large non-stick pan, add a little olive oil, season your pieces of calves liver and begin to fry. Cook for two minutes on each side to give a nice colour on the outside and pink in the middle, remove from the pan and allow to rest. Add your red onions, garlic, thyme and fava beans and cook slightly slower for three minutes. Season to taste, add your chianti, simmer for two more minutes, remove from the heat and stir in your butter. Serve liver with some good mashed potato and some of the sauce.
"As she recounted in her memoir My Life in France, it was"perfectly browned in a sputtering butter sauce with a sprinkling of chopped parsley... I closed my eyes and inhaled the rising perfume. Then I lifted a forkful of fish to my mouth... The flesh of the sole was delicate, with a light but distinct taste of the ocean that blended marvelously with the browned butter... It was a morsel of perfection... It was the most exciting meal of my life." Classic French Recipes - Sunset.com
The core of the plot in Attack of the Mushroom People was the plucky castaways of Matango Island trying to find something to eat. They lived on seaweed, turtles' eggs, fish, the roots of some sort of yam-like plant...and finally there was nothing left but the mushrooms that grew everywhere. There was clearly not a lot of cooking involved -- I remember the crewman scamming himself a turtle's egg and sucking it raw while nobody was looking. Mmmmm.
From "Two Days in the Valley" - the Lyle Lovett song "Nobody Knows Me Like My Baby" has his favorite breakfast recipe:
"And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby"
Fried Green Tomatoes recipe from the movie fried Green Tomatoes. This isn't a movie but I have the Soprano's cook book and there is a recipe for Carmela Soprano's Lasagna which has sausage and basil leaves in it. I want to try it.
