04 Taste from Carmarthenshire: Introduction

Carmarthenshire produce personifies the fresh and glistening colours of the county. There’s sewin from Ferryside; salt marsh lamb and samphire from Laugharne; farmhouse cheeses from Llanboidy, Cenarth, Carmarthen and Talley; Carmarthen ham and farm cured bacon; beef and poultry from across the county; and an array of verdant vegetables.

Carmarthenshire has always been renowned for its fine range of agricultural produce and a bustling rural economy centred on the towns of Llandovery, Llandeilo and the County Town Carmarthen. Thriving markets have always been a showcase for finest local produce of superb quality. The renowned annual United Counties Show displays this at its best, and today the food industry is highly geared to the demands of the modern lifestyle.

The green and leafy county lies between the Black Mountain in the East and the Preseli Mountains to the West, extending north to Llyn Brianne in the Cambrian Mountains, with the long shoreline of Carmarthen Bay to the south.

It encompasses some of the most fertile, green and prolific agricultural land in Britain, with a

network of rivers draining the land, mostly flowing into the vast Tywi estuary and Carmarthen Bay. This rural economy has a most diverse mixture of produce. The nature of the land from the low coastal fringes to the higher mountains gives wide scope for dairy produce, beef, lamb, poultry and crops, and now a wide range of associated foods. The coastline has vast areas of salt marshes with grazing pastures over the summer months. The estuaries have productive shellfish beds and are routes for migratory fish to the rivers. Carmarthen Bay supports a sizeable, yet hidden inshore fishing fleet scattered in many sheltered areas and small harbours.

Embracing the green fields, mountains, rivers and trees, the seasonal, fresh and sophisticated foods of Carmarthenshire provide a larder with quality and diversity perfect for a healthy modern lifestyle in the idyllic rural setting.

A pride of the county is sewin and salmon that run in the rivers from spring to autumn. The Tywi is well known as one of the finest angling rivers for the most exciting fly-fishing for sewin from dusk through the night.

made faggots, cooked gammon, locally baked bread and cakes, and a host of vegetables.

The county has numerous outlets stocking local produce. Markets in principal towns, farmers markets, food halls, independent butchers and grocers all take pride in the county’s produce, with local names prominently displayed in windows and counters. Many restaurants and pubs proudly present menus singing of finest seasonal food of the county. Moreover the county has a large number of more sophisticated wholesalers with van delivery services of finest fresh and chilled produce throughout the county, also to every part of Wales and beyond.

The long Tywi Valley with its meandering river and the many tributaries is home to a large number of livestock farms producing notable beef and dairy products from grazing on the fine pastures. Many of the leading farmhouse cheese producers are capitalising on the new demand for artisan and individual character cheeses. The styles available include traditional rounds of Cheddar and Caerphilly, soft brie style, blue veined and a range of fresh and mature goats’ milk cheese. Innovation with dairy products now extends to mozzarella, yoghurt, mayonnaise, ice cream, goats’ milk fudge, confectionery and speciality chocolates.

Cover with a close fitting lid and place in the oven. Cook slowly for 3 hours. Check from time to time to ensure that the stock has not evaporated.

Just before the shanks are ready, cook the potatoes, carrots and swede in boiling salted water. Saute the leeks in the butter for a few minutes, do not allow them to brown, try to keep the rings whole for presentation.

When the lamb shanks are cooked, remove from the casserole dish and keep warm. Pass the stock through a sieve and skim off any fat. Check for seasoning and add more water if necessary to bring back to 1 litre, bring to boil.

When just cooked, drain the vegetables and keep hot.

To serve, place a lamb shank in the centre of each serving bowl, surround with vegetables and ladle hot stock over the meat and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Serves 4

Taste from Carmarthenshire: Dinner

4 pieces of local salmon fillet, approx 175g each, skin on

3 tablespoons local honey

Pre heat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Grease the bottom of a roasting tin with a little vegetable oil, then place the salmon fillets, skin side down, into the roasting tin and lightly season.

Vegetable oil 250g leeks 250g asparagus 50g Welsh butter 1 tbsp olive oil Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper

Mix together the honey and balsamic vinegar and drizzle half of this mixture over the salmon fillets.

Mix the breadcrumbs with the herbs and season well. Dip the pork into the beaten egg and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring that the fillets are evenly coated.

1 tbsp plain flour

Pre heat the oven to 190째C, gas mark 5.

2 tbsp olive oil

In a large frying pan heat the oil and fry the pork fillets over a medium heat, turn them regularly until they are golden brown all over, then transfer to the oven, cover loosely with foil and cook for 20 minutes.

2 dessert pears 40g Welsh butter 1 dessertspoon brown sugar

Meanwhile, wash the pears and slice each pear into 8 segments, lengthwise.

Gently heat the butter in a shallow frying pan and add the pears.

Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook slowly, turning once until they are caramelised and golden. Keep warm.

To serve, remove the pork from the oven, keep warm, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Place each fillet on to a chopping board and carve diagonally into slices about 1.5cm thick. Arrange on warm serving plates with a sprig of rosemary or thyme, glazed pears and a drizzle of meat juices.

Roasted new potatoes, parsnips and onions make a good accompaniment to this dish.

herb crusted f illet of local beef with a blue cheese hollandaise Serves 4 4 local beef fillet steaks

2 tbsp olive oil Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper For the blue cheese hollandaise 2 large egg yolks 1 dessertspoon lemon juice 1 dessertspoon white wine vinegar 110g butter Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper 110g local blue cheese, crumbled into large chunks

On a large plate combine the chopped herbs with the olive oil and plenty of seasoning. Roll the steaks in the oily herby mixture, until they are thoroughly coated. Leave to sit for a few minutes whilst you make the sauce.

In a food processor whizz the egg yolks for a few seconds with some seasoning. Warm the vinegar and lemon juice in a small saucepan until just starting to simmer, with the processor running slowly pour the liquid into the eggs until it is all incorporated. In the same small pan, melt the butter gently, being careful not to let it brown. Then, with the processor running, pour the melted butter very slowly into the egg mixture, in a gentle stream. When all the butter has been incorporated you should have a smooth, thick sauce.

Transfer to a warm bowl.

Heat a heavy based frying pan over a high heat and cook the herb coated steaks for a few minutes on each side – until cooked to your liking.

To serve, place a steak onto each warmed serving plate.

Add the blue cheese to the hollandaise and either serve this over the side of the steak or separately in a small bowl.

Serve with home made chunky chips or a crisp green salad.

Taste from Carmarthenshire: Dinner

4 local duck breasts, skin on 3 large oranges 125ml olive oil 1 pomegranate 100g lambs lettuce Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper

Pre heat the oven to 200째C, gas mark 6. Make diagonal slits into the skin of the duck breasts, to create a criss cross effect.

Place the orange segments in a bowl and squeeze the juice from the left over core into another small bowl. To the juice add the olive oil and seasoning along with the pomegranate kernels to make a dressing.

When the duck has rested, carve into thick slices on a slight angle.
