Utensils Used
| 1. Soak the raisins in the Madeira overnight. Drain well and reserve the Madeira. | 2. Cut the Parma ham into 12 long strips about 2.5 cm wide. Dip the raisins in half of the chopped parsley, then roll each one tightly in a strip of ham. | 3. Using a sharp knife make 12 small deep incisions into the beef. Push in the Parma rolls. Tie the beef at 2.5 cm intervals with fine string to produce a neat shape. | 4. Thinly slice the aubergine lengthways and brush lightly with a little oil. Grill for 2-3 mins each side until golden brown, cool. | 5. Trim the root ends of the shallots but don't remove completely. Halve any large ones. | 6. Heat 45ml olive oil in a flameproof casserole or roasting tin and brown the fillet all over then remove and set aside. | 7. Add another 15ml oil to the pan with the spices and shallots. Saute for 3-4 mins or until shallots are golden brown stirring the mixture occasionally. | 8. Cover the fillet with the aubergine and return to the pan. | 9. Mix together the reserved Madeira, sugar, stock and remaining raisins and pour over the fillet. Bring to the boil and season. | 10. Cook, uncovered, at 230C (450F) gas 8 for 35-40 mins for medium rare. Allow another 10-12 mins for well done. | 11. Stir the remaining parsley into the pan juices. | 12. Slice the beef thinly and serve with the warmed pan juices (I usually use cornflour mixed with water to get the right consistency). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
