ROTTEN MEAT From CASTLEVANIA Is Good, Actually

Igarashi Castlevania games (most of them) have a pretty gnarly food item in them that is basically a plate of rotted meat. If you eat it...it hurts you! But what if it didn't? This is my real-life recipe for this iconic Castlevania item.

Ingredients:

For meat:
2 slices bacon
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 carrot, grated
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 TBL ketchup
1/2 tsp gravy booster
Salt+Pepper+MSG, to taste


For prunes:
10 prunes
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
4 peppercorns
1/4 cup sherry
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp sherry vinegar
Pinch of salt

To serve:
Mashed potatoes or rice
Chopped parsley

For steeped prunes: Place all ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes or until prunes plump up. Remove prunes from the pot to a bowl, and refrigerate until needed. Reduce the liquid in the pot until reduced by half, about five minutes. Set aside.

For Meat: Place a steel pan on your highest burner. Douse it with no-stick spray. Cook bacon until crispy, then set it aside to cool. Heat the pan Take your meat of choice and spread it as thinly as possible in a single layer. Cook until deep golden brown. Drain most of the fat out before proceeding.

Flip meat to cook on the other side. Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pan. Cook this entire mess for about five minutes or until everything takes on a bit of color. Add your wine and your vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the browned bits off.

Add ketchup, gravy booster, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and if you have it, MSG.

To serve: Slice prunes in half. Slice cooked bacon into crumbles. Pile some mashed potatoes or rice on a plate. Top with meat, chopped bacon, prunes, and parsley, or use the meat as a filling in a sandwich.
