11:47 am
modified it a little bit from back in the day, but basically, the essentials are -- wha you ve there are onions and celery. and the key to this is a lot of onions and a lot of celeries brac braised over a long time, like con fe, chef term. >> how long? >> like an hour. u don't want it carmelized, but completely cooked and stills kind of lig in color. >> and are we putting it in butter? >> yes, that' cooked in butter. we have onions and c, ery in butt're braising it. and then what we have are this other thingwe have just like toasted, homemade bread. so whatever bread is like not sourdough, that kind of thing. >> no sourdough bread. just plain bread. >> plain bread.se we to use wonder bread. this is a long time ago, before my chef days. butt used to be wonderbread, now i recommend maybe something a little bit better quaty than that. but anyway, some nice all-natural bread. and then i do - have i take
