This is an extraordinary pot roast.  I was thinking about our trip to Portugal and remembering some of the fabulous meals we enjoyed, hence the Port, the oranges and the cherries.  This seemed like just the thing to use for our Zoom dinner with friends to celebrate getting the vaccine.  Everything is relative and one has to find joy in the little things.

Slow-Roasted Lamb with Middle Eastern-Flavors

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3502.jpgI love lamb.  I have always felt that the reason others don’t enjoy it, is because they’ve had over-cooked lamb.  Gray-colored meat is all that appetizing to anyone.  Admittedly, lamb has a distinct flavor and can be a tad gamey…maybe that’s why I like it so much!  Continue reading →

Hints-of-the-Mediterranean Braised Lamb

12 Thursday Sep 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Herbs, Lamb, Mediterranean Flavors

≈ 3 Comments

Tags

broth, Carrots, fresh herbs, lamb should chops, Mushrooms, onion, red wine, sliced garlic, Spices, tomato paste

I know we’ve talked about this before…I am a dyed-in-the-wool lamb lover.  It’s special and it’s delicious.  Lamb tends to be a bit more expensive than beef or pork, but shoulder chops are an economical option.  They can be fried quickly, but braising them really develops some lovely flavors.  Continue reading →

Sunday Dinner Rump Roast with Onion GravyNothing says Sunday dinner like a nice hunk of roast beef, right?  Some good gravy, roasted or mashed potatoes, maybe some green beans, asparagus, carrots or rutabaga…these, however will only be bit players.  It’s all about the meat.  Now, doesn’t that just scream “Sunday dinner, call the kids”?    Continue reading →

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom, Onion and Caper SauceSalisbury Steak is just a lovely way of saying that we’re looking at a thick hamburger “steak” with gravy.  And I’m all over that.  I hate those thick burgers, that in order to eat them you have to unhinge your jaw, like a python.  I always eat those types of burgers with a knife and fork anyway, so why not add some terrific gravy?  Continue reading →

Croatian Braised Beef (Dalmatinska Pašticada)

Croatian Braised Beef (Dalmatinska Pašticada)I was reading a blog the other day, and I ran across something called Pašticada.  So, what’s this about?  Not being Croatian, this was new to me, but from what I was reading, this dish is a pretty big deal.  For the non-Croatian palate, this may seem like an odd combination of flavors to use with beef—lemons, nutmeg, cloves, prunes and other dried fruit—all braised slowly in red wine and plum brandy.  Continue reading →

Cuban-Style Pot Roast, DeconstructedLast year I shared my recipe for one of The Spicy Honey’s favorite dish, Boliche, the Cuban version of pot roast, with cubes of good things stuffed in the middle of it.  This isn’t that.  Boliche is wonderfully tasty; it is using the eye of the round.  But, I have a chuck roast.  So why, The Goddess asked herself, not make pot roast, using the same ingredients, just not stuffed into the hunk of meat?  Continue reading →

Mother's Pot Roasted PerfectionFor us, pot roast is winter.  It offers such a bang-for-your-buck flavor-wise, with its warm, rich flavor, its rib-sticking meatiness and it’s just so simple to prepare.  It is truly the perfect Sunday dinner, on a cold winters day.  And not to be forgotten, the house smells fantastic and you can spend the afternoon doing a jigsaw puzzle.   Continue reading →
