pot roast - this will see your family turn up in time for dinner
Last Saturday my new pot got another work out, the fourth since I bought it. Such a handy pot! Still shiny. I'd decided to cook a Pot Roast, I hadn't done one since before I met L. That's a heck of a long time ago! I'd bought a nice blade roast, just about a kilo, enough for one for several meals. Almost no fat, just how I like it. Not too much trimming to do. If I was roasting this in the oven, I'd leave the fat on and trim it off after cooking, but not for a pot roast. A pair of meat forks are great for lifting large pieces of meat in and out of pots and roasting pans, handy for the barbecue too. Really, any large forks will do as long as you have two of them. One to lift, one to balance. Start with roughly chopping up onions and carrots. Nice sized chunks, not the fine chopping I do for soups. Damn! How many times has this happened to you? Slice the top off what appears to be a perfectly good onion.... .....only to find ...
