 Beef Pot Roast for 4

Pot roast is the ultimate winter meal, that is so easy to prepare and full of flavor

and satisfying, it is equally good for a family meal or to serve to guests.

You can cook it the traditional method or in a slow cooker! The results are equally

as good, but a slow cooker is more economical. The hardest thing about this

recipe is gathering all the ingredients!


Ingredients

1 kilo chuck roast, round roast, or briskets. Ask your butcher to roll it for you

2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped

2 bay leaf

2 red onions peeled and cut into ¼

2 celery stalks cut into chunks

2 carrots cut into chunks

1 parsnip cut into chunks

½ swede cut into chunks

I tin of chopped tomatoes

500ml red wine

250ml beef stock

½ teaspoon mixed herbs

½ cup fresh parsley

½ teaspoon brown sugar

Salt and pepper to taste


If cooking in the oven –


Preheat oven 160C/Gas 3/fan oven 140C

Place the meat in a large Dutch oven (casserole dish)

Place the vegetables garlic, bay leaves and herbs around the beef.

Mix the wine, beef stock and tinned tomatoes together with the sugar and pour

over. The meat.

Season, put on the lid to the Dutch oven, and place in the middle of the oven.

Cook for 3 - 3/12 hours, when the meat is soft and tender, take it out, slice the

meat

Serve with mashed potatoes and the vegetables from the pot roast.

If you are using a slow cooker go ahead exactly the same way, but cook for 7 – 8

hours on auto depending on your slow cooker

Serve exactly the same way .

Not Schmaltz At All ( healthy chopped liver)

Chopped liver often mocked, reproduced and joked about, as traditionally Jewish as chicken soup.  Chopped liver can be made with any type pf liver but personally I prefer the traditional  favorite of chicken livers. Chopped liver was traditionally fried in schmaltz (chicken fat ) which over the years has given way to oil, my no fry no oil version tastes just as good but weight watchers can eat with guilt. Nutritional Value Liver is a nutrient-rich food and the ingredients in the chopped liver recipe add more nutrients to the mix. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is dangerous to unborn babies so pregnant mothers should avoid liver in any form.It also contains  vitamin C  choline,  betaine, of vitamin B-12,  retinal and vitamin E  also  of vitamins B-6, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin in lesser amounts It also contains the following minerals  Its high in i ron, magne...

Deli Days ( Remembering Blooms )

In the U.K. we call it Salt Beef, in the US they call it corned beef, but nothing quite evokes my nostalgia taste buds, than a picture of an overstuffed salt beef on rye  sandwich with    a side order of new green cucumbers.. If you were brought up in the south of England , no trip to London was complete without a visit to Blooms.they were located near Petticoat lane in the East End of London, and on Golders green  road  in north west London. Once inside the doors one would feast your eyes and all your senses  on a whole selection of traditional   Jewish dishes, With portions certainly not for the faint hearted or for the cholesterol shy. This week  I am going to take some of those dishes, remove the smaltz, sugars and gluten and give the Kitchen Guru followers the flavors without the  health risks to your favorite kosher  deli menu . Starting today with the item that made Blooms famous Salt...

Catering for the masses...( in a healthy nutritious way).

Tomorrow 35  people are arriving for a meditation & relaxation silent seminar in our yeshuve.( village)   Although they will be silent therefore can not complain, while the facilitators will nourish their souls ,their  bodies will need nourishing by my friend and I. Too often mass catering is done on the cheap with no regard for the health and well-being of the guests with cost being the first concern. I feel strongly that although the occasional fast food meal is OK if people are coming to cleanse their minds it would be so wrong to add chemicals into their bodies.Being healthy is a holistic thing and catering for the masses can be healthy. My friend and I have created a vegetarian  menu that is  hopefully delicious nutritious and not too complex to prepare by two people using two domestic ovens and not highly equipped kitchens. The brief  we were given was  Keep it simple, fillin...
