Cassies Roast Recipes

CASSIES - STOVE TOP POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Trim off any large pieces of surface fat. Mix together salt, pepper, paprika and turmeric and rub this all over the meat.
• 2. In a dutch oven or large skillet with a domed lid, heat (medium-high) 2 tablespoons canola or other oil and brown the meat. Add more oil if needed. Don't rush this step as browning is important for a rich deep flavor.
• 3. Reduce the heat and add 1 1/2 cups dry red wine (or tomato juice) and 1 1/2 cup water, the bay leaves, and the cinnamon stick. Regulate the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Cover the pot.
• 4. Scrub or peel potatoes and carrots and cut into large pieces. If using egg-sized or smaller potatoes, leave them whole. Cut the onions into large chunks. ( I saved time by buying baby potatoes with a thin skin, and prepackaged baby carrots )
• 5. After the meat has cooked for an hour, turn it over and add the cut up vegetables.
• 6. Continue to simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, about an hour and a half. The actual time will depend on the size and shape of the meat. ( Every so often I would push any carrots or potatoes down into the broth, moving the beef around to make room... this is easy once cooked down some.)
• 7. Remove meat and vegetables to a warmed platter and cover loosely to keep warm while you prepare the pan juices. To thicken, raise the heat and boil down the liquid to your desired consistency, or remove 1/2 cup pan juice and thoroughly mix with 1/4th cup flour. Whisk this back into the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Correct the seasoning, if necessary. You can fore go this step if not wanting a gravy for the meat and veggies.

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.
• Mix together melted butter, juice from 1/2 the lemon, oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and thyme in a small bowl.
• Place the chicken in a roasting pan with a rack inside. Look for a spot at the chest cavity opening where the skin and meat of the chickens breasts are a little separated. Use a dessert spoon to gently seperate the skin from the meat of the chicken breast on both sides, keeping the skin intact in the middle. Prop chicken upright by its legs and pour the lemon butter evenly under the skin between the breasts.
• Fill chicken cavity with lemon quarters (including the ones you used for the butter) and rosemary, then tie the legs of the chicken together at the ankle with kitchen string and tuck the wings under the chicken.
• Lay the chicken down on the roasting pan, breast side up, and drizzle with olive oil, then season with paprika, remaining garlic powder, salt and pepper.
