NOURISHING TRADITIONS' POT ROAST

Steps:

• POT ROAST: Use a metal skewer to poke the meat all over.
• Place the meat in a bowl or glass loaf pan that is just large enough to fit it. Pour the buttermilk over the meat.
• Allow to marinate in the refrigerator, for 2-3 days, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the meat from the buttermilk (discard buttermilk!) and dry off with clean lint-free towel.
• On medium heat, sear the meat on all sides in a Dutch oven in the butter and olive oil.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Remove meat to platter; pour out the browning fat and discard. Note: I don't discard the browning fat. It is too good to waste and really adds a delicious flavor to the gravy.
• Next, add the red wine, stock, French tarragon and peppercorns to the pot. Bring to boil and skim off the top.
• Return the meat to the pot and bake, covered, for 3 hours or until tender. One hour before serving, add the potatoes and carrots.
• GRAVY: Transfer the meat and vegetables to a platter and bring the sauce to a boil on the stove top.
• Spoonful by spoonful, add the arrowroot and water and whisk in the pot to make a gravy of desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the pot roast.

SAUERKRAUT - NOURISHING TRADITIONS

• The top of the cabbage should be at least 1 inch below the top of the jar.
• Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage.
• The sauerkraut may be eaten immediately, but it improves with age.
