We have a tub of leftover pot roast surrounded by the broth it cooked in sitting in the fridge. More broth than meat at this point. So I thought, why not put some of the wonderful cooking liquid to good use. Flavored with onions and carrots, paprika and ginger, it spent about five hours braising that piece of grass-fed chuck. Now it’s loaded with flavor.
I spooned a goodly portion of the geled broth into a small skillet, watched it melt and come nearly to a boil, then cracked an egg into the center, pushing a random piece of beef and a couple of small carrots out of the way. The result was a highly satsifying breakfast, and the gathering realization that you can poach an egg in almost anything.
Nice way to start the new year.
We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
Yum. Looks of goodness in broth.
Cooked mine in peppered bacon grease this morning and was thinking similar thoughts – but didn’t quite envision THIS! Very cool though I’ll give this a whirl!
