This week we worked on braising and stewing. Here's one of the side dishes that went along with our pot roast. Potato pancakes...I've never made or had these before so i pretty excited to do it. I love potatoes, i love pancakes, and now i love potato pancakes hehe. One word of advice though: Don't grate you potato ahead of time...it was get all reddish and nasty and it doesn't help you save any time. Oh and be careful when grating..i learned that one!
This is the Coq au Vin...doesn't look too appetizing from this picture but let me tell you....YUMMY! I had never made this either so it was awesome to be able to make it. The chicken got so tender and juicy it literally fell off the bone. It was so delicious.
How many of you have seen Julie & Julia the movie? You know in the movie how she's trying to make that dish..Beef Tip Bourgenonne...Well here it is. Also never made this before so it was fun. It's gota a very rich red wine flavor hence the name. The meat was very tender and juicy. Turned out very well.
Last but not least...The Yankee Pot Roast with glazed carrots, potato pancake, and sauted snow peas. This was by far my favorite. Probably because i felt it was a complete meal and not a big bowl of meat hehe. Our gravy turned out a little too thin but other than that it was very yummy. All in all week 9 was a success and i got to learn how to make a lot of things i didn't know before.
I want to try all of them! Get over here and cook!
