Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
  • Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
  • If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
  • With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
  • Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
  • Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

THRACIAN CLAY POT

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 heirloom tomato, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 bell pepper, roasted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallions
3 ounces Bulgarian feta
1 tablespoon dried savory
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces sliced charcuterie, such as Lukanka or a similar European dry-cured sausage
2 eggs
1 serrano pepper, split
Pinch fine paprika, Hungarian or Spanish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F. Cover the bottom of the clay pot with the tomatoes. Cover the tomatoes with the bell peppers. Add the scallions, then the feta, then the savory. Drizzle with the oil. Cover the lid of the pot and bake, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and add the charcuterie. Crack the eggs on top of the charcuterie. Place the serrano pepper on top. Bake until the eggs are cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven and sprinkle with paprika.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. For this recipe, a chuck roast or beef shoulder is a good choice. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in the clay pot.
  • Brown the meat before cooking it in the pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the meat. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon.
  • Don't be afraid to add vegetables to the pot. Carrots, potatoes, and onions are all good choices.
  • Cook the meat on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to break down the connective tissue in the meat and make it tender.
  • Serve the pot roast with a side of rice or couscous.

Clay pot North African pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
