Dutch Mama Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil and sear the roast on all sides. Add the onions, garlic and tomato paste and cook until slightly colored. Add the wine, stock, thyme and bay leaves. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven.
• Roast for 1 1/2 hours and then add the carrots. Continue to cook for 1 more hour. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice and place on a serving platter. Skim the fat off the braising liquid and serve with the roast. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 425 degrees. Generously coat large nonstick ovenproof skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium-low heat. Melt margarine; remove 1 tablespoon and set aside. Add apples to skillet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Saute until apples and browned and tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes.
• Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over apples and stir in orange juice. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer until sauce is syrupy, about 2 minues. Transfer apples to bowl and stir in strawberries.
• Wipe out skillet and put in oven to keep hot. Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, remaining sugar, orange zest and salt in medium bowl until combines. Sift in flour and whisk batter until smooth, and then whisk in reserved margarine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a Dutch oven or other heavy baking pan large enough to hold brisket heat 1 tablespoon oil in oven 10 minutes. Pat brisket dry and season with salt and pepper. Roast brisket in pan, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• While brisket is roasting, in a large heavy skillet cook onions in remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened and beginning to turn golden. Reduce heat and cook onions, stirring occasionally and reducing heat if necessary, until deep golden, about 20 minutes more. Stir in garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups water and bring to a boil.
• Spoon onion mixture over brisket and bake, covered, with lid 1/2 inch ajar, 3 1/2 hours, or until brisket is tender. (Check pan every hour and if necessary add more water.) Remove brisket from oven and let cool in onion mixture 1 hour.
• Remove brisket from pan, scraping onion mixture back into pan, and chill, wrapped in foil, overnight. Spoon onion mixture into a 1-quart measure and chill, covered, overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Discard fat from onion mixture, add enough water to mixture to measure 3 cups total, and in a blender blend gravy until smooth. Slice brisket against the grain (thick or thin, as you prefer). In a large ovenproof skillet heat gravy until hot, add brisket, and heat in oven 30 minutes.
