i literally ate bbq pork all week so i am kind of sick of both bbq and pork, ha. i have been using my slow cooker a ton lately to make meat for the week ahead of time. need to start making it and freezing half of it though.
decided to do all three - roast beef sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, and chili. though it is vegan chili. it is actually pretty damn good. tomatoes and jalapenos from my garden, poblanos, an orange bell, corn, zucchini, garlic, red onion, black beans, a chipotle + adobo, and seasonings. have some quinoa i cooked i can put in it too. roasted tomatoes and peppers in the oven, cooked all the veg separately on the stovetop to develop some nice color (and charred the corn a bit). took me like two hours.
also if anyone likes to make beef roasts, i recommend adding a few dashes of angostura bitters to it, or the gravy. yum. i "braised" two ~2.5 lb "spencer roasts" overnight in the slow cooker, with some stock/onions/garlic/dried chili/bitters/herbs. fell apart by crushing w my tongs this morning. awesome.
dry brined my chicken overnight, never done that so we'll see how that goes.
decided this morning that i want to make some horseradish cream sauce to go with it, so back to the grocery.
