Now that it’s getting cooler, this is a great way to use your oven and get some really special flavors. Roasting brings out a much richer (and most times
healthier) result than boiling or steaming… It takes a little longer than those processes, but again, the end product is worth it.
I’ve told you about the combination I used for the
Flank Steak Dinner, and I often use a combination that is great with pork; potatoes, onions, and apples – add a couple tablespoons of mustard, with a splash of apple cider, cider vinegar, or even beer. This is great with kielbasa or other spicy sausage, and I’ve even used thick cut pork chops (pan sear those first) – then bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. YUM!
Every Day Cooking had a good segment on this topic;
America’s Test Kitchen has also done several items using this process along the way...
Veggies taste great cooked this way; it makes it a one or two pan well-balanced meal (you can cook the starch and green together), and is extremely easy and doesn’t take that much time. Give it a try!
