A Witch in the Kitchen: "Black Roast Express, for my Dad's Birthday."

in #food5 years ago

Hello Dear Witches...!

Last 23rd of this month, it was my father's 61st birthday, he really has been a teacher for me, he has been the one who together with my mother has taught me most of the things I know at this age, his love for nature, the animals and the energies that move this universe, he has known how to transmit them to me, and this is only a small part of the things for which I love him madly, he is and will always be my first love, my king and my great hero, because even at his age he continues to save my life every day. Since one week before his birthday, he kept talking to me about that black roast my grandmother used to prepare when he was little, so I also wanted to surprise him with a black roast.



Needless to say, this one doesn't even reach the feet of my beloved Grandmother Pancha, but the satisfaction that remains is that my father told me that it was delicious and satisfying his palate is really something difficult. The truth and he doesn't know this, is that I did it in an express pot or pressure cooker, because I didn't have enough time for everything I had pending that day, so I reduced the cooking time from 2 hours to just 30 minutes, which for me is something Great!



The only point against making this recipe in a pressure cooker is the reduced size of the same, and that evidently the amount of roast is much smaller, which is really sad, But for everything else, for me is perfect, come with me and show you how easy it is to prepare this delicious and comforting recipe. Enjoy! .


Ingredients


  • 1 Kilogram of Beef.
  • 2 Mature tomatoes
  • 1 Medium red bell pepper.
  • 1/4 cup of garlic porro.
  • 1 Large onion.
  • 1/2 Cup chives.
  • 2 Cup water.
  • 2 Tbsps of salt.
  • 1 tsp ground cumin.
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  • 2 tbsp soybean oil.
  • 2 laurel leaves dry.



  • Preparation



    • Difficulty level: Low
    • Preparation time: 10 Minutes
    • Baking time: 40 Minutes





    • For this recipe use a cut of breast meat, this is ideal because it does not have much fat, which ensures a less greasy preparation, although for me the ideal cut is the round boy. To begin we season our meat and we proceed to seal it, in our hot pot we add the oil and we are sealing by all its sides, until obtaining a beautiful golden of our meat.






      Once that beautiful golden color in the meat is obtained, sprinkle the sugar and let it brown for about 20 seconds, continue adding the tomato, onion, garlic, porro, chives and paprika that we have previously cut finely (all together), stir and we will see that everything becomes a dark brown color, hence the black roast name, at this point we add the meat that we have sealed and water (they can substitute for broth). Cover our pressure cooker and let it cook for 20 minutes.










      The truth is that this is almost all we need to make a black roast, and we just have to let the cooking time pass, and cut our pieces of meat to taste, then let cook for about 10 minutes so that these cuts absorb the delicious flavor of the sauce. I like to accompany this preparation with a good salad to balance a little the heavy of the meat, with the light of a fresh salad, however I decided to serve it just as my grandmother did.








      White rice, caramelized bananas and a rich cup of coffee, that's how my grandmother accompanied him, and that's how my father was served this time, he told me, that this had been the best way to remind him of my grandmother in his day, because he felt that he was accompanying him, (although I think he said it to make me feel good). In order to make his day special I wanted to make him his bread cake, it is his favorite, because he always tells me that my grandmother always made it for him, she originally made it with hard bread, which she scratched and then left soaking in milk from one day to the next.










      As you can imagine, I went for a quicker version of this cake, but no doubt very delicious, with drops of chocolate, candied fruits and raisins, was the perfect sweet touch to accompany this traditional recipe of black roast.




      And you, what would you recommend me to accompany this black roast?
