Prisoner Pot Roast – so named because of the “Penny Farthing” wine, and the fact that I was playing a crappy rendition of The Prisoner theme song on my 12-string electric while it was cooking. I really like that theme.
The recipe called for potatoes. But we didn’t have any potatoes. And they’re not really too nutritious. What I did have was Brussels sprouts, so I substituted them instead – and WIN. While braising them in broth like I did may have released some sulphuric compounds (thanks, Alton), no trace of un-yumminess could be detected by my tongue. A strange substitution, but it worked, to be sure.
This was from America’s Test Kitchen’s “Cooking for Two” cookbook. FANTASTIC. These guys can do no wrong.
The penny farthing is uh…… okay. I think it was cheap. Tastes like it anyway. Be seeing you.
