Tagine- The Most Perfect Meal For Gastric Sleevers!

[JackieOMonroe 123]

I want to share the one pot meal I'm making for tonight! This post is great.

Dutch Oven Pot Roast

• 2 lbs chuck roast
  
• 2 onions, halved
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 bag baby carrots
  
• 2 cans diced tomato
  
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  
• 2 bay leaves
  
• 1/2 cup beef stock
  
• 1/2 cup red wine
  
• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• salt
  
• pepper
  

Salt and pepper the meat, then brown it on all sides in the dutch oven with the olive oil. Once browned, add all of the other ingredients to the dutch oven (liquids first). Turn stove down to low and braise for 3-3.5 hours until the meat is falling apart. Baste it with the braising liquid every half hour or so. Salt and pepper to taste.

I serve this to my husband over garlic mashed potatoes, but they're not necessary if you'd rather avoid the starch.

A ton of my posts got erased. Not sure if you saw the one where I said I made the beef tagine and I agree, it IS the most perfect meal for us sleevers. At least for me! The meat is soo tender! Thanks to you, I have used my tagine THREE times this week! Thanks!

PS. I will make the pork and Beans next! :-)

Holy Moley!!! I just googled "tagine" and these are expensive little boogers! All well over $100. Do you know where to buy them cheaper? I've never seen one of these at a garage sale...just sayin'

This cooking method sounds wonderful. I have seen it on the food Channel and been intrigued. I would love to have one. I think I would have to make ahead, because the 2-hour cooking time would make dinner about 8:30pm. But that is not insurmountable. I do a lot of my cooking on the weekends anyway. I have put this thread in my favorites so I will have it whenever I can find a tagine. Thanks, Chef...Kathe

Sorry you missed my posts. One the things I said was that everything turned out so moist I was able to eat 2 ounces of beef plus some veggies for the first time! The aroma in the house is incredible. I will season the meat for 24 hours next time.

Please give us details about the latin pork one. I have enough pork to make the pork and Beans and this one.

I will soon make these Moroccan meatballs. I will let everyone know if they are good.

Please give us details about the latin pork one.

it worked great! although a bit watery, use a slotted spoon or your taco's will be soupy.

Next- I want to try a whole chicken-

put celery,onion and garlic on bottom- rub the chicken with a dry rub and place on top of veggies then bake for two hours.
