Cold Weather Food

[Pezchef]

Tam, I like your idea re: using the braised meat for a Ragu on Pasta.

Last night we had some left over braised brisket. I used bloody Mary mix (extra spicey Tabasco brand) as my braising liquid. We sliced it up and had it on toasted Chiabata rolls. Really good!

I love spicy when the weather is sub-zero. Go in for mexican, rich italian marinaras and Indian dishes.

I also bake quite a bit. Pot-pies, quiches, calzones, breads and cookies make the menu a lot more when it's sub zero. Oh and bread pudding. The best when it's freezing outside.

Welcome to eGullet Knicke! This is not fancy, but I layer leftover braised meat slices in a shallow baking pan and pour popover batter over the top of it. Bake and serve with gravy. You can even do this in a ramekin for a single serving. Make your roommate happy with some of the plain popovers too. Here is my Mom's recipe:

2 eggs

1 c milk

1 c flour

1/2 t. salt

Mix it all up to a batter, don't worry about lumps. Pour over braised meat slices (or into greased muffin cups). Put into a cold oven. Set oven to 450. Bake 25 minutes until golden. Don't open the oven till done or they will fall.

Going by what I cooked this cold weekend: bean soups, congee, bread (preferably dense, whole wheats)
