Root Beer Glaze

Root beer glaze is a simple glaze that I’ve found works well with either chicken or pork. It is extremely simple to make and adds a sweet glaze to your dish.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup root beer.
1 1/2 cub veal stock

Directions:

Simmer the root beer and stock in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat until reduced to 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Approximately 1 hour. The more you reduce it the thicker the glaze.

Use:

Drizzle or brush the glaze on you protein, most commonly chicken or pork.

Variants:

Substitute beef or chicken stock for veal stock
Substitute beef, chicken, or veal broth for a lighter glaze.

Notes:

Veal stock or broth may be difficult to find.

Universal Chimichurri

Bison Rib-Eye with Chimichurri

Chimichurri … chim-EE-churrrrrrrr-EE … chiiimmmmm-ee-CHURY …CHIM-ee-CHEW-ree. It dances on your tongue, and just wait until you taste it!

No! It has nothing to do with Mary Poppins flying around England, hanging on the end of a silly umbrella!

Chimichurri is perhaps one of the most recognizable culinary exports of Argentina. Usually used as a sauce for various meats. It can, however, be used in many other applications. Think of it as general condiment much like ketchup, though always fresh and with a lot more flavor.

Ingredients:

Since this is “Universal” Chimichurri the ingredient list is rather vague, giving only a general idea of what to use. Feel free to experiment, add a little bit of this, take away a little of that.
