Moroccan Mechoui from Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking: Traditional and Modern Recipes to Savor and Share

Easy and delicious. The meat was falling off the bone. My shoulder was smaller than asked and I probably should have cooked it slightly less. read more >

American cooking: the melting pot

By James Patrick Shenton
New York, Time-Life Books - 1971

A very nice tasty, cold soup. Just enough potato to thicken it, but not enough to give an earthy taste that would be too much on a hot summer day.

4 for taste, 3 for instructions.

- Two people don't need 1-1/2 lbs of meat, which is ...
- "cut into 3-inch" pieces". What does this mean? 3x3? 3x1x1/2? 3x1/2x1/2? What?
- 1/2 cup of wine poured into a hot 12" skillet evaporates almost instantly. You're not going to bring it to a boil and simmer. I added another 1/2 cup just so there was something sauce-like there.
- I sliced my roasted bell peppers, rather than cutting into squares.

Tasty stuff, but this recipe could easily serve three, and would probably serve four.
We thought there was too much bread. Maybe serve as an open-face sandwich, or on a baked potato, or over rice or pasta.
