How many people are you feeding, or how many freezers do you have?
I'm trying to thin out my fridge and freezer for some upcoming travel, but wanted to braised today. 2lbs was just enough for dinner with a little extra for lunch, using
Serious Eats' Red Wine Braised Beef Shanks cut in thirds, which led to shorter cooking time at just about every step, and a splash of sherry vinegar at the end to perk it up.
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
