One Meat -- Three DIFFERENT Meals

Thursday

my latest issue of

Bon Appetit came

I became enamored with this dish

 Slow roasted pork roast

I bought a roast

(which was on sale)

for less than $7

And roasted it Saturday per the recipe

in 

Bon Appetit

On Saturday we had

Slow roasted pork shredded pork roast

served over creamy polenta

Sunday

We often have a more casual meal

Some of the pork was put into a Dutch oven

And I made a homemade BBQ sauce which I added to the pot

And then I cooked it at 250 for a good hour and a half

Served on a bun with Amish girl's broccoli salad My Way and potato salad

(and a pickle)

Tonight

I put the last of the pork in a Dutch oven

Added some salsa, some chili powder and some oregano

And simmered it for a good hour

Served it in corn tortilla shells

with more salsa, sour cream, cilantro and a squeeze of lime

A roast (whether pork, beef or lamb)

is an economical cut of meat

For less than $7 (for the meat)

I got six meals 

(three meals for the two of us)

And they were three different entrees.

I'm not big on leftovers

But these really aren't leftovers

They're just a different way to eat the roast.

I often buy a roast and cook it on Saturday

And it feeds us at least two other times.

In fact, some of our favorite meals

Are the ones made out of the "leftover" roast!
