A Yummy Winter Jugged Beef Recipe

I live in the heart of the country and while the nearby town has a number of butcher-shops, none of them do sophisticated! It was thus with some trepidation that I made a foray to purchase for the first time, the shin beef required for this dish. I sidled into the shop and started the conversation with an oblique, “You wouldn’t by any chance have any shin beef?” I nearly fell over when my enquiry elicited the bland response, “How much do you want?” I was home and dry. Do follow in my footsteps and like me, you will be rewarded. This is a truly rich, hot, comforting dish.

Chicken in Pomegranate Sauce: One of My Favorite Recipes

This dish is similar to Fish in Passion Fruit Sauce, with a few minor changes. As the name implies, it calls for chicken instead of fish, a different type of fruit, and it uses different herbs, namely parsley and chives. The chicken is also breaded (sorry to all the heart-healthy conscious) Although the cooking process is similar to that of the aforementioned fish dish, the difference in ingredients produces an entirely different flavor for the dish.
