Three Meat Stew With Vegetables (pichelsteine Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 tbsp: Lard,
1 1/4 lbs: Pork and beef as well as lamb or mutton, (mutton gives
An excellent flavor), cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 medium: To 3 md onions, diced
Salt,
Freshly ground black pepper,
Crushed marjoram,
3 medium: Potatoes, peeled and finely diced
1 small: Celery root, peeled and diced, OR 4 celery
Stalks, diagonally sliced
1/2 lbs: Carrots, peeled and diagonally sliced
1 large: Leek, (white part only), washed and sliced
2 cup: Beef stock,
Chopped fresh parsley,
Directions:
Heat the lard in a heavy bottomed pot (or ovenproof Pyrex casserole
or the like). Lightly sear and mix together the meat cubes and the
onions; season with salt, an ample amount of pepper, and a very
little bit of crushed marjoram. Remove two thirds of the meat and
onions from the pot and set aside.
Mix the potatoes and vegetables together; spread a third of these
over the bottom layer of meat cubes in the pot or casserole. Sprinkle
with salt and a little pepper. Alternate 2 more layers of meat with 2
more layers of vegetables. Each layer should be separately seasoned
with salt and pepper; the top layer MUST consist of vegetables and
potatoes. Pour in the beef stock. Cover tightly and cook over
medium-low heat for just about 2 hours. Cooking in a 350 degrees F
oven is also possible. You should not stir the stew, but you can tilt
the pot back and forth to circulate the liquid and prevent the bottom
layer from burning. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
Variations:
Savoy cabbage is frequently added to the roster of vegetables, and it
tastes delicious. Sliced kohlrabi would be fine as well.
For a truly gourmet Pichelsteiner, 6 to 8 slices of bone marrow
should be briefly sauteed with the onions at the beginning, then
added to one of the in-between layers of meat. Doubling of
ingredients is advisable. Pichelsteiner tastes excellent reheated.
Makes 4 servings.
