October Treats Perfect to Cook and Hold
As you know, not every dish lends itself to the cook and hold method. Differences in ingredients and cooking techniques can make a dish more or less likely to fare well with this method. If you're interested in cooking and holding a dish or two this fall, then look no further. We have some suggestions for you.
October Treats Perfect to Cook and Hold:
Nothing warms the heart and stomach quite like a well-prepared dish of Corned Beef. Of course, this dish requires some lead time: the meat must brine for ten days for optimum flavor. Hold the dish as long as required; then serve it up with a side of cabbage.
If you're in the mood for something heartier, perhaps you'd rather consider this Savory Fall Stew. Bursting with the flavors of herbs, vegetables, and spicy Italian sausage, it's sure to hit the spot on a cold day. Better yet, stews never stuffer while simmering. In fact, their flavors only grow more robust. That makes this fall stew a perfect choice to cook and hold.
If neither of those options works for you, perhaps you'll like this Traditional Cornish Meat Pastie (Hand Pie). A perfect blend of beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots, each single-serve hand pie contains the juicy blend of rich flavors everyone expects from this traditional English dish. Since each serving is self-contained in its own crust, meat pasties make a good choice to cook and hold on a short October afternoon.
