  3. Chop the Kale and Cabbage: Using a food processor, pulse the kale and cabbage in batches until it is very finely chopped, stopping before the greens get too mushy. If they release too much water, just give them a gentle squeeze with a paper towel. Transfer to a large bowl.

  4. Mix and Serve: Toss your kale and cabbage with some of the dressing; massage it together with your hands for a minute to make sure the kale is tender! Add peanuts, peppers, and the rest of the dressing. YUM!

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Candied Walnuts

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Candied Walnuts - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and gravy herbs. Spread on a greased baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes – check the potatoes for doneness, gently stir, and return to oven. Repeat this process every five minutes for about 15 more minutes (total roasting time should be anywhere from 30-45 minutes). Turn up the heat to 475 and roast for a final 5-10 minutes to really brown them nice and pretty. When they’re done, they should be visibly browned and relatively “dry” to the touch so that once you loosen them you can shake the pan and they slide back and forth easily.

  2. Kale: Cut the kale into very small bite-sized pieces, or shred it into tiny bits (like pictured). Set aside.

  3. Walnuts: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the walnuts and sugar. Stir continuously over moderate heat for about 5 minutes. When the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has coated the walnuts, transfer to foil or wax paper to separate and cool.

  4. Dressing: Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor. Taste and adjust.

  5. Assembly: Toss all the ingredients together just before serving OR arrange the nuts, sweet potatoes, and any other toppings you want over the top of the kale in pretty colorful rows. Drizzle with dressing and enjoy.

Roast Beef and Cheddar Puff Pastry Pockets

Roast Beef and Cheddar Puff Pastry Pockets - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Thaw puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or at room temperature for 20 to 40 minutes; according to manufacturer’s directions. Pastry should be cold to the touch but pliable.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  3. Sprinkle a work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Spread the flour over about a 12-inch square area, and lightly flour a rolling pin.

  4. To form sandwich bottoms, unfold 1 puff pastry sheet over the floured area and lightly roll out to about a 12x12-inch square. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut pastry into 9 equal squares, about 4x4 inches each. Place squares on the prepared pan.

  5. Leaving a clear 1/2-inch border on all sides, brush the center of each square with about 1 teaspoon chipotle mayonnaise.

  6. Fold a thin slice of deli beef to fit inside the border of each square. Top the deli beef with a 3-inch square slice of Cheddar cheese. Use the trimmings from cheese slices to complete all 9 squares.

  7. To form sandwich tops, sprinkle the work surface with remaining flour, and flour the rolling pin again.

  8. Unfold second puff pastry sheet on the floured work surface; roll out to a 12-inch square. Cut into 9 equal pieces.

  9. Make an egg wash by whisking egg and 1 tablespoon water together with a fork, until white and yolk are fully incorporated.

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus Bowls

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus Bowls - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle with oil, and toss with the spices. Roast for 25-30 minutes.

  2. Hummus: Optional: Peel the skin off all your chickpeas. This takes a while (about 20 minutes) but results in THE SMOOTHEST HUMMUS of your life. After the optional peeling, place chickpeas in blender or food processor with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Blend until very, very smooth.

  3. Plate it up: Arrange a thick swoop of hummus on a plate. Top with cauliflower. Add chopped tomatoes, fresh parsley, harissa, a soft boiled egg, whatever suits your fancy. Finish with olive oil, salt, and pepper. YUM. Happy day.

Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Pumpkin Hummus

Roasted Garlic & Rosemary Pumpkin Hummus - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To roast the garlic, I like to simmer the peeled cloves in a small saucepan with olive oil for 15-20 minutes over low/medium heat. The garlic gets the roast-y flavor and then you get some bonus garlic infused olive oil out of the deal. Bam.

  2. Puree all ingredients except rosemary in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add more oil or water as needed. Stir in the rosemary (I found that the blender didn’t really like the tough rosemary pieces in there so I just stirred it in at the end).

  3. Serve with warm naan, apple slices, crackers, carrots, wheat toast, roasted vegetables, pita bread, and/or anything in the world.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Hummus

Roasted Butternut Squash Prosciutto Pizza with Caramelized Onions.

Roasted Butternut Squash Prosciutto Pizza with Caramelized Onions. - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Position the oven rack in the upper 1/3 position. Preheat the oven to 425° F. If you have a baking stone, start preheating it.

  2. 2. Place the ball of pizza dough on a lightly oiled quarter sheet pan. Lightly drizzle olive oil on top of the dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest.

  3. 3. On a baking sheet, toss together the olive oil, butternut squash, honey, sage, cinnamon, cayenne, and a pinch each of crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is just tender and remove from oven. Increase the heat to 500° F.

  4. 4. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook 3 minutes, until softened. Add half the apple cider, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking another 5 minutes, until the cider has mostly evaporated. Add the remaining cider and cook another 5 minutes or until the onions are golden and caramelized. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper, cook another minute. Remove from the heat.

  5. 5. To assemble. Remove the plastic wrap. Gently press the dough until it covers the entire sheet pan. Drizzle the dough lightly with olive oil. Top with the onions, you may not need them all. Add the cheese, then the prosciutto. Arrange the butternut squash on top.

  6. 6. Slide into the preheated 500° F oven and bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pizza, and bake another 3-5 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. Top the pizza additional crushed red pepper flakes. ENJOY!

Roasted Baby Hasselback Potatoes

Roasted Baby Hasselback Potatoes - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Place 2 chopsticks on a cutting board with a potato lengthwise between the chopsticks. Slice the potato into 1/8-inch slices along its length, using the chopsticks as a guide so you don't cut all the way through. Repeat to cut remaining potatoes.

  3. Insert 1 bay leaf inside each sliced potato.

  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a roasting pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and garlic in a single layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Move potatoes around until coated all over and cook until browned a bit, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast until potatoes are crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.

Roasted Cauliflower Bolognese.

Roasted Cauliflower Bolognese. - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 425° F. On a baking sheet, combine the cauliflower, 3 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, oregano, fennel seeds, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat. Transfer to the oven and roast for 15 minutes, or until tender. Add the 2 cloves garlic and fish sauce. Roast another 10 minutes, until charred.

  2. 2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallot, Fresno, and garlic. Cook until the shallots begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the tomato paste, cook 4-5 minutes until thickened. Stir in 1/3 cup water, cook another 2 minutes. Stir in the pesto. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat.

  3. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Just before draining, remove 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water. Drain.

  4. 4. To the sauce, add the pasta, cauliflower, 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, and the butter, tossing until the butter has melted. Add the Parmesan and basil. If needed, thin the sauce with additional pasta cooking water.

  5. 5. Divide the pasta among plates and top with basil and cheese. Enjoy!

Roasted Corn and Fried Egg Tacos

Roasted Corn and Fried Egg Tacos - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add your cheese in a ring shape.

  2. Once it starts to melt a little bit, crack an egg directly into the center.

  3. Spoon a bit of roasted corn around the edge of the egg.

  4. Use a spatula to pull the edges in a bit once the cheese starts to get golden brown; you don’t have to do this, but I find that it helps to contain the egg a bit and expose those golden brown lacy edges.

  5. Cover and let it cook for a minute or two.

  6. When the egg is cooked to your liking (I prefer it with the whites set and the yolk still a bit runny), transfer the egg to tortilla with refried black beans.

  7. Finish with pickled onions, cilantro, Cotija, and your sauce of choice. The crispy cheese edge. The runny yolk. The creamy beans, spicy sauce, tangy onions. Oh my word. YUM.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Cut carrots on an extreme bias into long 3/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add orange juice, water, coriander, and salt and pepper; toss to coat.

  3. Roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through roasting time and drizzling with 1 tablespoon melted butter (and adding additional water if juices begin to scorch).

  4. Meanwhile, stir together bread crumbs, remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter, orange zest, and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle over carrots; roast until panko is lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.

Roasted Garlic Bread

Roasted Garlic Bread - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Slice the tops off of garlic heads, so the tip of each clove is exposed. Place garlic heads, cut-sides up, on a baking sheet; drizzle tops with olive oil.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until garlic is soft, about 30 minutes.

  4. Set the oven to broil.

  5. Slice bread loaf in half horizontally; place cut-side up on a baking sheet.

  6. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins into a medium bowl. Stir in butter, Parmesan cheese, and parsley until well blended. Spread onto the cut sides of bread.

  7. Broil bread until toasted, about 5 minutes.

Roasted Tomatillo Chicken and Rice Bowls

Roasted Tomatillo Chicken and Rice Bowls - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Peel the paper off of the tomatillos, shallots, and garlic cloves. Place the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeños, and shallots on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with oil, and wrap into a little packet. Place on the baking sheet. Roast everything for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Pulse all the roasted ingredients in a food processor with the broth, salt, and cilantro.

  2. For the chicken and rice: Cook the rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat a little bit of oil in a large skillet and add the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; flip once when chicken is lightly browned on the outside. Add the tomatillo sauce to the chicken and let it gently simmer over very low heat for 15-20 minutes to finish cooking. Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, and return to pan. Stir in the half and half and extra water if necessary. (I’ve also added sour cream which is delicious!)

  3. For the Tortilla Strips: In a heavy skillet, heat oil over medium low heat (oil should be about one inch deep). Cut the tortillas into small strips. Test the oil with by letting a drop of water fall in the pan – if it sizzles, the oil is ready. Add the tortilla strips in batches, flipping or stirring occasionally to prevent burning. When the tortilla strips are crispy and golden, remove and set on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all tortillas are done.

  4. Assemble the bowls with rice, chicken, tortilla strips, cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice. Yum!

Roasted Red Pepper Potato Soup

Roasted Red Pepper Potato Soup - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Roast the bell peppers until blackened all over:

    Roast the red bell peppers by placing them over or under an open flame until they blacken on all sides. (You can use a grill, cooktop gas burner, or oven broiler.) Place the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover the bowl with a plate, and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes, or until the skins feel like they can easily be slipped off. Remove the peppers from the bowl, peel off the blackened skins, remove the seeds. Chop the peppers roughly.

  2. Sauté the onions:

    Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add the potatoes and garlic:

    Add the potatoes and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, then add the garlic and the chopped roasted peppers. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. Add the stock and simmer:

    Add the stock, stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are soft, about 12 to 15 minutes.

  5. Purée the soup:

    Purée the soup in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Fill the blender about halfway with the soup. Start the blender on low and keep your hand on the top, in case the lid wants to pop off from the rising steam. Once everything is well chopped, turn the blender to its highest setting and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. You might need to do this in batches.

  6. Add the cream, season to taste, and serve:

    Return to a clean pot set over low heat. Add the cream, stir well and taste. Add some cayenne, salt and pepper to taste.

Herb and Butter Roasted Turkey Parts. - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Ask your butcher to cut the turkey into pieces: breast, thighs, wings, and legs. Remove the turkey from the fridge one hour before roasting and allow it to come to room temperature.

  2. 2. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Arrange the turkey pieces in a large roasting pan or between 2 skillets

  3. 3. To make the butter. In a bowl, combine 1 stick of butter, sage, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gently lift the skin of the turkey pieces by using your fingers and going in between the skin and body of the bird. Rub the herb butter under the skin of the bird, spreading some of the butter on top of the skin as well.

  4. 4. Arrange the onions, shallots, and garlic around the turkey. Melt the remaining stick of butter. Dampen your cheesecloth with water and squeeze dry. Submerge the cheesecloth in the melted butter, making sure all the cheesecloth has soaked up the butter. Lay the cheesecloth over the turkey. Drizzle any remaining butter over the turkey.

  5. 5. Place the roasting pan in the oven for 30 minutes at 450° F. Add the 2 cups of broth and reduce the oven temperature to 400° F. Continue cooking until the turkey registers 160° F on a meat thermometer.

  6. 6. Remove the turkey from the oven and tent with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, then slice the meat against the grain.

  7. 7. Meanwhile, make the gravy. Strain the liquid from the roasting pan, skimming off most of the fat. Add enough broth to equal about 4 cups total of drippings/broth.

  8. 8. Place the roasting pan over two burners and add 1/2 cup wine, scraping up all those brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is deglazed, add the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden, around 5 minutes.

  9. 9. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1/2 cup of white wine, whisking as you go to let the wine reduce down. Slowly add the reserved broth, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the sage. Continue to stir until the gravy has thickened to your desired thickness, around 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm with the turkey.

My Mom’s Easy Pot Roast Is Pure Comfort

My Mom’s Easy Pot Roast Is Pure Comfort - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the roast:

    Remove chuck roast from packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Liberally season the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. Sear the roast:

    If your slow cooker has a sauté function, turn it to medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the roast on all sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side to develop a nice, even golden brown crust all over. Remove the roast from the pan and set aside.

    Alternatively, if your slow cooker does not have a sauté function, you can use a Dutch oven on the stovetop.

  3. Sauté the vegetables:

    Add the onions, garlic, and carrots to the slow cooker and sauté until the onions are beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot while the wine reduces. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Slow cook:

    In your slow cooker, combine the seared roast, sautéed vegetables and liquid, and beef stock.

    Set the slow cooker to low and cook until the roast is falling apart, about 8 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Turn off the slow cooker and use a ladle to remove the fat that’s collected at the top of the cooking liquid before serving.

  5. Make the gravy (optional):

    If you prefer a thicker sauce, more like a gravy than a broth, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir to make a slurry.

    Remove the roast and vegetables from the pot and tent with foil to keep warm. Stir the slurry into the cooking liquid and bring to a simmer while stirring. Cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Roast Chicken with Vegetables

Roast Chicken with Vegetables - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Let the chicken come to room temperature:

    The chicken must be at room temperature before it goes in the oven, or the chicken will not cook evenly.

  2. Cut away the wishbone:

    Use a paring knife to cut away the wishbone from the neck/breast area of the chicken. You will probably have to use your fingers to feel around for it.

    This is a little bit tricky, but if you can remove the wishbone first, it will make the chicken easier to carve after it is cooked. (This ease of future carving is the only reason to take the bone out, so you can leave it in if you want.)

  3. Season the cavity:

    Generously season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add three of the garlic cloves and the sprigs of thyme to the cavity, using your hands to rub the thyme and garlic all around the cavity.

  4. Truss the chicken:

    Cut a 3-foot section of cotton kitchen string. Place the chicken so that it is breast up, and the legs pointing toward you. Tuck the wing tips under the chicken. Wrap the string under the neck end of the bird, pulling the string ends up over the breast, toward you, plumping up the breast.

    Then cross the string under the breast (above the cavity and between the legs). Wrap each end around the closest leg end, and tie tightly so that the legs come together.

    Truss the chicken:
  5. Toss the vegetables with olive oil:

    Place the vegetables, onions, garlic, and remaining thyme sprig into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss with your hands until well coated. Season generously with salt and pepper.

    Create a bed of the root vegetables in a large cast iron pan (or use a regular roasting pan if you don't have a cast iron pan.) My father likes to leave out the potatoes at this stage and arrange them around the chicken.

  6. Slather the chicken with oil and season:

    Spread the remaining olive oil over the chicken skin. Season with salt and pepper.

    Slather the chicken with oil and season:
  7. Place the chicken in skillet:

    Place the chicken on the bed of vegetables. Slather the top of the chicken breasts with butter. (Note that we added some extra sprigs of thyme to the top, probably because my dad forgot to add them to the vegetables! But it still worked.)

    Place the chicken in skillet:
  8. Roast in the oven:

    Place the pan in the oven and roast the chicken for 25 minutes at 475°F. Then reduce the heat to 400°F and roast for an additional 45 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F on a meat thermometer and the juices run clear.

    Roast in the oven:
  9. Cover and let rest on cutting board:

    Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes before carving to serve.

    You can keep the vegetables warm by keeping them in the now-turned-off oven while the chicken is resting. Stir to coat the vegetables with the cooking juices before serving.

  10. Cut the chicken into serving pieces:

    Place vegetables on a serving platter with the chicken pieces arranged on top.

Liz’s Roasted Broccoli Salad

Liz’s Roasted Broccoli Salad - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Roast broccoli, bacon, and shallot: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place broccoli on a large sheet pan, on one side. Place bacon and shallots on the other side. (If you’re running out of room you can separate this onto two sheet pans.) Drizzle broccoli with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast everything for 20-30 minutes, until things are nice and browned. Transfer broccoli, bacon, and shallots to a bowl.

  2. Make sourdough croutons: Turn the oven temp down to 375 degrees. Drain off excess bacon fat if needed, and then add sourdough to the bacon pan and toss to coat in the bacon fat. Add more olive oil or butter as needed to get the croutons evenly coated. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy and lightly browned.

  3. Toss and serve: Toss broccoli, bacon, and shallot with feta (add it while everything is hot so it melts a little bit! so yum), lemon zest and lemon juice, and sourdough croutons. Finish with a clove of freshly grated garlic, if you can handle the bite, which I most definitely can! Also: salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste. You can eat this hot or cold or room temp, and it will be so delicious all of the above ways.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Pot Roast - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season and sear the roast:

    Combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub onto all sides of the roast.

    Set a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the skillet. Once the oil shimmers, add the roast and sear the roast on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker, and nestle thyme, quartered onion and bay leaf around the roast.

    Season and sear the roast:
  2. Deglaze the skillet:

    Reduce the heat for the skillet to medium. Add the wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic cloves to the skillet to deglaze the pan. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until some of the alcohol cooks off the wine, and you scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Turn off the burner.

    Deglaze the skillet:
  3. Add the vegetables and liquid to the slow cooker:

    Nestle the mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes around the roast. Pour the wine from the skillet and the beef stock over everything.

    Add the vegetables and liquid to the slow cooker:
  4. Cover and cook:

    Secure the lid, cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8 to 10 hours.

  5. Make the gravy and serve:

    Ladle 2 cups of the slow cooker liquid into a medium saucepan. Set it over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

    Make a slurry by combining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water. Whisk the slurry into the boiling liquid. You should see it thicken to the consistency of honey within a minute or so.

    Once thickened, remove it from heat. Serve up some pot roast and veggies, then top with gravy. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

The Best Pot Roast

The Best Pot Roast - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Brown the roast on all sides:

    Use a thick-bottomed covered pot (ovenproof if you intend to cook in oven), such as a Dutch oven, just large enough to hold roast and vegetables. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil on medium high heat (hot enough to sear the meat).

    Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Sprinkle and rub salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning all over the meat. Brown roast in pot, all over, several minutes on each side. Don't move the roast while a side is browning, or it won't brown well.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Brown the roast on all sides:
  2. Brown the onions, add garlic, carrots:

    When roast is browned, remove from pan and set on a plate. Add the onions to the pan and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until they begin to brown. Add the garlic and carrots to sit on top of the onions.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Brown the onions, add garlic, carrots:
  3. Add the roast and simmer:

    Set the roast on top of the onions, garlic and carrots. Add 1/2 cup of red wine. Add the bay leaf and cover.

    Bring to simmer and then adjust the heat down to the lowest heat possible to maintain a bare simmer when covered (we cook our roast on the warm setting of our electric range).

    (If cooking in the oven, bring to a simmer first on the stovetop, then put in the oven, start the temp at 350°F for 15 minutes, then drop it to 250°F for the next hour, and then to 225°F after that.)

    If you use a gas range, you may find difficulty getting the flame low enough to maintain a bare simmer. In this case, roll up some aluminum foil tightly, shape it into a donut, and put it on top of the burner to create a little more distance between the range and the pan. If you use a high-BTU range, you may want to cook the roast in the oven instead.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Add the roast and simmer:
  4. Cook several hours until fork tender and serve:

    Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, or longer, until meat is tender.

    After 3 1/2 hours, the meat will release a lot of liquid, which comes from slow cooking at a very low temperature. If your pot roast is too dry, make sure the pan you are using has a tight fitting lid and that you are cooking at the lowest possible heat to maintain the low simmer.

    Serve with green beans and potatoes.

Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast

Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Chill the roast to make it easier to cut:

    Before starting on the pork, put the pork roast in the freezer for 30 minutes to make it easier to cut. While the pork is chilling, you can make the filling.

  2. Make the filling and glaze:

    Bring all the filling ingredients to simmer in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.

    Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Use a rubber spatula to press against the apple mixture in the sieve to extract as much liquid out as possible.

    Return liquid to saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside and reserve this liquid for use as a glaze.

    Pulse apple mixture in food processor, about fifteen 1-second pulses. Set aside.

  3. Preheat oven to 350°F:

    or prepare your grill for indirect heat.

  4. Butterfly the roast:

    You will be "double-butterflying" the pork roast. Lay the roast down, fat side up. Insert the knife into the roast 1/2-inch horizontally from the bottom of the roast, along the long side of the roast.

    Make a long cut along the bottom of the roast, stopping 1/2 inch before the edge of the roast. You might find it easier to handle by starting at a corner of the roast.

    Open up the roast and continue to cut through the thicker half of the roast, again keeping 1/2 inch from the bottom. Repeat until the roast is an even 1/2-inch thickness all over when laid out.

    If necessary, pound the roast to an even thickness with a meat pounder.

    Butterfly the roast:
  5. Spread filling on roast and roll up tightly:

    Season the inside of the roast well with salt and pepper. Spread out the filling on the roast, leaving a 1/2-inch border from the edges.

    Starting with the short side of the roast, roll it up very tightly. Secure with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals. Season the outside of the roast generously with salt and pepper.

    Spread filling on roast and roll up tightly:
  6. Roast in oven:

    Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan, place in oven, on the middle rack.

    Cook for 45 to 60 minutes, until the internal temperature of the roast is 130 to 135 degrees F.

    Brush with half of the glaze and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove the roast from the oven or grill. Place it on a cutting board. Tent it with foil to rest and keep warm for 15 minutes before slicing.

  7. Slice:

    Slice into 1/2-inch wide pieces, removing the cooking twine as you cut the roast. Serve with remaining glaze.

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Roast

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Roast - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Salt the roast and let rest at room temp:

    About an hour before you intend to cook the roast, take it out of the refrigerator and sprinkle it with salt on all sides. Let it sit at room temp to take the chill off before you roast it.

  2. Sear the roast on all sides on the stovetop:

    Pat pork roast dry with paper towels. Sprinkle it with pepper on all sides and again with a little salt (you likely wiped off much of the earlier sprinkle of salt when you patted it dry.)

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat. When the oil is shimmery hot, add the pork roast to the pan and brown it on all sides (don't move the roast until it has browned on one side). About 10 minutes. Remove the roast from the pan and set on a plate.

    Sear the roast on all sides on the stovetop:
  3. Rub the roast with rosemary and wrap with bacon:

    Rub the pork roast all over with minced fresh rosemary. Wrap the roast in bacon strips, overlapping the strips if necessary. Tie the roast up with kitchen string to hold the bacon strips in place.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Rub the roast with rosemary and wrap with bacon:
  4. Roast:

    Place the roast in a roasting pan and roast in the oven at 375°F (190°C), occasionally basting with the pan juices, until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer, about 35 to 40 minutes.

  5. Tent with foil and let rest:

    When the roast has reached temperature, remove it from the oven and place it on a serving dish. Tent the roast with foil to keep it warm while it rests and while you make the pan sauce.

  6. Make a sauce with the roast drippings:

    To make a sauce with the pan drippings, place the roasting pan on top of the stove on low heat. Pour white wine into the pan and start scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a flat edged metal or wood spatula.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Pour the scraped up drippings through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan.

For the Best Roast Chicken, Make It the Greek Way

For the Best Roast Chicken, Make It the Greek Way - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken:

    Start marinating the chicken at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours before roasting. Finely grate the zest from the lemon and then juice it into a large non-reactive bowl or baking dish. Add the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine.

    Cut the chicken legs through the joint into thigh and drumstick pieces using a boning knife or poultry shears. Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture and rub it into the meat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

    You can swap the chicken legs for a mix of drumsticks and bone-in, skin-on thighs, or use all drumsticks or all thighs.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Place one oven rack in the center and another rack in the top third of the oven (so it is about 6 inches from the broiler element). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Prepare the chicken and vegetables:

    Arrange the marinated chicken pieces skin side up on the baking sheet with space between them, leaving any clinging marinade on the meat. Discard any remaining marinade in the bowl. Tuck the potatoes around the chicken pieces, if using,  and sprinkle everything with salt.

  4. Roast:

    Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of the oven and roast, stirring the potatoes once, until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 165°F when inserted into the largest thigh, 35 to 40 minutes.

  5. Broil the chicken:

    Move the baking sheet to the top third of the oven and turn the broiler on high. Broil, rotating the baking sheet once and stirring the potatoes until the chicken skin is deeply browned in places, about 3 minutes.

    Remove from the oven and transfer the chicken and potatoes to a large serving dish. Pour any pan juices over the top and serve.

    Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place on a microwave-safe plate, cover, and cook on 60% power until piping hot throughout. To crisp up the skin, broil the chicken after reheating, arranging it on a foil-lined baking sheet 4 inches from the broiler element until the skin is sizzling, 2 minutes.

How to Dry Brine and Roast a Turkey

How to Dry Brine and Roast a Turkey - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry brine ingredients:

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, ground black peppercorns, salt, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir to combine. Quarter the remaining lemons, and save them for the cavity of the turkey.

    Combine the dry brine ingredients:
  2. Prepare the turkey for brining:

    About 24 to 72 hours before you want to roast the bird, take the thawed turkey out of any packaging, and remove the pop-up thermometer, if it has one. Remove and reserve the giblets and neck for making gravy or stock.

  3. Dry brine the turkey:

    Place turkey on either a cooling rack set on top of a rimmed baking sheet or directly on the roasting rack in the roasting pan (mine didn't fit easily in the fridge that way!). Thoroughly pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Loosen the skin of the breast and legs.

    Spread about half of the brine mixture under the skin, massaging it into the breasts and legs, 1/4 on the outside and the remaining 1/4 inside the cavity. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 to 72 hours.

    Dry brine the turkey:
  4. Prepare for roasting:

    When ready to roast the turkey, position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat the oven to 425°F.

    If it's not there already, transfer the turkey to a roasting rack set in a roasting pan. Into the cavity of the turkey, put the quartered onion and lemon, and the rest of the fresh herbs you used for the dry brine.

    To truss the bird, tuck the wings under the body as best as you can. Place butcher’s twine under the turkey, close to the wings. Cross the twine at the neck of the turkey, wrap each end of twine around the tip of the leg, and tie the legs together.

    Prepare for roasting:
  5. Begin roasting the turkey:

    Roast the turkey at 425°F until the skin starts to brown in spots, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and roast for another 45 minutes.

  6. Baste the turkey and finish roasting:

    Rotate the roasting pan, baste the turkey with the pan juices, and tent the breast with foil to prevent it from overcooking. (If you find that your turkey hasn’t produced enough juices to use for basting, warm a cup or two of extra chicken broth on the stovetop or in the microwave and use that to baste the turkey.)

    Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh without touching bone registers 160°F. This should take an additional 30 to 45 minutes; check the temperature and baste every 15 minutes until the bird is fully cooked.

    Baste the turkey and finish roasting:
  7. Rest the turkey and serve:

    Transfer the turkey to a clean cutting board and tent with foil. Let it rest 20 minutes before carving. Pat yourself on the back. Pour yourself one of these bad boys, and put someone else in charge of the dishes.

Easy Roast Chicken

Easy Roast Chicken - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Remove the chicken from the fridge, unwrap, and set it on the counter to warm up a bit.

  2. Prepare the pan:

    Add the roughly chopped vegetables to a Dutch oven, roasting pan, or rimmed sheet pan large enough to hold the chicken. Toss with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out into an even layer. If you’re using a roasting pan or sheet pan, arrange the vegetables to be slightly larger than the chicken so it can sit on top.

    Simply Recipes / Frank Tiu

    Prepare the pan:
  3. Prepare the chicken:

    Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity (if needed) and dump out any liquid. Pat dry inside and out with paper towels.

    Generously season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff with the lemon, onion, and rosemary or thyme, if using. If using the butter, gently separate the skin from the breast meat and smear the butter in between the skin and meat. Use any leftover butter on your hands and spread it on the outside of the bird. Season generously all over with salt and less generously with pepper. If you’re using a salt cellar, this will be about 3 good pinches; if you’re using a grinder, it’s about 8 full turns of the grinder. If you don't normally season your food this way, it's going to feel like more salt than you are used to using.

    Tuck the wings under the body so they don’t stick out. Place the chicken breast-side-up on top of the vegetables.

    Be sure to keep track of everything that comes in contact with the raw chicken and its juices. Wash your hands often and clean any surfaces, the sink, and any tools thoroughly after use.

    Prepare the chicken:
  4. Roast:

    Place the chicken in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reads 165°F, about 15 minutes per pound. Depending on the weight of your chicken, the total cook time will be between 50 minutes and 1 hour and 40 minutes.

    Start testing for doneness 10 minutes before your target time, then every 10 minutes after that as needed. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast (without touching the bone) as well as a thigh to test for doneness. Both temperature readings should register at least 165°F per the USDA.

    Honestly, I cook my chicken until the breast meat reads 155 to 160°F in the thickest part (the dark meat should read at least 165°F). As the chicken rests, the internal temperature will continue to rise to 165°F, and that way I don’t risk overcooking the white meat. If you’re nervous about it, just cook until you reach the full 165°F.

    Roast:
  5. Rest and serve:

    Baste the chicken with the pan juices and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving and serving (no need to cover). Use the lemon from the chicken and squeeze it over the vegetables. Serve alongside, if desired.

    Leftover roast chicken will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Roast Turkey Breast with Roasted Garlic Gravy

Roast Turkey Breast with Roasted Garlic Gravy - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prep the turkey wings:

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Chop the turkey wings into pieces with a cleaver or heavy kitchen knife (or have your butcher do this for you).

    Coat the wings with some olive oil and salt well. Arrange in one layer in a roasting pan.

    Preheat the oven and prep the turkey wings:
  2. Roast the garlic and chopped turkey wings:

    Slice off the top 1/4 of the garlic heads and discard. Nestle the heads into some aluminum foil and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the garlic. Close the foil and place in the roasting pan with the turkey wings.

    Put the pan in the oven and roast at 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic (do not unwrap), turn the turkey pieces and roast another 15 minutes.

    Roast the garlic and chopped turkey wings:
  3. Remove the moisture from the turkey breast and let it sit:

    While the turkey wings are roasting, take the turkey breast out of its package and pat the outside dry with paper towels. Sit it on a plate or board that will catch any juice that runs out until you need it in Step 5.

    Remove the moisture from the turkey breast and let it sit:
  4. Make the turkey wing stock:

    When the turkey wings are ready, remove them from the oven, and increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Place the cooked wings in a medium pot and cover with water.

    Add a cup of water to the roasting pan and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add this to the pot with the turkey wings. Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour.

    Make the turkey wing stock:
  5. Roast the turkey breast:

    While the wings are simmering, coat the turkey breast with more olive oil, then sprinkle it all over with salt. Sprinkle it as well with black pepper, thyme and sage.

    Place the turkey breast skin side up in the 425°F oven on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan (this will help prevent the oven from smoking).

    Put the turkey in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350°F and cook until the thickest part of the breast reads 155°F with a meat thermometer, about 80-90 minutes for a 6 to 7 pound breast. To be on the safe side to keep from overcooking the turkey, check the internal temperature of the breast after 1 hour.

    Note: USDA guidelines recommend cooking chicken to 165°F or until no longer pink in the middle. However, we prefer to remove the turkey breast from the oven at 155°F. The turkey should reach 165°F as it rests; check with an instant-read thermometer.

    Roast the turkey breast:
  6. Make the gravy while the turkey breast is roasting:

    Pour the turkey stock through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl.

    Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pot and stir in the flour. Cook the butter flour mixture over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture is the color of coffee-with-cream.

    Add the hot turkey stock to the butter flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Stir in enough stock to make a thin gravy, about 2-3 cups. Squeeze all the garlic from the garlic heads into the gravy.

    Simmer gently while the turkey breast cooks, adding more turkey broth or water if the gravy gets too thick.

    Make the gravy while the turkey breast is roasting:
  7. Remove the turkey from oven, let rest:

    When the turkey breast is ready, remove it from the oven, cover it with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

  8. Finish the gravy:

    Pour the gravy into a blender and purée until smooth. Return the gravy to the pot and add salt and pepper to taste. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of butter to finish.

  9. Carve the turkey breast:

    Cut straight down from the keel bone (the keel bone separates each half of the breast) until your knife hits the breast bone. Slice the meat off and, using short strokes with the knife, free the meat from the bone.

    If you want, pull off the tender underneath the breast and slice this piece separately; it tends to fall off the rest of the breast when you slice it anyway. Slice the deboned breast and serve.

    Carve the turkey breast:

Roast Beef Tenderloin with Sautéed Mushrooms

Roast Beef Tenderloin with Sautéed Mushrooms - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the roast, let sit at room temp:

    Remove roast from refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before cooking so that it has time to come close to room temperature. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper and set aside.

    Season the roast, let sit at room temp:
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F :

    Wait until the roast has come to room temperature, then preheat the oven.

  3. Sear the roast on the stovetop:

    Heat olive oil in a cast iron or thick-bottomed sauté pan that can take the heat, on high heat. When the oil is hot, place the roast in the pan and brown it on all sides, including the ends, about 10 minutes.

    Sear the roast on the stovetop:
  4. Place the roast in the oven:

    When sufficiently browned, remove the roast from the pan (do not clean out the pan) and place in a roasting pan.

    Place in the oven and roast at 425°F until the internal temperature is 130°F for rare (140°F for medium), about 20 minutes (or longer if your roast wasn't at room temp to begin with. Use a meat thermometer!

  5. Let the roast rest before slicing:

    Remove from oven and loosely tent with foil to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

    Let the roast rest before slicing:
  6. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms:

    While the roast is resting, prepare the mushrooms. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the same pan you used to sear the beef roast. Heat on medium heat to melt the butter. Add the minced shallots and garlic, and cook for half a minute.

    Stir the mushrooms into the pan and cook until they start to give off steam. Then add salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. Continue to cook until just cooked through.

    Add a few tablespoons of warm water to the pan to scrape up any remnants from the bottom of the pan (can also use white wine or marsala). Remove from heat.

    Sauté the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms:
  7. Slice the roast:

    Use a sharp knife to slice the roast across the grain into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve with the sautéed mushrooms.

Instant Pot Pernil (Roast Pork)

Instant Pot Pernil (Roast Pork) - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork:

    Rinse the pork butt, dry the surface with paper towels, and place the pork butt on a platter or large bowl.

    Use the tip of a sharp knife to poke 1-inch slits all over, but don't poke holes through the skin. Run your knife between the meat and the skin to create a small pocket—you'll rub marinade under the skin later.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Prepare the pork:
  2. Drizzle lime juice over the pork:

    Drizzle 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice all over the pork, making sure to rub it inside the pocket you just created. Allow the lime juice to penetrate the meat while you prepare the marinade.

  3. Make the marinade:

    In a small bowl, stir the recaito, garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of adobo, granulated onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and the sazón. The mixture will form a loose paste.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Make the marinade:
  4. Rub the marinade on the pork:

    Use your hands or the back of your spoon to rub the marinade on the pork, including inside the pocket under the skin.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Rub the marinade on the pork:
  5. Marinate the pernil:

    Transfer the pernil into a lidded container or gallon-sized zip top bag. Marinate it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Marinate the pernil:
  6. Sear the pernil:

    Remove the pernil from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Just before searing, sprinkle the pork with the remaining 1 teaspoon adobo.

    Select the sauté setting on your instant pot. If yours has the option, set it to high. When the display reads "hot,” add the vegetable oil.

    Place the pernil in the pot using tongs and sear the meat for 3 minutes on three of its four sides for a total of 9 minutes. Don't sear the side with the skin.

    Transfer the seared pernil to a platter.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Sear the pernil:
  7. Deglaze the pot:

    After removing the pernil from the pressure cooker, press the cancel button. Pour 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1/4 cup lemon juice into the pot. Use a flat-edged spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Deglaze the pot:
  8. Return the pernil into the pot:

    Use tongs to return the pernil to the pot with the skin facing up.

  9. Pressure cook the pernil:

    Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the pressure regulator is sealed.

    Set it to pressure cook on high pressure for 1 hour. It will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Pressure cook the pernil:
  10. Release the pressure:

    After the cooking time is over, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes.

    Then, carefully press the release valve to completely de-pressurize the pot—I use a kitchen towel or mitts. Remove the lid and use tongs to transfer the pernil onto a sheet pan.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Release the pressure:
  11. Crisp the skin:

    Set the oven broiler to low. Place the pernil under the broiler and allow the skin to crisp for 5 to 8 minutes, until dark, crisp, and blistered.

    The broiler may create a lot of smoke, so I recommend turning on the exhaust fan or opening all your windows.

  12. Rest the pernil, then serve:

    Allow the pernil to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Then, use a sharp knife to cut it into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. Ladle some of the cooking juice from the pot over the sliced meat.

    Simply Recipes / Marta Rivera

    Rest the pernil, then serve:
  13. Store leftovers and reheat:

    Refrigerate leftovers, including the cooking juices, in a lidded container for up to 3 days.

    To reheat, portion out the desired amount of meat and heat it until warmed through in a microwave-safe container with some of the cooking juice drizzled on top.

    You can also heat the pernil in a skillet. Bring some of the cooking juices to a simmer over medium heat, then add the sliced meat. Heat for about 5 minutes, until warmed through.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Red Pepper Puree: Blend the red peppers, water, and broth base until smooth.

  2. Saute the Shallots: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and shallots; sauté until the shallots are lightly golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. Cook Pasta: During this time, cook the pasta according to package directions, to al dente so the noodles can finish in the sauce.

  4. Combine Sauce: Turn the heat down to avoid splatters; add the red pepper puree and let it sizzle out for a moment. Then add the cream. Stir to combine; let it gently bubble for a few moments until it has thickened into a nice creamy sauce.

  5. Add Pasta: Add pasta into the sauce; let it simmer for a few moments to thicken and coat the noodles. If needed, add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  6. Yum. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan, basil, and/or red pepper flakes. It’s so gooood.

House Favorite Roasted Brussels Sprouts

House Favorite Roasted Brussels Sprouts - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place brussels sprouts cut-side down directly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. Roast brussels sprouts for 15-20 minutes, until cut sides are very brown and some of the leaves are crispy. Add walnuts, mustard, and maple; return to oven for 5-10 minutes to get the walnuts toasted. (You can choose to either add the sauce now, or when the pan comes out of the oven in step 3. If you add it now, it gets kind of baked into the brussels, but if you add it when they’re done baking, it’ll be a little more saucy. I like it both ways. Your choice!)

  3. Remove from oven. Toss with cranberries directly on the baking sheet. Season and serve immediately. Yumo!

Classic Roast Beef

Classic Roast Beef - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Salt the roast and let it come to room temp:

    The beef should be brought as close to room temperature as possible before you start to roast it, so that it cooks more evenly. Remove it from the refrigerator at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, before cooking. Open the wrapping, sprinkle all sides with salt, and wrap it up again.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F:

    (190°C). Move a rack to the center of the oven, and place the other one underneath.

  3. Insert slivers of garlic into the roast:

    Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Use the tip of a sharp knife to make 8 to 10 small incisions around the roast. Put a sliver of garlic into each cut.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Insert slivers of garlic into the roast:
  4. Rub the roast with olive oil, then season:

    Rub olive oil all over the roast. Sprinkle it all around with salt and pepper.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Rub the roast with olive oil, then season:
  5. Put the roast on the rack with a pan below:

    Place the roast directly on the middle oven rack, fatty side up, with a roasting pan to catch the drippings on the rack beneath it.

    Placing the roast directly on the rack like this with a pan on the rack below creates a convection type environment in the oven, allowing the hot air to more easily circulate around the roast, so you don't have to turn the roast as it cooks.

    Place the roast, fat-side up so that as the fat bathes the entire roast in flavor as it melts.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Put the roast on the rack with a pan below:
  6. Brown at 375°F, then lower the heat to 225°F:

    Cook the roast initially at 375°F (190°C) for half an hour, to brown it. Then lower the heat to 225°F (107°C). The roast should take somewhere from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours more to cook.

    The shape of the roast will affect the cooking time. If your roast is long and narrow, rather than a more round shape, it may take less time to cook, so keep an eye on it.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Brown at 375°F, then lower the heat to 225°F:
  7. Roast to an internal temp of 135°F to 140°F:

    When juices start to drip from the roast, and it is browned on the outside, check the roast's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven when the internal temperature of the roast is 135°F to 140°F (for medium rare meat).

  8. Make the gravy as the roast rests:

    Place the roast on a cutting board and tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting. (Resting the cooked roast is important. If you cut into it too soon, the roast will lose more of its juices.)

    To make the gravy: Remove the dripping pan from the oven and place on the stove top at medium heat. Note that if you are pulling the roast out early, for rare or a medium rare level of doneness, you may not have a lot of drippings. Hopefully you will have some. If not, you may want to leave the roast in a little longer at even lower heat, 175°F, to ease some more drippings out of it.

    Add some water, red wine, or beef stock to the drippings to deglaze (loosen the drippings from the pan). Dissolve a tablespoon of cornstarch in a little water and add to the drip pan. Stir quickly while the gravy thickens to avoid lumping.

    You can add a little butter if there is not a lot of fat in the drippings. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mom adds some fresh thyme too if she has some.

  9. Slice and serve:

    After the roast has had a chance to rest a bit (and reabsorb its juices), thinly slice the roast to serve. (A sturdy long bread knife works well for slicing roasts.)

    Pour the gravy over the slices or serve on the side.

Pork Crown Roast

Pork Crown Roast - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the pork roast and let it come to temperature:

    Mix together the roast seasonings of thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Rub all over the pork roast. Let roast sit (wrapped) at room temperature for an hour before roasting.

  2. Start the stuffing:

    Heat a large sauté pan on medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the pan, add the cubed bread, and stir to coat the bread pieces with the melted butter. Let bread cubes toast; only turn them when they have become a little browned on a side.

    Start the stuffing:
  3. Brown the sausage:

    Heat a large (4- to 6-quart) pan on medium heat. Breaking off inch-sized chunks, add the Italian sausage to the pan, taking care not to crowd the bottom of the pan.

    Do not stir, just let cook until lightly browned on one side, then flip the sausage over and brown on the other side. When lightly browned, use a slotted spoon to remove, set aside.

    Brown the sausage:
  4. Cook the onions and apples:

    You should have at least a tablespoon of fat in the pan, if not, add some butter. Heat the pan to medium high. Add the onions and celery and cook until onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

    Add the chopped apples and cook for a few minutes more.

    Cook the onions and apples:
  5. Combine the stuffing:

    Add back in the browned sausage, the butter-toasted bread cubes, parsley, thyme, and sage. Gently mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

  6. Prepare the roasting pan and stuff the roast:

    Place the crown roast in a shallow roasting pan. Fill the center of the crown loosely with stuffing (do not pack in the stuffing).

    Whatever extra stuffing you have, place in a separate, buttered, oven proof pan.

    Cover the tips of the ribs with aluminum foil to prevent scorching of the bones.

    Add one cup water to the pan.

  7. Roast the pork:

    Roast the pork at 350°F on middle rack of oven. Cover the stuffing with foil after about 30 minutes.

    Cook until a meat thermometer inserted deep into center of meat (do not touch bones, which are on the outside of the roast) registers 145°F, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours total.

  8. Bake extra stuffing:

    Add 1/2 cup of water to the remaining stuffing, and bake it (next to or under roast, starting 30 minutes before roast is done, or while the roast is resting), covered with foil for 30 minutes.

  9. Let the pork rest:

    Transfer pork to a platter and let stand 20 minutes.

  10. Carve:

    To carve the pork, steady the roast with a fork, with a large sharp knife, cut down through each rib to detach the pork chops.

Chef John's Roast Turkey and Gravy

Chef John's Roast Turkey and Gravy - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Mix together kosher salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. Tuck turkey wings under bird and season the cavity with about 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning mixture. Reserve remaining poultry seasoning mixture.

  3. Toss together onions, celery, and carrots in a large bowl. Stuff about 1/2 cup vegetable mixture, sage, and rosemary sprigs into the turkey cavity. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Use your fingers or a small spatula to loosen skin over turkey breast. Place about 2 tablespoons butter under skin and spread evenly. Spread remaining 6 tablespoons butter all over the outside of skin. Sprinkle turkey with remaining poultry seasoning mix.

  4. Spread remaining vegetable mixture into a large roasting pan. Place turkey on top of vegetables. Fill the pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Shape a sheet of aluminum foil over breast of turkey.

  5. Roast turkey in the preheated oven until no longer pink near the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 ½ hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove the foil during the last hour of cooking and baste turkey with pan juices.

  6. While turkey is roasting, make stock: Place neck and giblets in a medium saucepan with water and bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours. Strain stock and discard neck and giblets. There should be at least 4 cups of stock. Set stock aside.

  7. Remove turkey from the oven. Carefully pour pan juices, about 3 cups, into a shallow bowl. Skim off turkey fat from pan juices, reserving about 2 tablespoons fat. Set aside pan juices. Cover turkey with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

  8. While turkey is resting, make gravy: Heat 2 tablespoons reserved turkey fat and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Transfer onion from the roasting pan into the skillet. Cook and stir until onion is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; cook and stir for about 5 minutes more. Whisk in 4 cups stock and reserved pan juices until smooth; skim off any foam. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Simmer, whisking constantly, until gravy is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in sage; season with salt and black pepper.

Instructions

  1. Mix garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme into a paste; rub all over beef roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

  2. Place two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to cover the beef roast on a baking sheet. Place beef roast on the foil sheets.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 18 minutes.

  4. Remove from the oven; fold up the foil so it wraps the roast then return it to the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and roast for one hour.

  5. After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center.

  6. Remove roast and set it on a cutting board to rest.

  7. Transfer any drippings from roast into a saucepan; stir in red wine and beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/4.

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add whole garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; reserve oil.

  2. Turn pork loin fat-side down. Slit lengthwise, almost but not quite all the way through, to form a long pocket, leaving a 1/2-inch border of unslit meat at each end. Brush cavity with some of the reserved garlic cooking oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and 1 Tb. of the rosemary. Line cavity with sauteed garlic and apricots; sprinkle in cranberries. Tie loin together with kitchen twine or heavy-duty string at 1 1/2-inch intervals.

  3. Brush with remaining oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set roast, fat-side up, diagonally or curved (so it fits) on a large, lipped cookie sheet or jellyroll pan. Warm 1/4 cup apple jelly along with the minced garlic and remaining rosemary. Brush mixture onto meat.

  4. Roast until a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 125 to 130 degrees. (Start checking at about 1 1/2 hours.) Remove from oven; raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush loin with pan drippings, return to oven, and continue to roast until the loin is golden brown and a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 20 minutes longer. For even more attractive coloring, broil until spotty brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Let roast rest 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a carving board. Stir juices around pan to loosen brown bits. Pour through a strainer into a small pan, and stir in port, chicken broth and remaining 2 Tbs. of jelly; bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold water; whisk into sauce. Simmer until lightly thickened. Slice pork and serve with a little sauce.

Roast Leg of Lamb

Roast Leg of Lamb - roast recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade:

    Blend marinade ingredients in a blender, just a few pulses until well mixed.

  2. Marinate the lamb:

    Place lamb and marinade into a plastic bag. Squeeze out as much of the air as possible from the bag and seal. Wrap again with another plastic bag to ensure that the marinating lamb doesn't leak.

    Marinate for several hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator.

    Remove the lamb, still in its marinade bag, from the refrigerator at least an hour (preferably two) before putting in the oven. This helps bring the lamb closer to room temperature before roasting.

    Marinate the lamb:
  3. Preheat the oven:

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange two racks in the oven - a middle rack to hold the lamb, and a lower rack to hold a roasting pan with which to catch the drippings.

    Note that this arrangement of racks and pans, with the roast sitting directly on the oven rack, will create a natural convection of heat in the oven, causing the roast to cook more quickly than if cooked the traditional method in a rack in a roasting pan.

  4. Season the lamb and place in the oven:

    Remove the lamb roast from its marinade bag (you may want to temporarily place lamb in another roasting pan, just to make it less messy to work with). Pat dry the marinade off the lamb with paper towels.

    Generously salt and pepper all sides of the roast. Arrange the roast fattiest side up, so the fat will melt into the meat while the lamb cooks.

    Place the roast directly on middle rack of the oven. Place a roasting pan on a separate rack a rung lower to catch the drippings. You may also want to put some water in the bottom roasting pan, so the drippings fall into the water instead of burning in the hot pan and smoking up your kitchen.

    Season the lamb and place in the oven:
  5. Roast the lamb:

    Roast at 425°F for 20 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 300°F and roast an additional 40 minutes (for a 6-pound boneless roast) to 60 minutes (for a 6-pound bone-in roast). If you are cooking a roast bone-in, the bone will act as an insulator and will require a longer cooking time than a boneless roast.

    In general, estimate 10 to 13 minutes per pound for total cooking time (for rare), including that first 20 minutes at high heat. (Assuming you let the roast sit out for an hour or two before putting it in the oven. If it's right out of the fridge, it will take longer to cook.)

    If you are cooking the roast directly in a roasting pan, start the roast at 450°F. After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 325°F.

    Also, the shape of the roast will have an impact on the cooking time. Our roast was rather long and thin, so it cooked up fairly quickly. A thicker roast may take longer than expected.

  6. Cook until medium rare:

    About 20 minutes before you expect the roast to be done, start checking the roast using a meat thermometer. Note that every time you open the oven door, you'll need 10 minutes or so to bring the oven back up to temperature, thus slowing down the cooking process. So, don't check too often, or use a remote meat thermometer.

    Remove the roast from the oven anywhere from 125°F to 135°F for medium rare. Lamb should never be cooked well done or it will be too dry.

  7. Let the roast rest:

    Let stand for 25 to 30 minutes before carving (so the juices don't all run out when you cut into it). Cut away the kitchen string and slice with a sharp carving knife, 1/2 inch thick slices, against the grain of the meat.

    Let the roast rest:
  8. Collect the drippings for gravy or sauce:

    While the roast is resting, use a metal spatula to scrape up the drippings in the roasting pan. Use the drippings to make a gravy, or use just the drippings themselves to serve with the lamb.

    Serve with some mint chimichurri or homemade mint jelly on the side.
