Beef Roast Transformed-Rendang Curry

Beef roast is a humble and delicious cut (when treated properly), and yet it has pretty much been relegated to the realm of pot roasts and stroganoufs.  Of course there is nothing wrong with these comforting classics, but what of beef roasts that have bigger dreams?  Dreams of being simmered slowly in a broth of coconut milk and fragrant Indonesian spices.  Well for one lucky beef roast, this dream came true.

Gobble, gobble y'all-Braised Turkey Legs

I'll be honest here.  Before this recipe, I never really thought about buying turkey legs.  Sure I eat turkey on holidays and the occasional turkey sandwich, but beyond that I'd have to say I had a pretty turkey free diet.


I happened across these gams one day in Wholefoods for the criminally low price of $.89 a pound.  They looked good, so I figured why not?


This was possibly one of the happiest accidents I've ever had.  These legs were delicious, and the sauce produced was just gorgeous.  So rich, complex, and velvety smooth.  Seriously though, this recipe is definitely one of the best I've ever made.  So the next time you're cruising the poultry section at your local grocer, take a break from chicken and give these over sized drumsticks a try.
