Recipe taken in the issue for the Crockpot in the Coup de Pouce. I tried this recipe without fennel and basil and we liked it :)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 blade pot roast, diced (2 lb)
1 cup onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups beef stock
1 cup dry red wine or 1 cup beef stock
5 1/2 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca, ground
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 lb tiny new potatoes, cut in half
2 carrots or 2 parsnips, diced
1 fennel, sliced
1 cup basil leaves or 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
Directions:
1. In a skillet, heat oil at medium-high heat. Add beef cubes in many batches, and brown. Put beef cubes in crockpot.
2. Deglaze the skillet. Add onions, garlic and cook 5 minutes or until soften. Add beef stock, wine, tomato paste, tapioca, rosemary and pepper. Bring to boil. Pour mixture in crockpot, add potatoes, carrots, fennel and stir. Cover and cook at low heat 8 to 10 hours.
3. When ready to serve, add basil and stir.
