- Cook over low heat for 3 hours 30 minutes, skimming every 30 minutes. After 3 hours of cooking, add the peeled and halved potatoes and the marrow bones.

CLASSIC FRENCH POT AU FEU - CROCK POT OR LE CREUSET
Pot au Feu is French for "pot on the fire". In other words, a stew or stock pot which is left cooking over the fire. In previous times, it may simply have been a cooking pot which was left over the fire, into which was thrown whatever food and scraps happened to be available. Often the meat was either scraps, or relatively poor cuts which needed a long time to cook in order to be tender. In historical terms, it was a dish for relatively poor people. Today in France, you can buy "pot au feu" meat. Expect this to be meat which reflects the historical background of this dish: relatively inexpensive and inferior cuts, which will soften with long slow cooking. While such meat is quite adequate for a Pot au Feu, feel free to use better cuts if you wish. As a Pot au Feu is historically a stew-like dish of whatever meat and vegetables were available, there are no absolute guidelines about what it should contain. However, in general it will contain beef, some bones (such as ox-tail), vegetables (such as potatoes, carrots, onions, leeks, turnips) and herbs.

Steps:
- Crock Pot:.
- Combine all ingredients with the beef stock and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Taste and adjust seasonings. Put the beef on platter and surround with the vegetables. Keep warm. Strain broth, skimming off fat, and add the flour - mix well and heat up gently until thickened. Serve separately in a gravy boat. Slice meat and serve accompanied with pickles and horseradish, French bread and butter.
- Traditional:.
- Brown meat in frying pan, adding salt and pepper. Sprinkle a little flour over the meat while turning over. Place meat into oven proof casserole dish or le Creuset.
- Briefly fry bacon, onions & garlic. Add the carrots and then the leeks and beef stock. Bring to the boil. Put everything into a large le Creuset or casserole dish, adding the turnips and potatoes last.
- Cook at low temperature (150C/300F) for about 5 hours or until the meat falls of the bone.
- Slice meat and serve accompanied with pickles and horseradish, French bread and butter. Serve the thickened jus in a gravy boat.
- Notes:.
- Depending on the meat being used, a Pot au Feu can be very rich. If you would like a leaner version, prepare it the day before and allow to cook overnight. Once cooled the fat will rise to the surface and it can be skimmed off. The dish can then be re-warmed.
- For a Pot au Feu with a Mediterranean flavour, modify the recipe by reducing the amount of meat, increasing the amount of vegetables and adding more herbs.

VEGETABLE POT AU FEU
This vegetable dish is good served with cornichons, tiny sour onions, hot mustard, mayonnaise; and French bread. The broth is usually reserved for the next day, when it is cooked with tiny pasta to make a rich soup. This recipe was adapted from "France, The Vegetarian Table".

CHEAT'S FRENCH CASSOULET - CROCK POT OR LE CREUSET
This great Cheat's recipe has all the elements of a traditional French Cassoulet - assorted meats, beans, carrots, tomatoes, wine & tomatoes - but is very easy & does not include Confit d'Canard if you find that difficult to obtain. However, you need to get hold of high meat content sausages to give it a more authentic taste. I have given a few variations at the bottom of the recipe; this recipe works extremely well in a Crock pot as well as the more traditional Le Creuset casserole dishes. French comfort food at it's best! Serve with mashed potatoes & crisp Savoy Cabbage. This recipe can be easily doubled for bigger or hungry crowds of diners! NOTE on BEANS: I use tinned/canned beans or pre-soaked and cooked beans in this recipe; for uncooked beans, you will need to soak them overnight and then boil them; then increase the cooking time by about 15 minutes. This was posted as a "Cheat's" recipe, meaning cutting a few corners if you don't have time - i.e. use tinned beans!! P.S. I have a sausage recipe posted: Recipe #190045 that would work well with this recipe.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet - fry the bacon until nearly crisp & then add the onions, garlic, & carrots. Cook over a high heat until they are just soft on the outside & turning a golden colour. Drain well & remove from pan. Add to crock pot or Le Creuset casserole dish.
- Add sausages and brown - remove & add to onion mixture.
- Add pork chop pieces & brown - remove and add to above mixture.
- Make up chicken stock and add wine. Mix tomatoes in with stock & teaspoon of sugar.
- Pour stock and tomatoes over the cassoulet in crock pot or le creuset - add bouquet garni & give everything a good stir!
- Add the beans and stir well again.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and cook for up to 6 hours on high in crock pot or in le cresuet for 3 hours in a slow oven with the lid on, 150C/300°F.
- Half an hour before serving, take lid of le creuset to brown the top. It's difficult to brown in a crock pot, but it's not that essential to brown the top, as the reason behind the breadcrumbs is to soak up some of the juice & make a crust on top! If your crock pot is the type which you can put under the grill, then do so!
- Serve with mountains of fluffy mashed potatoes & stir-fried Savoy Cabbage.
- NOTE ON SAUSAGES:.
- Try to use very good quality high meat content sausages; in France Toulouse sausages are mainly used - they generally have a meat content of at least 85%. Good quality English style sausages are also good - I have a recipe posted for some English sausages: Recipe #190045.
- However, any kind of sausage can be used and in the past I have used: Choritzo, Italian Style, Chipolatas etc.
- The Pork chops can be replaced with chicken pieces, lamb steaks or Confit D'Canard - preserved duck, if you are lucky enought to have some!

DOUFEU SLOW COOKED SHOULDER OR LEG OF LAMB
For this recipe you will need a Doufeu. Le Creuset make really good ones, but they are a bit expensive. If you can afford it, it is so worth it; the meat melts in your mouth and is so full of flavour, plus it is the healthiest way to cook any joint which you would normally roast. If you do not have a Doufeu, you can achieve the same results using an ordinary roasting tray sealed with foil or casserole with a lid and cooked in the oven at a low heat for several hours, you will need to use oil instead of wine. Unfortunately, this will make the recipe much less healthy.

Steps:
- Thouroughly season the meat with salt and pepper.
- Heat a very small amount of oil in the base of the Doufeu and use this to seal the meat.
- Put half the rosemary and garlic cloves in the base of the Doufeu, add the meat and put the rest of the rosemary and garlic on top. Pour over the wine and place the carrot and celery on either side of the meat.
- Put the lid on the Doufeu and fill the reservoir with water or ice. You should not need to refill the reservoir, if you do, you have the ring on too high a heat.
- After ten or so minutes, turn the heat down to its lowest setting and leave to cook for at least four hours.
- Once cooked to your satisfaction, remove the meat and other ingredients from the Doufeu. Strain the rich liquid from the bottom of the Doufeu and use to make your delicious gravy.
- The lamb is best served with mashed potatoes and veg of your choice.

- In a large pot, combine the onion and half each of the leeks, celery and carrots. Set the beef shanks and rump roast on top of the vegetables. Wrap the parsley, thyme and bay leaves in a piece of moistened cheesecloth and tie into a bundle. Add the bundle to the pot along with the peppercorns and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt.

- Add the remaining leeks, celery and carrots to the broth along with the parsnips, turnips and rutabagas. Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are just tender, 30 minutes. Add the remaining 6 to 8 marrow bones and the potatoes. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 40 minutes.
