Roasted Vegetable Cornucopias With Gravy Recipes

POT ROAST AND VEGETABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place roast in a pan and season with tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, salt and onion salt. Put 1 1/2-inches of water in the bottom of the pan. Surround the roast with 1/2-inch cubes or stew cuts of fresh vegetables.
• Cover the roast pan with another interlocking roast pan of the same size and roast for 2 hours. Then turn over and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Separate the vegetables from the natural gravy stock. Pour the stock into a heavy gauge pot. Scrape the bottom of the roast pan and add to stock. You should have about 3 quarts of stock, if not add bouillon broth.
• Simmer and skim off the fat, then put 1 1/2 pints of the stock in a pan and add flour and whip until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering stock until a smooth thickness is achieved. Add the roasted vegetables to the gravy.
• Boil or steam potatoes until well done. Place in a mixing bowl and add the above ingredients. Whip, then serve.
• Rice potatoes through fine hole attachment. Dice onions fine in buffalo chopper and add to potatoes. Combine this with eggs, salt, parsley and white pepper. Add 2 pounds of flour and check consistency then add baking powder. If batter seems too loose or watery, add more flour until thick but not too stiff. In a large skillet, add enough vegetable oil so that when melted it will equal about 1/8-inch in bottom. Oil must be very hot before using or pancakes will turn out greasy. Spoon batter into pan about 2 ounce ovals. When brown, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

ROASTED VEGETABLE CORNUCOPIAS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• MAKE CORNUCOPIAS: Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Fold 6 18"-long aluminum foil sheets into quarters. Roll each one into a cone. Bend the "tail" end of the foil cone, if desired.
• In bowl, beat egg with 1 tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Place 1 puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently pull the ends to stretch it to 10 inches wide. Cut the pastry dough into twenty 1/2-inch strips. Loosely wrap 1 of the strips around the pointed end of the foil cone. Spiral the pastry strip around the cone, overlapping the edges as you wrap. Add a new strip by brushing the end of the pastry strip with the egg wash to adhere. Wrap the foil cone with 4 more strips of pastry, gluing with the egg wash as you wrap.
• Place the cones on their sides on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
• Allow to cool before gently pulling the foil cones away from the cornucopias.
• MAKE THE GRAVY: In a pan heat oil. Add onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover. Cook 1/2 hour, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
• Uncover, increase the heat to medium, and cook 7-10 more minutes, or until browned and carmelized. Add wine. Simmer 2-3 minutes or until 2/3 of the liquid is evaporated. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, marjoram, thyme,and 2 1/2 cups water. Reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain into a large measuring cup.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add flour and cook until the flour turns golden (about 5 minutes). Whisk in the strained vegetable liquid. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.
• MAKE THE VEGETABLES: Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Toss all the vegetable ingredients (cauliflower, squash, zucchini, carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, olive oil, sage, marjoram, thyme, salt and pepper) in a large bowl and mix together.
• Spread the vegetable mixture on a large baking sheet. Roast 30-35 minutes, or until brown and tender, turning every 10 minutes.
• ASSEMBLE CORNUCOPIAS: Toss the vegetables with the gravy and fill the cornucopias.

VEGGIE GRAVY

Steps:

• Gently cook the veg, herbs and butter in a pan for 10-12 mins until the vegetables start to brown. Scatter over the sugar and continue to cook for 1-2 mins until a little caramelised. Stir in the flour and combine well. Add the Marmite, if using, tomato purée and vinegar. Pour over the stock a little at a time stirring as you go.
• Simmer everything together until you have a thickened sauce, this will take about 30 mins. Sieve, then add soy sauce and a touch more Marmite to season and colour, if you like. Will freeze for up to two months.

ROAST WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in stock pot over medium heat; sear roast in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove roast from pot and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Return seared roast to the stock pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over roast. Add beef bouillon, basil leaves, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
• Bring broth to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, cover stock pot, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard basil leaves. Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil, keeping the broth in the stock pot over medium heat.
• Whisk flour and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk flour mixture into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear; season with salt. Pour about half the gravy over the roast and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving.
