AWESOME RED WINE POT ROAST



Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast image

I call this my 'famous Seamus' pot roast because my tiny Siamese cat, Seamus, sat in the kitchen the entire time this pot roast was cooking. I've been making this recipe for 40+ years and I just throw the ingredients together; it's very forgiving. My son-in-law also says it's the best thing he ever ate. When boys hang around the oven, it can't be bad.

1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
12 ounces linguine

1 1/2 lbs small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • To make the Essence: Place all the ingredients, salt through paprika, in a bowl and stir well to combine thoroughly. Store in and airtight container and use as needed. (about 2/3 cup).
  • To make the Pasta Dish: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes for dry pasta. Drain in a colander. Return to pot and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cover and keep warm while finishing the recipe.
  • While the pasta is cooking, in a large sauté pan, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour off the fat from the pan.
  • Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and shallots and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, green onions, and 1 tablespoon of the Essence, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine and cook until almost completely reduced.

Tips:

  • Choose the right red wine: Not all red wines are created equal. When making red wine essence, it's important to choose a wine that is full-bodied and has a strong flavor profile. Some good options include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.
  • Reduce the wine slowly and carefully: The key to making a good red wine essence is to reduce the wine slowly and carefully. This will allow the flavors to concentrate and develop.
  • Don't boil the wine: Boiling the wine will ruin the flavor of the essence. Instead, simmer it gently over low heat.
  • Use a non-reactive saucepan: When making red wine essence, it's important to use a non-reactive saucepan. This means a saucepan that is made of stainless steel, glass, or ceramic. Reactive saucepans, such as those made of aluminum or copper, can react with the wine and cause it to taste metallic.
  • Store the essence properly: Once you've made your red wine essence, it's important to store it properly. The best way to do this is to store it in a cool, dark place. You can also freeze the essence for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Red wine essence is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be added to sauces, marinades, glazes, and even desserts. It's a great way to add a rich, flavorful depth to your favorite recipes. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your food, reach for a bottle of red wine and make a batch of red wine essence.
