AWESOME RED WINE POT ROAST
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.

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.
