Braising

Braising is a wonderful way to transform tougher cuts of meat and hearty vegetables into tender, flavorful dishes. It’s a two-step process that combines dry and moist heat. First, you sear the food in a hot pan to create a flavorful crust. This initial browning adds depth and complexity to the final dish. Then, you gently simmer the food in liquid, which typically doesn’t fully submerge it, allowing the tougher proteins and fibers to break down and become meltingly tender.

While a braising pot or Dutch oven is ideal, you can braise in any pot with a tight-fitting lid. Slow cookers and pressure cookers also work well, offering convenience and faster cooking times. Braising, sometimes called pot roasting, is perfect for tougher meats like chuck roast or lamb shanks, as well as hearty vegetables like carrots and potatoes. The end result is a dish that’s rich, flavorful, and comforting – perfect for a cozy meal!
