Boiled beef
- 12. Apr 2015
Ms Aitch and Mr El like to eat meat. But it must be good quality and they want to celebrate it consciously.
Steph from the blog Kleiner Kuriositätenladen starts a campaign about sensible eating and consumption of meat, it calls "Save the Sunday roast". That's exactly what Ms Aitch and Mr El are living for in Ye Olde Kitchen: Eat less meat and eat it consciously and enjoy it.
Some facts about the behavior of eating meat in Ye Olde Kitchen:
Ms Aitch and Mr El have a calendar which hangs in the kitchen. Whenever they eat something including meat they tag it there. So they can visualize how much meat they eat. Sometimes people laugh about that, but it doesn't matter.
Last november Ms Aitch and Mr El went to the open-air museum Hohenlohe in Wackersrode to see how to slaughter a pig. They believe that everyone who wants to eat meat should see this.
Every week Ms Aitch and Mr El receive a farmer's crate with seasonal vegetables from the organic farm Braun. This is the basis for their weekly cooking sessions. Sometimes they order cheese, fruits and meat there. They ordered a package of beef in november and are still excited about the quality. The farm brought a package with different vacuum-packed pieces of beef. Ms Aitch and Mr El created different delicious meals with the beef like beef olives, Szegediner goulash and this recipe for boiled beef. Mr El takes it with horseradish sauce and Ms Aitch eats broth with meat, potatoes and vegetables.
So eat meat consciously and not too much. You don't have to eat meat everyday. Ms Aitch and Mr El have a credo: eat seasonal and regional, eat in moderation and eat varied!

Das sieht großartig aus!
Ich hab vor zwei Wochen meinen ersten Tafelspitz zubereitet, auch mit Meerrettichsauce und war sofort hin und weg. Dieses zarte und gar nicht trockene Fleisch, dazu die leckere Meerrettichsauce - ein Traum!
Am liebsten würde ich direkt bei Dir einkehren und mir eine Portion sichern :o)
Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Beitrag!
