2 cups water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 slices smoked bacon
1 cup veal (meat from the bottom of the water canning jar)
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers and green onions, drained
1 cup sliced onions
4 carrots, sliced
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Pour in bacon grease then add veal. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove veal from skillet, and cut into small pieces.
Stir in roasted beef, tomatoes, green chile peppers, onions, carrots, rice vinegar, oil, and chicken. Stir together well and allow to heat through.
I really loved the concept and turned out amazingly. The problem I have is that most every time I throw this out there is a chorus of criticisms--"It's not very good!", "It's salty!", "It has no character!", etc. Apparently, no one liked it, but I didn't notice. Although, my brothel friend who makes this signature dish always adds extra seasonings and thickets just for her customers' taste. I had no trouble making this dish attractive to little children. Although, I could imagine myself giving it more leeway next time. Just how I like my protein packed meat sandwiches. Oh, I also eat mine with sesame seeds, occasionally grated the small portion that is left over. Although this could be a great fast food on the go, I saved the seitan puree in the freezer to use later in a recipe.
It was okay, I added bread crumbs, but I didn't change anything in it. My husband and I agree that it was ok, just skip the breadcrumbs and butter, and you're good to go.
