the other moose roast

this moose roast couldn't be simpler, just peel and chop some root veggies and onions, throw them into a roasting bag (another brand here), tie and season the roast and place on the veggies, close the bag and cut off little bit of a corner to let out steam...







i went heavy with onions







but also used carrots and parsnips. i seasoned everything very lightly (salt, rosemary), those who like salt can add some at the table







cooked in 180C oven for 2hrs, the meat was falling apart. i did roast some red beets as weel, but in a separate bag, they would have made everything reddish (not very appetizing...)

i do like using the bags, there's no messy oven to clean up, all the juices are gathered in the bag and are easy to pour into a sauce pan for making gravy, meats come out juicy (this time mine might have stayed a tad bit too long in the oven...) this kind of cooking works well with all kind of meats, and veggies, too.

  1. So delicious looking!
    I have never used a roasting bag but maybe I should try.
    Was up at the Union Square Market the other day and thought of you.
    If you come back in November you must come to meet Buster.

    all best wishes

  2. thanks, it was...with roasting bags you don't have to clean the oven, which in my book is always a good thing!

    we don't get martha here but i sometimes watch episodes online, i'll be sure to look for the halloween show and for buster. i've even been to a couple of tapings myself and managed to be on tv, for my 5 seconds...

    as for november, i haven't booked tickets yet, but nyc is definitely in the plans, as is meeting buster! i will email you once i know my dates.

    stay safe
