Need Potluck ideas!
Comments (9)This one is not as "putzy" as it looks. the flavor is phenomenal! I can't see why you couldn't combine rice or noodles with it just before serving. Beef Daube Provençal Ingredients 2 teaspoons olive oil 12 garlic cloves, crushed 1 (2-pound) boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 1 cup red wine 2 cups chopped carrot 1 1/2 cups chopped onion 1/2 cup less-sodium beef broth 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme Dash of ground cloves 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained 1 bay leaf 3 cups hot cooked medium egg noodles (about 4 cups uncooked noodles) Chopped fresh thyme (optional) Preparation Preheat oven to 300°.

Comments (12)Or seed the zucchini and make gratin. I might peel them too, if they are very large and tough: Gratin of Zucchini and Tomatoes (Eating Well) 3 cloves garlic, crushed 2/3 cup fresh basil leaves 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip), divided 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia 3 large ripe tomatoes, diced 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3 medium zucchini (about 1 3/4 pounds total), sliced on the bias about 1/4 inch thick Freshly ground pepper to taste 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or similar gratin dish) with cooking spray. 2. Place garlic, basil and thyme on your chopping board; mince well. Spread half the breadcrumbs evenly in the prepared baking dish. Strew onion over the breadcrumbs. Distribute half the diced tomato over the onion, then sprinkle with half the garlic-herb mixture. Sprinkle with vinegar and 1/8 teaspoon salt. 3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a third of the zucchini; you want it to sauté, not stew, so don't crowd it. Sauté, turning the pieces once, until golden and not quite tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. When the slices are done, use a fork to transfer them to the gratin, overlapping the slices. Cook the remaining zucchini in two batches, each time using 2 teaspoons oil. Strew the remaining tomatoes and garlic-herb mixture over the zucchini. Season with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper. Toss the remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle over the gratin. 4. Bake the gratin until bubbly hot, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan.
