I thicken the broth after the fact with a corn starch slurry. The other thing I do, is I puree the onions, celery and garlic in the broth because nobody in my family will eat them and then do the thickening. This adds a flavor boost to the gravy plus I didn't waste any food.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-38547300653485597192015-10-28T08:56:26.565-07:002015-10-28T08:56:26.565-07:00I'll be honest, this didn't wow me.

I added some more seasonings and red wine vinegar to get the flavor right. That being said, the meat and veg were cooked perfectly and I also love that this is a recipe that doesn't use any cream of anything Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-49491754310019783592013-10-06T17:30:18.506-07:002013-10-06T17:30:18.506-07:00I made this today.

We didn't have 8-10 hours so he did it on high for 6 hours. The meat fell apart when served. It was so tender and the flavor was rich and so delicious. We had mushrooms on hand so he threw some in. Also dropped a wedge of cabbage on top just because it was sitting in the fridge. We will definitely make this again.

Tried it last night and it was wonderful!! I too HATE pre-cooking, but I think that searing the cut of meat was a must and gave it such a nice rich flavor. Added a handful of baby reds with the skins on instead of russets because that's what I had on hand.
