Red wine braised beef cheeks
Okay so the photo isn't too good but tonight's dinner was sensational!!
It is something I have wanted to cook for a few months. I had purchased the main ingredient a few weeks ago but didn't work out to cook it then so they went in the freezer.
I had inadvertently ordered the same ingredient at our local butcher which I picked up on Monday ... again I couldn't cook it straight away so it went in the freezer until this morning :-)
So what are "they" you are wondering?
Beef cheeks ... yes as they sound the cheeks of the beef!! LOL
I have seen a lot of recipes in cooking magazines recently and thought I would love to cook them.
I found this recipe ... Red wine braised beef cheeks in Donna Hay Issue 63 (June / July 2012) and gave it a try.
The original recipe was served with Paris mash but I decided to try polenta and green beans ... it was delicious and I would highly recommend them :-)
It was an easy recipe and the results were a beautiful winter meal :-)
I can't find the recipe on line but Googled similar recipes ... give it a try :-)
Locally the Cummins Butcher will get them arranged for you and I also bought them at the Gourmet Butcher in Port Lincoln. The ones I cooked tonight were from Cummins and were magnificent :-)
