Corned Beef from Marin Sun

We acquired a nice chunk of corned beef from Marin Sun this weekend at the market. This spiced slab of meat was simply put in our crock pot and filled with water.

The slow cooker was left on high for 3 hours then low for 7 hours. 2 hours before we ate the delicious meat I tossed in some potatoes and cabbage to cook in the juices.

Served with kohlrabi cole slaw on St. Patrick Eve

Goat Stew

Here's my recipe below of a locally sourced cheap meal.
It cost about $15 and serves 4.

Goat Stew

1 lb. goat stew meat (Marin Sun Farms $8.00)
1 lb potatoes (Little Organic Farm $2.00)
1 yellow onion (Chue's Farm $.50)
3 ribs celery (Jacopi Farm $.50)
4 medium carrots (McGinnis Ranch $1.00)
2 cloves garlic (Chue's Farm $.25)
1-2 dried tomatoes, ground ( Peach Farm last year. home dried)
3 cups stock
1 cup Arrogant Bastard Ale (gift from a friend)
Sprig of rosemary (from garden)
Salt and Pepper

Brown the goat in a pan. I used some bacon grease from Prather bacon.
Fry the onions and garlic in the leftover grease. Put everything in
the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours. Garnish with parsley.

Served with a small green salad and a hearty chunk of bread.
