Spiffy's Pinterest Picks: 4 Christmas Roast Beasts
This is one of my favorite parts of any Christmas movie ever!
"He brought everything back, all the food for the feast, and he... He himself, the Grinch... carved the roast beast." How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Such a heart-warming scene! Also a scene that makes me hungry. Just the words "roast beast" bring to mind images of deliously cooked meats. I can just imagine huge cuts of beef roast, a whole duck, oxtail, pork loin. So, today I thought I'd share my Pinterest Picks for your Christmas feast! If you are wondering where to buy good, quality meats (and you are local to the Birmingham area) check out Bottle & Bone. Bottle & Bone has locally sourced meat including, rib roast, free-range chicken, quail, ham and much more. They have amazing specials and today is the last day to order your roast beast for Christmas! Whole Foods Market also has great selections if you are not in the Bham area. Once you purchase a great piece of meat I hope you will use one of these great recipes to create a Christmas Feast!
1. Standing Rib Roast from A Spicy Perspecitve
This standing rib roast is cooked at a high temp to form a tasty crust and then cooked at a lower temp to get the perfect pink center. This recipe is great for Christmas. Check it out at A Spicy Perspective.
2. Crispy Duck Legs with Braised Vegetables from All Day I Dream About Food
