Stage 1 Chuck Roast

Slow-Cooker Pot Roast: 3lb Beef Chuck
Roast by I Believe I Can Fry, on Flickr

Stage 1 is pretty much broth, boiled meat and boiled vegetables.

While I don't know how long I'll need to be on stage 1, my meal plans are done a week at a time, as I need the assistance of my HHA to shop and cook. So I'm committed to at least a week.

So I have several large recipes planned for stage 1 and this 6-serving pot roast is the first.

ingredients

• 3 lb chuck roast
• 6 cups beef broth
• 3 cups chopped carrots
• 2 cups chopped leeks
• 2 cups cubed squash
• 2 cups English peas

method

• Place 1 TB water in bottom of crockpot. Add roast and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours.
• Let cool enough to handle, then shred the meat.
• Meanwhile, in Dutch oven, bring broth to boil and add the carrots, leeks & squash. Lower heat to simmer and cook until tender.
• Buzz the vegetables with a stick blender until smooth (or blend in batches in blender).
• Add the shredded meat and the liquid from crockpot, then add the peas and continue simmering until peas are done.

6 servings

For each serving, add 1 TB whey, 1 tsp sauerkraut juice and 1 pressed clove garlic.
