• Put the buffalo roast in the brine and cover with a lid.
• Refrigerate for 48 hours to attain ultimate tenderness.
• After the 48 hours remove the roast from the brine and rinse it off. *Note:The roast might expand during brining like mine did.

HEALTHIER ZAAR CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; grease and flour a 9x13 pan, bundt pan, or about 17 cupcakes.
• 2. Mix powders (except sugar) in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
• 3. In separate bowl, mix eggs, liquids, and sugar; pour into the well of the powder bowl and mix with a large spoon until smooth.
• 4. Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts, and pineapple. Pour into pan or in 1/2 cup increments for cupcakes- batter does not rise all that much.
• 5. Bake (about 45 minutes for a 9x13 pan, or about 17 minutes for cupcakes). Test for doneness with a toothpick or knife before removing from oven.
• 6. Optional cream cheese frosting: 8 oz cream cheese, 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. (Wow. The frosting keeps a long time in the fridge as well.)
• Enjoy! I freeze these individually wrapped in saran wrap (unfrosted) and stored in freezer bags-- mostly to keep us from eating them nonstop when they're fresh. Yes, they really are that good.

DUKKAH CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
• Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 180ºC, and line a baking tray with waxed paper.
• Put all of the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, and give it a few quick pulses, to mix the cheese through evenly (If you're using powdered cheese, you can skip this step, and just put it straight into a bowl, and stir it through with a fork).
• Dip each piece of marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, being sure to coat it thoroughly and evenly.
• Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, and give them a quick spray of olive oil.
• Bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes, then turn them all over, and give them another 15 minutes.
• Serve with Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661), and Herb, Lemon, and Garlic Dressing (#178208).

BUFFALO POT ROAST

Steps:

• Prepare your roast pan by sprinkling some pepper, garlic and salt in the bottom. Not a ton. Just a bit to help with the flavor.
• Quickly brown your roast on both sides in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Set this pan aside to make your gravy later.
• Place your roast in the roast pan and cut small slits randomly along the top but try to keep them evenly spaced. Pour the broth over the roast.
• Combine the sauce ingredients and whisk until it's evenly incorporated. The syrup will make it slightly thicker and that's ok. You want it to cling along the top of your roast.
• Pour it over the roast, especially making sure to get some sauce in the slits. This will help the sauce penetrate and flavor the meat more.
• I did not marinate this, I didn't have time. But I'm sure it will taste even better with at least an hour marinating time. To do that, double the sauce recipe and combine it with the roast in a large ziploc bag. Be sure to turn the roast at least once half way through for an even marinade. Pour the sauce over the meat when you put it in the pan. There is no need to dispose of it as you would with a brine.
• Preheat the oven to 375. Cook the roast, covered for an hour.
• Add your veggies. Cook another hour or until the veggies are tender. Check the liquid occasionally to make sure it isn't getting too low. If it does, the veggies could burn or the roast could dry out. You don't need to drown the veggies. Just be sure there is enough liquid to cover them at least half way.
• If you want to be super lazy, just steam the veggies on the stove top. This doesn't take as much time but you definitely lose some flavor. Or you could steam them on the stove until they're almost done and add them to the roast to let them finish cooking.
• When it's done remove the roast and veggies to a serving platter and bowl. Cover to keep warm.
• Add 4-5 tbsp drippings to the first pan. Slowly add some flour to make a roux, stirring constantly. Make sure to loosen any browned bits, until it's smooth and thickened. Add the rest of the drippings and stir constantly until it's reached the desired consistency.
• If your gravy is too runny, add small amounts of corn starch, stirring constantly, until it's thickened to your liking. If it's already too thick, add a small amount of beef/veggie broth until it's thin enough.
• Pour your gravy into a pretty bowl and serve it with your roast & veggies.
• I served this with a salad, fresh crusty bread & butter, and berries & cream for dessert.
