Pork and Tomato Ragout

By -

I'm pretty anxious for Autumn, and since we've had a few cooler days, I took advantage and made a stew! This did not come out as red as the photo, which I actually would have liked for pictures sake :) However it still tasted good. I would like to make it again and put some of my own twists in it, but we all enjoyed this and thought it was great for a warm meal.

Pork and Tomato Ragout

2 pounds pork stew meat, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons evoo
1 1/4 cups white wine
2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cinnamon stick
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

(I didn't have the cinnamon stick, so I'm not sure how it would taste with that in. Also I just realized while typing this that I DRAINED my tomatoes, and it says not to, so maybe that would have made a difference with it coming out red)

1. Toss pork with flour. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork and brown on all sides. Transfer to crock pot.

2. Add wine to skillet; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Pour into crock pot.

3. Add all remaining ingredients except parsley. Cover; cook on low 6-8 hours or until pork and potatoes are tender. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Adjust seasonings, if desired, sprinkle with parsley.

Bon Appetite!

Grapefruit Tiramisu

By jeff and alli -
 This ended up being a hit with the family and the missionaries.  I want to tweak the cocoa powder.  Sometimes you would kind of breath it in, which wasn't great, but the flavor of it was fine. I'm going to decrease the cocoa powder by a tad and see how that goes. I also want to try using coconut on top instead of cocoa powder.  Ingredients : 3 large eggs, separated (just using the yolks - save whites for later) 1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons mascarpone 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste 2 grapefruits, finely grated zest and 1 - 1.5 cups juice 1.5 cups of whipping cream 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 package of ladyfinger cookies (we used 24.  some people used 16, some 30) 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting Directions : 1. Have a 1 quart or larger dish at the ready. 2. Put the egg yolks and 1/3 cups sugar into the top of a double boiler. Whisk over medium high heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is 165 degrees. Remove from...
