Irish Pot-Roasted Chicken Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 chicken, about 4.5 lb
4 oz oatmeal
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp stock
1 salt and pepper
6 oz bacon
3 med. onions, sliced
2 lb potatoes
1 seasoned flour
3 tbsp dripping or oil
4 med. carrots, sliced
Recipe Preparation
If there are giblets with the bird, take them out, wash all but the
liver (reserve that for another use), and cover with water, add salt
and pepper, bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour. Wipe the
bird inside and out and remove any lumps of fat from the inside;
sprinkle with salt. Mix together the oatmeal, chopped onion, butter
or suet, stock, and seasoning, stuff the bird with this mixture and
secure well. Heat the dripping or oil and lightly fry the bacon, then
chop and put into a casserole. Quickly brown the bird in the same fat
and put on top of the bacon. Soften the onion and briefly saute the
carrots, then add to the casserole. . Strain the giblet stock and
make it up to about 1/2 liter. Heat and pour over the chicken. Cover
and cook in a moderate oven (350C) for about an hour. . Meanwhile,
cut the potatoes into thick slices and blanch them in boiling water,
or steam them for about 5 minutes. Toss them in seasoned flour and
add them to the casserole, adding a little more of the giblet stock
if needed. Cover with buttered wax paper and continue cooking for
another 1/2 hour, taking off the paper for the last few minutes for
browning.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tipsIn deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
* Don't skip meals Most low carbohydrate recipes are, rather obviously, low in carbs. Our bodies need energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet requires extreme care in managing your intake of energy, as any energy provided by protein and fat is slower acting.
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for breaded foods. While you can sometimes buy reduced carb bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is toast the low carbohydrate bread in a preheated oven on a sheet of cookie paper. Once it is well toasted, process it in your food processor or blender. Keep in a tupperware container.
