I've found a brand new way to waste precious hours in my day, it's called Jib Jab and my friend Jane showed it to me last night at Thanksgiving. We spent most of the evening laughing at the new "home videos"!
Today was a quiet day, ate leftover turkey dinner sandwiches and made lentil soup tonight with ox tails. The recipe is really easy:
Heat a soup pan on high, add a little olive oil and cubes of frozen garlic. Season the ox tails with salt and pepper. When the oil shimmers, add the ox tails and saute for a few minutes, until they begin to brown on all sides. While the ox tails brown, dice an onion, a few stalks of celery, and a handful of carrots. Add them to the pot, another pinch of salt and pepper, a dried bay leaf, and a pinch of dried oregano.
Add a 32 ox. box of chicken stock and 1 1/2-2 C. of dried lentils. Stir to combine, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Soup takes about 45 minutes to cook. Make sure the heat isn't too hot, you just want a nice low bubble. Remove bay leaf and season to taste before serving. It's delicious, healthy and really easy.
Enjoy Jib Jab!
