I went to watch and help
some friends on butchering day earlier this week. We caught and
processed 12 or 13 roosters that needed to be in the freezer before
winter. This one came home with me :-D Instead of traditional
stuffing or roasting it unstuffed, I decided to see what would happen
if I stuffed it only with vegetables.
1c chopped celery
½ a sliced fennel bulb
½ a chopped medium onion
8 quartered Brussels
sprouts
2 fresh sliced carrots
Chop or slice the vegetables into a 2 quart pan with a little butter and water. Simmer just a few minutes to coat the vegetables then stuff into the rooster (or chicken). Top with a couple pats of butter and drizzle with a little olive oil or a mix of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Roast, covered 2 hours, or until the meat is well cooked and the bones are loose, between 350° and 375°. Baste several times during cooking. . .Lin
