Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
Would it be ok to make this without capers?
Absolutely! And it would still be quite tasty.
Capers just taste a bit like pepper. So you could use a bit of large grind black pepper and almost duplicate it.
I made this tonight, which is first Reduction night and served it with the Garlic Roasted Cabbage Steaks. I also served my husband and son some sautéed zucchini and sliced cucumber with it. We all loved the Chicken Piccata and Cabbage. Delicious and so easy.
Sooo happy you enjoyed it!
