Ah, now. Engine blocks are tough cuts, and require plenty of cooking.airboatr wrote: I agree, what about the engine block??
Bring a good stock to the simmer and add the diced engine block, along with diced onions, carrots and leaks.
Cover and simmer for 4 to 5 hours.
Meanwhile, peel and quarter 6 good sized 'King Edward' potatoes and make some herbed dumplings.
Approx 40 mins before the engine block is ready add the potatoes and dumplings.
Serve with a good crusty bread and a fine ale.
