Combination of cooking methods

Braising

Braising is a combined method of roasting and stewing in a pan with a tight fitting lid. The meat should be sealed by browning on all sides and then placed on lightly fried bed of root vegetables. Stock or gravy is added which should cover 2/3rd of the meat. Flavourings and seasoning are added and allowed to cook gently.
