The fM E1: Braised Pork Shank and Twice-Baked Potato by Chef Fred Harold

By Matt Flint Translated by Ann Lee

Fred Harold has been cooking for over 18 years, starting with an apprenticeship with the Hyatt in Phoenix. In 2002, he helped open fM restaurant and made it a top dining choice for local food-lovers. Now, after a two-year hiatus, he is back in the fM kitchen, creating dishes that are sure to please even the pickiest of customers.

Ingredients for 1 serving:
Pork Shank, Lamb, Veal Shank, Steak
Carrots, Celery and Onions: Diced large in 1/4 cup
5-6 Bay leaves
Flour: 1/4 cup
Water: About 1 liter
Tomato Paste: 2 tablespoons
White Wine: 1/4 cup

Cooking Instruction:
1. Toss meat in flour then saute in hot pan until brown.
2. Add vegetables and saute until onions are translucent.
3. Add bay leaves and wine until wine reduces to half.
4. Add water until it just covers the ingredients.
5. When water boils, add the tomato paste and reduce heat to a low simmer.
6. Simmer for about 1.5 hours, then add salt and pepper.

Twice Baked Potatoes:
(prepare while meat is cooking)
Cut a baked potato in half and scoop out the inside, leaving the skin empty. Mash the potato insides with milk or cream and garlic, salt and pepper. Put the mashed potato into the potato skins and top with cheese. Bake until cheese is golden brown.
