Pot roast should have potatoes, carrots, and onions. You can put some garlic. You can vary the type of potato. You could do leeks. You could do cabbage. I would even accept cauliflower. I’ve never tried it, but it might be good. But pickles? Come on.

    when you’re out of pepperoncinis you have to improvise . its a modified mississippi style pot roast. respect

    It’s common to use a vinegar base to help break down a roast/loin in a slow cooker. I’m assuming this is going to be pulled and bbq sauced. I bet it’s good as hell

    NGL I’d get me a big bowl of whatever the hell that is.

    This is also good with pickled hot peppers.

    The pickle trend is here to stay for a while my guy

    Never had Carolina-style pulled pork? You’re missing out, OP.

    Its “perkin’ gherkin soup”. Its a post-apocalyptic comfort soup. Don’t ask what the meat is.

    Pickling beef to an extreme degree. Would still eat it though.

    Acid makes meat super tender I’d try it

    My step dad always insisted on putting pickle juice in our roast beef sandwiches because “That’s how Bills makes ’em”, a local restaurant. We are both also quite Polish. 

    Hopefully this helps contextualize.

    I don’t put pickles in but I do always add pickle juice from whatever jar I’m halfway through. Adds incredible depth and tenderness.

    Ok, is that regular pickle though or are those sweet gherkins?

    This used to be common practice. Think of an era before refrigeration and global trade, if you lived in an area with long winters, the only vegetables you had to throw into your stews or roasts were pickled, canned, or could store for months in a cellar.

    Potatoes, carrots, onions were obvious staples, but using up your pickles or other preserves when you lacked other ingredients was not only common, but a way of going through it.

    How the fuck would a sour taste work that much with stewed beef?! Is this really a thing? Sorry but I’m confused. If this is a thing that works, please tell me and I’ll try it 😂

    I braise in pickle juice all the time, this is just a step further

  17. justcougit

    Immediate yes. Oh my God on a sandwich?! A nice toasty bun?! Yupp.

  18. Put a jar of pickles, a cup of ketchup, and a chuck roast in a crock pot. Tastes kinda like a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Put it on a bun with a slice of cheese. I’ve done it a few times; my Mom found the recipe over 20 years ago, and I always liked it.

    Rich braised meat and briny cornichons? Yes please

  20. My very pregnant niece would be all over this. She ate a large jar of dills watching the hockey game with me. Then grabbed a spoon and dug into my Jif peanut butter. Then she wanted meat.

    I totally thought this was Tuna surrounded by Cornichons & thought “all this needs is some Mayo…”
