Tallow Roasted Vegetables #SundaySupper

Easter egg hunts aren’t my thing.  As a reasonably smart, somewhat logical, girl boss with some problem solving skills, I would think I would be kind of good at Easter egg hunts, but no such luck.

Okay, so the sample on this conclusion is small, very small.  It’s based on one particular egg hunt.  The scientist in me is very disappointed I came to a conclusion based on this, but I did.

This egg hunt was many, many years ago (and I trust I have since sharpened my natural egg hunting abilities), at my aunt and uncles house.  My two cousins were there and as the oldest and hopefully wisest of the three of us, I was confident in my ability to … well … crush them.

Maybe it was my cockiness on the subject or the fact that I was already better at a lot of adult things than kid things, but I bombed.  Like seriously laid an egg.  (See what I did there?)

I keep telling myself I found at least a couple eggs, but the truth is I am not sure I found any.  Those other two little hunters found egg after egg.  The one under the table.  The one on top the painting.  The one in the wine glass in the china cabinet.  And I felt worse and worse about my performance.  What was wrong with me?

We’ll never know, of course, but upon recounting this to Mom recently, she shared that she believes they were in on the hiding or shown where the eggs were located before we even arrived.  I demand a recount!

I also demand more Tallow Roasted Vegetables.

Here’s the secret about this recipe.  Yes, there is a recipe below, but you don’t really need it.  This is a non-recipe recipe, you know?  And those are my favorite kinds of recipes!

You can use any vegetables you have on hand and love in this recipe.  Buy way too much broccoli?  Go for it!  Want to do something different and roast radishes?  Let’s do it!  The parsnips calling your name at the store and now sitting in the refrigerator, staring at you every time you open it?  Roast them!

You can also switch up the fat.  Yes, olive oil will work, and is what I typically use for roasting vegetables.  However, when I have another kind of fat on hand, I love to switch it up.  Not only is it better than wasting perfectly good fat, it also adds incredible flavor and makes disposing of a large amount of fat easier.

I made brisket (USDA Prime from Costco – best thing ever!), and had a TON of fat.  It added so much flavor to these vegetables and promoted browning more than oil.  If you have duck, lamb, pork, or chicken fat on hand, use it!  And if you are cooking bacon this morning for breakfast, do I even need to tell you what has to be on your Easter table???

Have a great Easter and good luck with those egg hunts!

    I love roasting vegetables along with a roast, but I’m also excited to save some beef fat to make these with other meals! So much amazing flavor from the tallow.
    P.S. I’m thinking your cousins had experienced egg hunts at their house before and therefore knew all the hiding spots. As an Easter bunny’s helper, I remember having trouble coming up with new places to hide those darn eggs. Happy Easter!

    These vegetables look super yummy! I used to make beef tallow when we would buy a quarter cow.

    Tallow is SO GOOD! I’m lucky in that I live close to a butcher who renders his own. Expensive, but really worth it. Bet these veggies taste amazing. 🙂 Thanks!
