Notes

If the meat is not tender within 60 minutes, cover the pot and allow to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until tender.

For a simple mash potato side, boil a pot of salted water. Add potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes. In a small saucepan, heat some butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Mash the potatoes and slowly blend milk mixture into potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
