This truly is a dish that screams fall, even in the late summer :-) I served this with two beautiful pork steaks, and whole peeled potatoes, boiled with turmeric, parsley and butter. This time I used Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale “ trying to get into a fall kind of mood “ but you can use any kind you like. If you don’t want to use beer you can use water, chicken broth or vegetable broth. I am sorry I don’t have any pictures to go along with this dish, but I was juggling making this dish, plus another one to freeze, and trying to get some “ domestic goddess” stuff done as well.
