Golden & Red Beet Salad
Steamed beets make a wonderful addition to green or grain salads and are very easy to prepare in the Steam Oven using the Steam Mode (Combi Steaming). When choosing beets for steaming try to use beets of a uniform size, begin by gently washing the beets to remove any dirt then place them in the perforated pan nested over the solid pan. This is really important to avoid the red beet juice staining the oven.
Ingredients
2 - medium golden beets
2 - medium red beets
Other ingredients:
1 - head butter lettuce, rinsed and dried
1 - tablespoon snipped chives
¼ - cup olive oil
4 - tablespoons golden Balsamic vinegar
1 - teaspoon Dijon mustard

Preparation
Preheat the oven in the Steam Mode.
Remove the beet tops and rinse the beets clean to remove any dirt.
Place the beets in the perforated pan nested over the solid pan and steam for 30 - 40 minutes until very tender.
While the beets are steaming, set up your work space so you can easily peel the red beets without staining everything around you. A low sided metal baking pan is ideal, or a cutting board covered in plastic wrap.
Once the beets are cooled begin by sloughing off the skin of the golden beets with a sharp knife then set aside.
To avoid staining your hands wearing disposable gloves is a good idea when handling the red beets. Once the beets are peeled and sliced they are ready to be combined with the salad.
Combine the ingredients for the dressing, toss the lettuce leaves with just enough dressing to coat, carefully fold in the golden beets and add a little more dressing if needed.
Sprinkle the chives over the salad and add the sliced red beets.

Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder
Pork shoulder can be roasted at low temperatures and served with rice and beans or over polenta with a side of sautéed bitter greens, any which way it will be delicious. Pork shoulder can also be braised, slowly cooked in a sauce, usually a BBQ sauce then shredded for pulled pork, another really popular preparation.
As with all meats, let the pork sit out of the refrigerator for at least an hour before cooking and for best results, place it on a rack in a shallow pan to allow the Convection heat to circulate around the meat. The pork can be roasted in either a Combi Steam oven or a Convection Oven.
Keep the temperature low and allow 3 - 4 hours, it will be well worth the

Ingredients
1 pork shoulder 3 - 5lbs
1 small yellow onion, peeled and quartered
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp mild chili powder
1 tbsp dried mixed Italian seasoning
1 tbsp Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Preparation
Convection Steam Oven, heat the oven in the Convection Steam Mode, 300F, 150C.
Convection Oven, heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Roast Mode, 325F, 164C.
Puree the onion, garlic and seasonings in a food processor or with an immersion blender. Stir in ¼ cup of olive oil and the vinegar to make a thick paste.
Place the meat fat side up on a rack in a shallow pan. Score the meat in a cross-hatch pattern and rub the puree all over the meat. Pour enough water into the bottom of the pan to cover the surface and slide the tray into the oven.
Check the meat after 2 hours and add a little more water to the bottom of the pan if needed.
Check the meat again after 3 ½ hours to see how tender it is. The final result should be meltingly tender. Remember you can’t go wrong if you keep the temperature low.
