Directions:Preheat oven to 450º F. Combine meat with ingredients for broth seasonings in a very large roaster or soup kettle and bake for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 300º F. and continue baking about 3 hours, until the meat is fork-tender. Remove the meat and let cool slightly. Shred into generous bite-size pieces; set aside. Remove seasonings with a slotted spoon and discard. Return meat to broth. Increase the oven temperature to 350º. Add the potatoes, carrots, lima beans, parsnips, barley and tomatoes to the broth and bake for 45 minutes. Remove pot from oven and add the remaining ingredients. Return and bake 30 minutes longer, or until the potatoes and parsnips are tender. Garnish with fresh basil. |
