OLIVE SURPRISE RUMP ROAST
Approximately 4 lb beef rump roast
1 jar (4-5 oz) pimiento-stuffed olives, drained
2 to 3 tablespoons canola oil
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
1 can (10 3/4-oz) condensed tomato soup
1 soup can of hot water
With the point of a sharp knife, make 4 or 5 crisscross gashes in a large circle as far in as the middle of each end of the roast. Using fingers or a spoon, open up the gashes and push 4 or 5 olives into each gash.
In a large Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and brown completely on all sides (takes about 15 minutes), lower heat to medium if it gets too hot.
Lift meat and place onion slices under the roast. Stir the water and soup together and pour over the meat. Cover tightly and simmer on stove top or cook at 325 degrees in oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. Cool. In fact, this is good served chilled so it makes a good picnic or tailgating meat.
Your guests will be surprised to see the olives cooked in the meat.
Note: The sugar in the soup is okay as it is balanced out by the protein in the roast.
SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE KEBABS
1 lb large peeled shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bottle (16-oz) lowfat, sugar-free Italian salad dressing
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp hot pepper sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 small zucchini
8 small white onions, peeled
1 can (8-oz) pineapple chunks, drained
8 large fresh mushrooms
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
Place the shrimp in a shallow dish. Combine the salad dressing, soy sauce, pepper sauce, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Reserve half of the sauce; set aside. Pour the remaining sauce over the shrimp. Refrigerate and marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat broiler. Soak 8 wooden skewers. Cut the zucchini into 1 1/3 inch slices.
Drain the shrimp and discard the marinade.
Alternately thread the shrimp, zucchini, onions, pineapple, mushrooms, and the tomato wedges onto the presoaked skewers.
Broil the kebabs, turning several times and basting with the reserved sauce, for 6 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
