DELICIOUS. I thought I had a chuck roast in the freezer but it turned out to be a blade roast. Other than using that, the only changes I made were to use dried rosemary since the fresh wasn't very nice at the store, and to cook this in a crockpot all day after browning the meat and making the braising liquid. This was really lovely and I will keep this recipe on hand and make again and again. A little more work than my standard roast recipe but so, so worth it. Made for Spring '12 PAC.

WOW! Its is like Meat Butter- it melts in your mouth. When i realized I'd bought a chuck roast i totally panicked- but this was so amazing I may just buy cheaps cuts of meat all the time! I deglazed the pan in the beginning with some Sherry I had sitting around and I had no mushrooms, so I added Mushroom Broth instead of beef broth. Other than that- I followed the recipe as specified. It really was excellent!

I used to enjoy a mash-up of ingredients in all my recipes. Now my son has been diagnosed with a multitude of allergies including corn and egg and we've had to go on a diversified rotary diet. Probably a blessing in disguise. My allergies have always bothered me and at the age of 26 I "suddenly" developed a coconut allergy. I'm learning more and more about the way food allergies develop and am learning to cook in a whole new way. If you're going on a diet like this and would like to see our rotation, let me know. Everyone's allergies are different, though, so before you use any of my rotation diet recipes, please consider any hidden sources of your own problem foods.
