Emeril's Garlic -Studded Pot Roast

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"A very tender roast with lots of flavor; lots of garlic flavor! A recipe by Emeril Lagasse, this recipe is courtesy of the Food Network, with a little bit of changes made to the original. I found this while seaching for a recipe for my sirlion tip roast and wanted to share it. I served this with some warm buttered bread. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did."

Very flavorful, aromatic roast. It was a little dry, but so much better than roasts I've made in the past. The amount of garlic was just right for us. Thanks for the posting!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this roast! I made it yesterday for dinner, using recipe for essence # 14372. Fabulously spicy! Don't worry about too much garlic; it gets nicely mellow after all that roasting. Recipe was made as directed. Yum!
