I was not inprest with this dish I thought it had no flavor to it, greasy, and dry. I followed the directions to the T. I feel that it could have used more water and I think adding some onions to it would make the meet tast better and more tender.

Doing this with no stars at this point as this is the first time using a new crock pot. Set for 10 hours but luckily I checked at 6 as it was well cooked and the veges were tender (turned off as I could not put onto warm as the crock pot is digital and only goes into that function automatically after cooking time) and about an hour before wanting the serve turned back on to warm through. The roast was pull apart tender though a tad dry (would have been great to serve on rolls with lots of gravy or some sauce, unfortunately we don't care for the gravy the crockpot produces). The crock pot concerned is a Morphy Richards Digital Slow Cooker 6.5L oval shape. Will definately give another go but set for 5 1/2 hours. Thank you Dacer^.

A very nice roast. The rosemary added just the right amount of flavor. This is a nice change from the traditional Roast we are all used too! Thanks so much!!!
