Delicious combination of flavors! I used EVERY ingredient listed in half proportions, as my roast was just over 2 pounds. My family was afraid of the anchovies, as was I, but all the flavors blended quite well for a new & different pot roast. We loved the gravy! Thanks for posting, Papa! Made & enjoyed for ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes. -
Delicious pot roast. The gravy is very flavorful; I was eating it with a spoon! I did not have molasses so I substituted honey. Really good served with mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, Cole slaw, and fresh Italian bread slices. For the Cole slaw, I used a portion of bagged Cole slaw, available in the supermarket, and set aside the rest of it to make fried cabbage or cabbage soup. I set aside some cooked meat for sandwiches, and am making a shepherds pie with leftover mashed potatoes on top today.
