I tried sticking to basic ingredients when creating this recipe, and I used an inexpensive cut of meat for a change. Baked at a lower temperature than usual, the meat slowly releases its juices, and the result is a fabulously succulent, super-flavorful roast. Freezes well too.
1 4-pound (1.8-kilogram) chuck roast (#left-side2 in Israel)
1/3 cup Shiloh Secret Reserve Merlot wine
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
2 tablespoons Heaven & Earth Date Syrup
1 heaping tablespoon Tuscanini Tomato Paste
salt, to taste (be generous)
pepper, to taste (be generous)
3 large carrots, peeled and grated
1 green apple (this is not a mistake!), peeled and grated
1 small/medium sweet potato, peeled and grated
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).
Combine paste ingredients in a small bowl. Smear evenly all over meat.
Combine all the vegetables and the grated apple in a medium bowl. Prepare two large pieces of overlapping Gefen Parchment Paper on the counter. Place about one-third of the vegetable mixture in the center. Place roast on top of vegetables. Pour the remaining vegetable mixture on top of the roast and press down to stick. Pour wine all over the roast.
Wrap well in parchment paper, and then in a double layer of foil. Carefully place in a roasting pan. Place in oven and bake for three hours, or until done. Cool overnight before slicing.
