Directions

Prepare the Roast

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2.

Heat oil in a large roaster or Dutch oven. Add onions and sauté over medium heat for five minutes, until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for another two minutes.

3.

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper and sear for one to two minutes on each side.

4.

Pour wine over the roast. Drizzle the top with honey. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour for medium rare.

5.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Slice when cold.

Prepare the Chutney

1.

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions and fennel and sauté for five minutes over medium heat.

2.

Lower heat and add apple and chestnuts. Cover the pot and cook for five minutes.

3.

Add sugar and apple cider vinegar and stir. Continue cooking for four to five minutes.

4.

Uncover and add lemon juice, wine, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steam.

5.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes:

I tested this recipe with a chuck tender roast and a shoulder roast. You can use the roast of your choice and bake this low and slow. Add one to two cups water before covering the pan. After one to one and a half hours, add another cup water. Bake covered for two and a half to three hours for a soft, slow-cooked roast. This recipe freezes beautifully.

I tested this recipe on the stovetop as well. I used one cup wine and one cup water, and I cooked it for three hours. It came out very soft, and I actually preferred it this way.
