Pot roast recipe
This recipe is a great way to use up ungainly winter vegetables. The trick is the flash of raw garlic and parsley at the end which lifts everything. It is a vegetarian dish or could be eaten with a side helping of meat and it is gluten free for those of us with a gluten intolerance.
