Cindy’s Small Pot Roast

 Cindy's Small Pot Roast
I wanted to make pot roast, but there are only two of us, and all of the recipes I found online called for 2 1/2 - 5 pound roasts. That's a lot for two people! So I made this version, much more suitable for 2 people, without a lot of leftovers. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Remove roast from refrigerator about an hour before cooking - long enough for the roast to be about room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 325F.
  3. Heart oil in dutch oven to medium/medium-high heat. Pat roast dry and sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides, patting to help seasonings stick. Brown slightly on all sides - since it's a small roast and near room temperature, it won't take long on each side or you will start cooking it, maybe 45 seconds each side. Make sure to get every surface of the roast!
  4. Add sage and thyme to hot bouillon and mix well.
  5. Remove roast from dutch oven and drain excess fat. Place roast back in dutch oven and add hot bouillon, thyme, and sage. Make sure lid is on properly so that it hols all of the liquid and steam, and place in oven.
  6. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, then remove and add vegetables. Be sure to spread everything around so that it's totally cover with the liquid.
  7. Return to over and cook another 1 1/2 hours, or until roast is so tender it falls apart when you try to fork it.
  8. Move roast and vegetables from dutch oven to platter, and cover well to keep warm. Place dutch over with cooking liquid on burner on medium/medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp flour to liquid and whisk together. Let simmer until liquid is reduce to about 1/3 and gravy is thickened, whisking frequently.

Instructions
  1. Roast the garlic. Preheat oven to 400F. Remove as much of the papery cover from the garlic head as you can. Cut the top of the garlic head so that each clove is exposed. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap the garlic head in foil so that it is complete covered but not compressed, and will sit upright on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until it is soft.
  2. While garlic is roasting, cook the tomato sauce in a small pan just warm enough to simmer gently. Cook until reduced to 1/3-1/4 original volume.
  3. In large sauce pan, add olive oil and heat until the oil is hot and shimmering. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and just starting to brown. Add the roast garlic cloves and crush them slightly in the pan. Add crushed tomatoes.
  4. Add herbs to taste. You can use dried or fresh. I use 3-4 sprigs of thyme, about 2 sprigs of oregano, and around 6 basil leaves. You can always add more. after it has cooked for a few minutes. I did not chop the herbs because I blend the sauce once it's done cooking, but if you don't intend to blend, you should probably chop the herbs finely.
  5. Let simmer slowly, stirring frequently, for about 20-10 minutes. Taste a couple of times to see if you need more herbs. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. The sauce is now ready to serve, unless you want to blend it until smooth.
  7. CAUTION: Blending hot items is NOT recommended, and can be dangerous, and the lid can pop off and hot liquids can fly around. And yes, they can burn! You should probably give the sauce a few minutes to cool before you blend. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to blend it in two batches.
  8. Pour the sauce back into the sauce pan and rewarm before serving. I like to add the salt and pepper at this point, since now the tomatoes and herbs have had plenty of time to cook together.
