Pot Roast The Silver Palate Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan; spoon the marinade over it evenly. Pour in the wine and sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar.
• Bake until the thigh pieces yield clear yellow juice when pricked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes, basting two or three times with the pan juices once the chicken begins to brown. (When basting, do not brush off the sugar. If the chicken browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil.)
• Transfer the chicken pieces to a warm serving platter and top with the prunes, olives and capers; keep warm. Place the roasting pan over medium heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Reduce to about 1/2 cup. Strain into a heatproof bowl, add the parsley and pour over the chicken.

Steps:

• After preparing the vegetables, brown the pot roast on both sides on an outdoor grill. Takes about 20 minutes.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, salt & pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar together in a medium bowl.
• Tear off a 5 foot strip of heavy duty foil and fold in the middle so you have a doubled piece of foil. Put half of the sauce in the center of the foil and put the browned roast on top. Pile the vegetables on top of the meat, pouring the remaining sauce over it all. Wrap the roast in the foil, folding edges tightly to secure the juices.
• Put a double thickness of foil on the grill and place the roast package on top. Cook 1-1/2 to 2 hours "over slow coals" as my aunt's recipe says, or on low on a gas grill.
• Serve roast in chunks because it's usually too tender to slice! Serve vegetables in a separate bowl and pass the sauce.
