Cookbook Series I - Seeded Pork Roast

This was nasty. 0 of 5 stars. Edible sure, but I did not like it. The fennel seed was overwhelming and it was a bit dry. Ate with leftover Ratatouille.

Made true to recipe. This was delicious. 5 out of 5. Gonna make this again. I have to say I don't like eggplant, but am always open to trying a dish with a food I don't like to sway me. I couldn't taste the eggplant and it turned to mush once fully cooked. 

No slow cooker recipes on BHG, but here is a similar recipe for the slow cooker on Epicurious. RATATOUILLE

My quest to make all the recipes in this cookbook. I may skip the beverage section being that it almost summer and the beverages are for the cold season.

First up - Pot Roast Dinner

With any recipe you have to alter it, to make it your own. Instead of tomato juice, I used a couple of cans of diced tomato. I didn't use a teaspoon sugar, but thought it would taste better if I used a tablespoon brown sugar. Also I opted four 2 quartered onions instead of 6 boiling potatoes. After adding all ingredients I thought it looked a little dry, so I then added a cup of water.

Big mistake adding a tablespoon brown sugar. The whole thing was too sweet. I may have to eat the rest with sourdough bread to counteract. I would skip the sugar altogether. The cup of water was unnecessary and I ended up sieving out the excess.

Overall it was okay. 3 out of 5. I will not make this version of pot roast ever again. Here's a better recipe from the BHG website. CLASSIC POT ROAST
