Roasted Root Vegetables seasoned with Rosemary and Olive Oil |
While roast is sitting, strain wine sauce into a small saucepan and stir in:
1 teaspoon Demerara Sugar

Yay! Susan’s back 🙂
This looks absolutely perfect – gorgeous color.
Such a wonderful meal, especially for colder months!
I have never heard of this method for cooking a round roast… it sounds wonderful. I might try to get a round roast at the market this morning so we can give this a try! Love all the veggies, too. ~ David
PS – the photo from the deck of the American Queen is so perfect! My folks used to go on the Delta Queen every other year…
