@ Rob: I’m using the dutch oven now. I’ll post the adventure later, but I had to go off-recipe and am hopeful that it will turn out awesome. It’ll definately be edible, but maybe not awesome.

This recipe is great, because you puree your juices, wine, tomatoes, onions and carrots into a sauce, then serve it with beans and bread. NOM.

I actually made a pot roast in a dutch oven last weekend. Beef, not lamb. Perhaps not spoonable, but the meat was easily pulled apart with a fork. My only mistake was adding the potatoes at the beginning, causing them to melt (and since I included a sweet potato, it left a bit too much flavor on the meat). That, and I think I boiled the broth down too much after taking out the meat and veggies, and the “sauce” became “tasty gravy-gel.” I’m eager to try again. Perhaps in Winter, when a pot roast is more seasonable, and having the oven on for half the afternoon is a good thing.

@Rob: No, yes and yes.

Do we know what the melting point of plastic wrap is? At 200 degrees, I bet you could use butcher’s paper if you could fashion a seal.

Once I have this beast conquered, I’m going to try it in a dutch oven with lid, rather than the foil. The principle would be to let it baste in its own winey, herby steam.

Actually, I’ll ask Chef Drue, and see what he says.

@ Kiki: Kiki! We’ll eat around 6 to 6:30. If you’re late, we may run out of spoons, but I bet ladle lamb or even tong lamb would be pretty good.

Also, can I come over for dinner?

Can I wrap it in plastic wrap instead? Is it really necessary to use aluminum foil?
