Wasn't feeling well this afternoon and needed an easy pot roast recipe. Found this one and we enjoyed it very much. I've coped the comment of a reviewer who suggested making the "quatre epices" which I did and used instead of just nutmeg.

I meant to add an comment to my review (immediately below), do take the time to make the quatre epices, it has an incredible depth that I don't think you'll get from just using allspice, the combination adds alot of warmth to the meat and I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful your house is going to smell! Thanks to cameronz from Upstate South Carolina for the recipe. Here's his or her version: Quatre Épices: A French spice/seasoning mixture. INGREDIENTS: 2 tsp. cinnamon, 4 tsp. ground all spice, 1 tsp. ground cloves, 2 tsp. grated nutmeg, 4 tsp. ground coriander, PREPARATION: Mix all spices and store in a well sealed jar.
