Jamaican Pot Roast

Food Network Canada

Growing up in Jamaica, having pot roast was a treat; roasts were not often affordable for large, low-income families. Pot roast was cooked in a Dutch pot oven on a coal stove and it was usually served with Rice & Peas and a salad. Recipe from The Real Jerk, courtesy of Arsenal Pulp Press.
