Rachel's Mayan Chocolate Pot RoastCustomer Rachel L. published this recipe for chocolate pot roast with our Mayan Drinking Chocolate on our Facebook page. It sounds heavenly and very comforting!

Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef pot roast
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 stalks of celery
  • 1 each red pepper, green pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper
  • rosemary, cinnamon, black pepper, paprika, salt
  • 1/2 bottle red wine
  • 1/2 gallon chicken stock
  • Sriracha (Vietnamese “Rooster” sauce, available at most Asian markets)
  • 5 pieces of Dancing Lion Chocolate’s Mayan Drinking Chocolate

Directions

  1. Coarsely chop the vegetables and toss into a large pot or dutch oven
  2. Pour in the wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by at least half.
  3. Sprinkle the top of the beef with sriracha, paprika, cinnamon and salt and broil on a tray until nicely browned, then add to the pot with the wine and vegetables.
  4. Add the chicken stock, Dancing Lion Chocolate Mayan Drinking Chocolate and rosemary and cook on low heat (pot should only be steaming, not boiling) for 6 to 8 hours.
  5. Remove the meat, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes, then slice.
  6. Meanwhile, puree half the stock and vegetables in a blender for gravy.
  7. Strain the vegetables from the remaining stock. Freeze the strained stock as a soup-base for another day.
  8. Spoon the vegetables onto a platter with the sliced meat and drizzle with gravy. Serve with good bread and wine.
