This was fantastic made it for the family two months ago and couldn't find any sun chokes so I used parsley root instead. Last week I made this in a cast iron Dutch oven over a open campfire at Boy Scout Camp (tripled the recipe again using parsley root and had boys coming back for more. I also entered the dish into the scoutmasters iron chef contest and won the contest even the judges wanted more. I would highly recommend trying it.

I don't know what went wrong. The meat was not tender. I couldn't find star anise so I left that out. I substituted sweet potato, yellow potato, and carrots for the squash and Jerusalem artichokes. I think the sauce was pretty tasty. Also, I had to boil everything for a while on the stove after I took the meat out post its 3 hrs of cooking. Oh well.

One of the best dishes I've EVER prepared or eaten. I too couldn't find the Jerusalem chokes so I subbed canned artichoke hearts. Next time I'll try the carrots (or maybe both. Rave reviews from my dinner guests. Thanks Anne

First off, I have never been a fan of pot roast as most of my childhood memories are of dry, flavorless meat. That being said, this is a fantastic recipe! Like most everyone else I had to makes some omissions and substitutions. I left out the star anise and Jerusalem artichokes, and substituted carrots for butternut squash. The meat was moist and tender and the sauce/juices were to die for! I served this with the potato and parsnip puree (also delicious!. My boyfriend ate two LARGE helpings and will probably steal the leftovers. Thanks Anne!

Wonderful recipe Anne! I had to use Chinese Five Spice (1tsp. (no star anise available at my local store. I didn't have figs, so I used prunes, and we could just forget Jerusalem artichokes! Even with my substitutions, it was wonderful! My 10 year old licked the plate and asked for more which usually never happens! I encourage everyone to try this even if you don't like a licorice flavor. It is not pungent, very mild and compliments the other flavorings very well. I hate licorice, but I love this dish. Thanks Anne!

Another fantastic recipe!!!! The star anise, orange peel and figs brought a different, wonderful taste for pot roast. My mom, who doesn't like things cooked differently, even liked the recipe. Anne, your one of my favorite cooks, thankyou for sharing the recipe.

Amazing. Best pot roast that I've ever eaten, hands down. We can't wait to try more of Anne's recipe.

I saw the episode while flying to Florida a couple of weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it. It was worth the wait! "The Big Meat" was tender and very tasty. I think it is the most flavorful pot roast that I have ever had. Definitely a keeper! Thanks Anne.

Just made this as my first pot roast attempt. It was absolutely amazing. I did use carrots instead of sun chokes and actually used a bag of star anise tea. (I saw the picture on the front of the box and didn't realize it was star anise tea until I got home. Everything tasted fine and to potato/parship puree was great, too. Thank you, Anne!
