Pretty cool. This is the first time I've ever made pot roast that I like. It is savory and tender and beautifully Fall-looking with the roast veggies. I followed the recipe as exactly as I could, using white wine vinegar (I didn't have red and I omitted the figs (didn't have. It's so pretty that I wish I could post a photo. Thank you Anne!!

WOW, WOW and WOW!!!!! Anne Burrell, you rock! This recipe is absolutely awesome! I made it last night and THIS recipe will be the only pot roast recipe I will follow from now on. The flavors were complex and layered and it was incredibly delicious. I could not find Jerusalem artichokes here where I live, so I substituted carrots and it was still good. I even drove over an hour to the nearest city to go to an Asian market to buy star anise, and it was WELL worth the drive. I put an extra orange peel strip in and I just loved the flavor of this roast. If I could give this recipe 5+ stars, I would!!!!!!

This was delicious! I had to stop eating half way through to post this. I did have to make a modification, as I couldn't find Jerusalem Artichokes, so I added Carrots instead - absolutely perfect combination of sweet and savory. Okay, I have to get back to my plate!

This was a really good dish My roommate doesn't like traditional pot roast But gobbled this up !!! My son however bit into one of the star anise that I overlooked and thought the figs were gritty meat and it pretty much ruined it for him even thought he said the taste was good So just make sure to find the star anise / bay leaves before serving And to people who unfamiliar with figs you might warn them of their texture

I used shallots and leeks instead of onions and garlic. It worked well.

Our experience with Chef Burrell's braise recipes has been top notch. Including this one.

But for reviewers who say they substituted Jerusalem Artichokes with Artichoke hearts, just a note that they are not the same thing. Jerusalem Artichokes, aka Sunchokes, are a tuber treated like a root veg. And botanically speaking related to Sunflowers not Artichokes.

While you might use GLOBE artichoke hearts as substitute here, since artichokes are really flower buds they will not provide the same texture or flavor as the tuberous Sunchokes. In a braise like this Sunchokes - Jerusalem Artichokes - cook up more like a potato meets turnip texture and flavor. Very, very good. Seems to me subbing artichoke hearts is a mistake. And since Sunchokes are seasonal most grocers anywhere carry them in autumn winter months these days.

Had trouble finding several ingredients - star anise (had to borrow powdered from a friend, used 1/2 tsp, the figs (used 5 prunes and the artichokes (left them out & upped the squash a little. REALLY good recipe...and so different from more typical pot roast flavors. I was a little concerned about vinegar vs wine, but really, really good!
