Recipe
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over high heat and lightly brown
the roast on all sides. Add the remaining ingredients and bake
covered in a 300F (150C) oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until meat is
tender. You may also simmer it covered on the stove over low heat for
3 to 4 hours. Under either method, check the pot occasionally and add
more liquid if necessary. Remove the meat is when it is done and cut
into thick slices. Arrange the sliced meat on a serving platter or
individual plates and add the vegetables. Discard the onion and bay
leaves. Skim the excess fat off the liquid and ladle it over the meat
and vegetables. Serves 4 to 6.
