New-Fashioned Pot Roast with Fresh Rosemary
Here is a totally different pot roast, with a mild tomato base and the flavor of fresh rosemary. This is an all-day recipe from the Desperation Dinners gals, who write a syndicated newspaper column.

Serve this with crusty ciabatta rolls and a green salad.

Chicken Broth

The cooking time is very flexible.
