This meal gives you pot roast without the pot roast. What? Yes, pot roast flavors and seasonings match delightfully to the noble pork chop, and the root vegetables bring the hearty warmth. Top some (or all!) of it with a rich pearl onion demi and you'll see how amazing a pot roast without the pot roast can be. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
