Last year, I used a few cookbooks to get me through the holiday and my favorite is Tamar Ansh’s Passover cookbook. It has recipes that work and are workable. I had most of the ingredients although, I did not have the coke for this recipe but I did get it. I wanted to make this again, this year but so far, I have not been able to fit it in. I thought, I would share it with you. You can make this any time during the year and I recommend that you give it a try. She calls this a Fabulous Roast.
Fabulous Roast (adapted) 
Ingredients:
3 pound roast
1 onion, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup red wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup cola
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Method:
Place roast in roasting pan.
Surround roast with sliced onions and chopped celery.
Mix the remaining ingredients in order to form a sauce.
Pour the sauce over the roast and cover the pan well.
Marinate into refrigerator overnight.
Bake roast uncovered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Lower heat to 300 degrees and continue to cook the roast, covered for 3 – 4 hours.
Let the roast cool before slicing.
Place slices back into meat juices and reheat for 30 minutes.
Then, sit back and enjoy, every bite. This is linked to Cast Party Wednesday Full Plate Thursdays Mop it Up Mondays
i was just thinking of all the ways that coke/soda can be used in savory as well as sweet creations. The recipe for the roast sounds so tasty and you were spot on with the amount of coke. It added some flavor but did not over power the dish. I would say that fabulous is quite fitting for this-yum!
Yummmm… I’m not a ham lover, but that looks good.
I should probably invest in a Passover cookbook.
Great idea! My mother does something similar and marinates chicken with Sprite.
This roast would have the best flavor, this is a great recipe! Hope you are having a great spring week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
