An Italian take on pot roast. So tender! Yield: 6 servings Put meat in large saucepan with oil, butter, chopped bacon, pepper, salt, and nutmeg, and brown slowly but thoroughly. When meat is well browned add the chopped anchovies, parsley and the stock or water. Reduce heat, cover the pan, and cook slowly (about 1-1/4 hours) or until meat is tender. Slice and serve covered with gravy. Add a little water to gravy if necessary. Enjoy!
