Miniature Pot Roast

[PigletJohn]

Perhaps there is a dish equivalent to this, and I don't know its name?

I was thinking it would be nice to make individual servings in separate pots, one per person. I am thinking browned root vegs and small onions with a lump of meat on top. But presumably cooking time would be fairly short as much smaller than usual. To save me cooking a dozen, ten minutes apart, is there a away to calculate it? Say, 150g off a roasting joint in each pot, and vegs browned, cooked, not mushy. I prefer it without added liquid.

Try MadameDeFarge - she's answering cooking questions on the 'Bring me your leftovers' thread on active conversations at the moment and I'm sure she can help.

I think the problem with that is that a good pot roast does need to cook slowly for quite a long time, so less cooking time in individual pots would mean tough meat.

I think you should cook it as normal, then pot up in your pots for the last few minutes. If you have cooked it with a lid on (like all good pot roasts) then you should have lots of lovely gravy anyway. Dont brown the veg, simply soften the onions (and maybe garlic?) add the chopped veg and cook for a few mins. then add the roast.
