Moroccan Pot Roast image

My husband loves meat and I love veggies, so we're both happy with this spiced twist on the beefy pot roast. With chickpeas, eggplant, honey and mint, it's like something you'd eat at a Marrakech bazaar. -Catherine Dempsey, Clifton Park, New York

I'm surprised by all the positive reviews for this recipe. I tried it and it was terrible. The meat was dry and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a waste of time and money. The meat was tough and the sauce was tasteless. I will never make this again.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The meat was a little dry and the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.
