    It might be officially sprung on the calendar, but it’s still cold and gray for a lot of us, and what better way to ward off the chilly rain than a big plate full of hearty comfort food?

    Maple Balsamic Braised Chuck Roast

    Braising a chuck roast with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar gives the roast plenty of time to get fall-apart tender while all that flavor sinks deep into the meat.

    As a bonus, the braising liquid reduces to a thick, concentrated sauce to pour over the meat on your plate and add extra flavor to the vegetables as well.

    The roasted vegetables here don’t necessarily have to go with the meat – you could make just the roast or just the vegetables, but they make a delicious pairing, and it’s always nice to have your whole dinner in one recipe.

    Adding a little bit of sweetener is optional, but it does give them a delicious caramelized flavor: if you haven’t tried this, it’s a simple way to make roast vegetables even more delicious.

    On the other hand, though, if you’re not big on sweeteners, don’t sweat it: the vegetables are delicious without them and still a great side for the meat and the sauce.
