18 oz. Polenta (I love this brand)

Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees. Generously season the chuck roast with the sea salt and pepper. Sear the roast in a large Dutch Oven a few minutes on each side and remove from heat. I used Ghee for this, but butter or olive oil will also work. Add the remaining ingredients and cover. Transfer the Dutch Oven to your pre-heated oven and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

While the roast is cooking, rinse the carrots (no need to peel) and place on a baking sheet or shallow pan. Generously drizzle the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt (I like to roll them around a bit to coat). I use my second oven for this and pre-heat to 400 degrees and then cook for 30 to 45 minutes until soft and slightly browned. If you don’t have a second oven you can place on the bottom rack of your main oven. I imagine it would take the full hour and a half to cook at the lower temperature.

The polenta is the last thing to cook as it takes merely minutes to prepare. Slice the pre-made polenta and place in a saucepan. Add water and cook over medium heat stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until polenta and water are thoroughly combined. Add sea salt and ghee to taste and stir until thoroughly combined and heated.
Place a layer of the Polenta on each plate and top with the pot roast and roasted carrots. Serve immediately.
