Mediterranean Chuck Roast

The picture doesn't look great but how can you go wrong with 30 cloves of garlic and kalamata olives!? We had problems with the fact that this took 10 hours and ended up not getting to eat it until the next day for lunch. Loved it. We simplified the recipe by changing the Olive Persadille to just kalamata olives and I didn't miss it. I've include the olive persadille recipe below in case you want to give it a go. All in all I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.
