Pro-Tips
Directions :
1 . Rub roast generously with salt & pepper . Set aside and allow to come to room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients . 2 . Prep all herbs and veggies , minus the peas .
Combine well .
3 . Rub the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil and place roast inside . Place veggies around the roast , cover , & cook on low for 6-8 hours . 4 . Add peas . Shred or cube roast . 5 . For the pie topping : Steam rutabaga and turnips until tender . Mash with butter . If cooked properly , turnips and rutabaga should become silky and whip up even better than potatoes . Stir shredded cheese into the mash , and add salt and pepper to taste .
6 . Evenly spread the stew mixture into a large baking dish . In small spoonfuls , add the mash over the top of the stew mixture .
7 . Broil the uncovered dish on high for 10 minutes or until the top gets golden brown .
8 . Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately .
Like to plan ahead ? Prep and refrigerate to cook later in the week . Preheat oven to 350 for 25 minutes , then broil uncovered for 10 minutes , or until the top turns golden brown .
This also makes a great stew ! Skip the topping and enjoy . For a thicker stew , use 1 / 2 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and mix vigorously with arrow root . Stir the slurry back into the slow cooker and serve !
