Love a good rub, would usually give it a sear with a nice spicy coating, this is a lazy 'let it do its thing' mid-week dinner version. The apple and carrot adds that rounded sweetness you just won't get from sugar, and helps thicken the cooking liquid a lot! Would love to see how iyours turns out, send pics! (Be warned, it's a BIG recipe though, I used the other half for bitterballen) definitely enough to feed a few folks!
