Step 1
Place pot roast, onion, mint, garlic, cinnamon, allspice, and bay leaves in a large pot. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the roast. Cook over medium heat until roast is tender, adding more water if needed, about 4 hours.

Step 2
Stir cabbage wedges into the pot. Simmer until cabbage is tender, about 30 minutes.

Cook?s Note

As a variation, I will add various root vegetables. My favorites are red and white beets and/or carrots.You can also make this in a slow cooker. Cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours, adding the cabbage in the last 1/2 hour.
