Pour strained cooking liquid back into pan, stir well. Bring to boil then reduce to a simmer. Add roast back to pan & cover. Seal lid well and simmer bout 15 minutes. Once done, remove roast and rest for about 10 minutes. Slice meat against the grain & place on platter. Arrange vegetables around it and lightly dress with sauce. Sprinkle over with fresh parsley.
