Cooked pretty well as per Sonia. I couldn’t resist testing the skin. I made a trivet with onions under the spare rosemary that was under the joint and cooked on GM3 for 3 1/2 hours. No need to carve, just “fork off”. Serving with roast potatoes, carrots and sweetheart cabbage plus homemade mint sauce and red currant jelly. Thanks, Sonia, for the idea. John

Oh yes, I also added 250 ml of Pinot Grigio to the roasting dish to keep things moist. John

@JohnA it looks super!! And with such miserable weather over the weekend, I imagine it was just the job to warm you up. Great idea to add the pinot to your roasting dish - I must remember to try that 😃

BTW. Right now Aldi have some Pinot Grigio @ £3.99 a bottle. We tried one just for cooking and landed up buying 24! It’s actually quite quaffable but I use so much white wine when cooking that it’s reserved for that purpose. We normally avoid cheap wine coz by and large you get what you pay for in life but it’s silly to be snobbish about it and a bargain is always attractive. John

I'm all for an Aldi wine bargain!! Especially when someone has already tried it and can recommend it, thanks @JohnA!
