A low-maintenance roast that’s brilliantly versatile
This low-maintenance roast is my favourite type of Sunday lunch. After the initial flavour rub, it requires little interaction, and yet will have guests asking for the recipe. It is also brilliantly versatile, depending on the season and the vegetables you have available. Carrots, fennel and cabbage would all make great additions or swap ins, as would most tinned white beans.
