- Spread evenly across the mutton, but not quite to the edges, and then roll tightly tucking in any strands of meat
- Tie with 4 or 5 strands of butchers string
- Place in a hot oven (220 degrees fan) and roast for 20 minutes turning once to colour the joint

Use the juices to make gravy and serve with mashed potato and a green veg such as kale or savoy cabbage
smells wonderful and tastes fabulous.
