Instructions

1 First prepare the basting mixture by mixing all the ingredients together.
2 To prepare the meat, cut the boned leg open and flatten slightly with the palm
of your hand.
3 Place meat on the rack of a roasting tin and roast at 160°C (325 °F) gas 3 for
20 to 25 minutes per 500 g (1 lb) plus 20 minutes (medium) or 25 to 30 minutes
per 500 g (1 Ib) plus 25 minutes (well-done).
4 Baste the meat frequently with the tomato basting mixture during the last 30
minutes of cooking time.
5 Allow meat to rest in warming drawer for 10 minutes. This will facilitate
carving and the meat juices will be reabsorbed.
6 Thicken remaining tomato basting mixture with a flour and water paste and serve
as a sauce.
