Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Pour a bit of oil into a roasting pan and place meat and any leftover meat juices in the pan.5. Cover with the foil and roast for 1.5 hours. Remove from the oven and check that it is done.6. Return to the oven, uncovered and cook for another 15-20 minutes, taking care not to over brown the meat, or dry it out too much.7.

Gravy:1. Place the empty roasting dish onto the stove top directly and stir remaining pan juices/marinade vigorously into flour mixed with a little water.(this is my time saving method!)2. Bring to a boil over low hear to thicken gravy, according to preferred consistency.

INFO & TIPS

Adapted from "Innovation" by Shanaaz Parker.

original recipe calls for these spices which I substituted for the ones above as I didnot have on hand : 30ml Robertsons peri peri, 5ml tumeric, 15ml robertsons ground paprika, 30ml robertsons exotic thai spice)

This recipe makes a delicious change to the standard roast, and the addition of sesame seeds adds a lovely texture.
