COOKING TIP: You’ll want to thaw this roast before cooking, by either placing it in the fridge for 1-2 days, or under running water for about an hour. Once thawed, remove the outer plastic layer, but keep the inner cloth netting on. Rub the outside with a few tablespoons of cooking oil, this will help to brown the roast and prevent the surface from drying out. Pop it onto a 375°F (190°C) oven for 2-3hrs, or until a thermometer inserted into the centre reads at least 74C (165F). Once cooked, remove from heat, cover with foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes. After this rest, it will be easier to remove the outer netting, then slice and serve. Make sure to refrigerate those leftovers!
