Recipe Notes

Resting meat after roasting is the key to juicy, succulent dinners. I love placing citrus fruit over the top while it is resting so the meat absorbs the aromatic flavor.

"And there was a cut of some roast... which was borne on Pegasus-wings of garlic beyond mundane speculation."

C.S. Forester, British author
