Rest30 min
Leave for 30 minutes at room temperature. Let it rest, covered, for the time given, without putting it back on the heat.
Roast1 hr
20 minutes at 220°C, then 40 minutes at 170°C. Preheat the oven to the temperature given, with the rack in the middle. Only open the door if the recipe says so: the dish is ready when it is golden and the time is up.
Rest15 min
15 minutes under foil before slicing. Tent loosely with foil and leave at room temperature. The juices settle back into the meat and it carves more easily.
