Cooking Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 150˚C.
  2. Chop the onion, and half the leeks, carrots and celery into small blocks to form a bed for the roast.
  3. Cut the rest of the leeks, carrots and celery into larger 3-4cm pieces.
  4. Warm the oil in a heavy based pot or casserole.
  5. Season the meat with salt and pepper, brown it on all sides and remove from the pot.
  6. Sauté the finely chopped vegetables on a low heat until soft, then place the bolo on top. Add the stock and thyme.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a gentle simmer on the lowest possible heat. 
  8. Place the pot in the oven and cook for 40 minutes, then add the rest of the vegetables and cook for another 40 -50 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Add more liquid if it gets too dry or the vegetables start to stick.
  9. Garnish with more thyme and serve with roasted Autumn vegetables.
