Well I sealed it both sides in butter, and cooked at 200 for 20mins then 140 for 2 hours, red wine (2 glasses) onions and carrots then roast tats with a splash on olive oil and rosemary ...

Went Down a storm, clean plates all round!!

Many thanks all!! Looking forward to this weekend now to see what I can knock up
