Method
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 5, 190°C, 375°F.
In a small bowl mix together the honey, garlic purée or paste, lemon zest and oil.
Put the potato wedges in a large roasting tin, season, add the oil and cook for 40-50 minutes. If you don’t want to make your own there are plenty to choose from in the chiller or freezer section of the supermarket.
Place the joint on a chopping board, make several slashes over the surface, season and spread with the honey and lemon mixture. Transfer to a roasting rack in a medium non-stick roasting tin and roast for 40-50 minutes (for medium). Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
Remove the joint from the oven, transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes, 20 minutes if time allows.
Meanwhile, cook the sweetcorn or vegetables of your choice according to the packet instructions.
Slice the roast and serve with gravy (if used), sweet potato wedges and sweetcorn or vegetables of your choice.
