This recipe is frustratingly vague...how tightly should this roast be covered with foil? If it is to be basted frequently, does it need to be wrapped up tight again or just tented? Also, I have not seen much liquid coming out of the roast to baste. Does the foil remain over the roast when the potatoes go in?
...I will add that I am a confident cook, however, this particular cut of meat is not a common one, and it pretty expensive.
When do we remove the garlic cloves?
