Place all the herbs and Garlic into the centre of the roasting tin then place the joint on top of the herbs.
Roast the joint in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes at 200c then turn down the heat to 170c gas 4. Allow 40 minutes per kg + 40 minutes a little longer for shoulder or hand joints to ensure they are tender.
Top, tail and peel the beetroot, cut into ¼`s then 45 minutes before the joint is done, place into a separate roasting dish, add enough fat from the roasting joint to coat the Beetroot, season and place into the oven with the joint.
When the joint is cooked, remove from the roasting dish put onto a warm plate and cover, then leave to rest.
Pour off any fat from the roasting tin, reserving in a pot, this herb infused Boar fat is excellent for roasting potatoes.
Make your gravy in the normal way incorporating all the herbs and garlic, then strain into a warmed jug.
Serve with the carved meat, crackling and roast Beetroot.
