| 5 |  | ...some chopped parsley and thin shavings of cheese. | 3 min. |
| 6 |  | Fold the meat back over the filling and tie firmly in place with string to avoid it opening up during cooking. | 2 min. |
| 7 |  | Put in the oven on a roasting dish, baking tray or even in the pan, if this can go in the oven. | 1 min. |

Remarks
For the cheese, I reccommend Gruyère or, better still, Comté, but you can use whatever you prefer, of course.
