Expert Tips

Use thin or regular slices of bacon instead of the thick-sliced variety so the bacon cooks in the time the roast cooks.

The roast can be coated with the herb mixture and covered with the bacon several hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Garnish the roast with fresh herbs and crab apples.

I made this for our four year anniversary. I should have at least prepared the herbs before hand. It was really good. I will start to make this more often. My husband and I were very impressed!
