A bolar roast is such a versatile cut, it can be slow cooked or roasted for a Sunday treat. This simple marinade gives a hint of Asian flavours while still being approachable for kids and families. You could add some chilli but we think it's great just as is. Serve this Sunday roast with piles of steamed seasonal vegetables and rice or even noodles on the side.
