stuffing mixture evenly down the centre of the fillet. Fold one side of the fillet
over the stuffing, then the other. Secure with several pieces of string.
Place on
foil and then fold foil to make a secure parcel. Put in a suitable roasting tin.

temperature to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 for a further 35 minutes.
To serve place in a
warmed dish, unfold and remove from foil. Slice diagonally.
