1- Brown in a pan with a mixture of butter and oil your roast so it is nicely colored on all sides, then let it cool (you can prepare this the day before).
2- In a large bowl put your hay that you will have cut with scissors then add the coarse salt, flour and finally the cold water. Mix with your fingers to make a semi-thick paste and cover with a clean cloth.
3- Remove the oven rack and preheat to 150°(th 5).
4- On your work surface unroll a strip of aluminum foil about 60 cm long, then in the center put half of your hay paste over a length corresponding to that of the roast.
place the roast on top and cover with the rest of the paste.
5- Fold the 2 sides left and right towards the roast then roll it up this way you will have a nice package wrapped in foil.
6- Put on the rack and place in the oven in the center for cooking of approximately 1h45.
During the cooking time, prepare your sauce and your garnish:
7- Peel your apples and hollow them out while squeezing lemon on them so they remain white, keep the peels and cores (seeds).
8- With a medium melon baller scoop small balls from your apples and keep the rest of the flesh.
9- In a pan put your half-salted butter then brown your small apple balls until they take on a nice color.
