preparation

➊ Set up the grill for direct and indirect grilling and set the temperature to 160–180 °C.

➋ Cut a slit in the loin below the bone, but do not cut through, and open it up. Brush the now boneless half of the meat with the tomato paste, then season with salt and pepper. Finally, top with the herbs. Fold the meat back on and turn it over. Score the fat cap crosswise and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Then tie the roast with kitchen string. Rub the potatoes and onions with oil and salt.
