Place the meat and 1/8 of the stock in a roasting pan.

    Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 ° C / gas: level 2) for 2-21/2 hours. Peel and quarter onions. Spread onions around the roast after about 30 minutes. Gradually pour on the remaining stock. In the last 30 minutes, turn up the oven temperature (electric oven: 200-255°C / gas: stage 3-4) so that the rind becomes crisp. Clean and halve the mushrooms. Heat some fat in a pan and fry the mushrooms in 2 portions. Add the leek strips at the end and braise for a few minutes. Season mushrooms with salt, pepper and thyme. Arrange the mushroom vegetables together with the roast on a preheated plate. Pour frying stock through a sieve, degrease and bring to the boil.
