At the 45-minute mark, flip the roast. The milk will have begun to color and form loose curds. Re-cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar to allow the liquid to begin reducing. Baste the roast with the liquid every 15 to 20 minutes, cooking at least another 45 minutes or up to 1 ½ hours. 5. Remove from the oven and extract the roast, keeping it warm, by cover- ing in foil. Remove any remaining lemon zest or sage leaves and skim as much of the clear fat and oil off the surface of the braise and return the pot to the stovetop. Carefully boil the liquid to reduce it by half, whisking as you go to smooth it out. Add another tablespoon or two of cream at the end to further smooth it. Correct the seasoning. 6. Slice the roast generously and top with the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve.
