Turn the rumps and continue to cook, spooning over the olive oil to baste well. Add the butter and continue to turn and cook until the rumps are well browned all over (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a preheated oven (190øC 375øF or Gas mark 5) for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave in a warm place for 5 minutes to rest.
