Roasty Toasty Lamb










Roast Leg of Lamb

Weekends like these, when it is cold, rainy and miserable outside are made for roast dinners with the family and good a film on the telly. This is one of my favourite roasts which I first made at Christmas a few years ago for a lot more people. Its simple and along with a few sides of veg can all be made in advance, popped in the oven while you enjoy an hour on the sofa. Its not something I would do during the week when time is short but great when cooking can be a more leisurely affair.
We enjoyed ours with roast potato, roast carrots and parnsips and medley of sweetcorn, mushroom and chillies all topped with some onion gravy.

Method

1.Trim any excess fat off the lamb leaving only a thin layer on top

7.Cover loosely with foil and cook for 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven

8. Prepare all the trimmings
