How long would you roast lamb hearts for?We Answered:
They will take a good hour, I would also add some broth or stock, herbs, onions/garlic as they are not very fatty, unlike lamb meat, braising is the best way to cook any offal, lamb hearts and livers are much milder than cow and pigs innards for this process.Justin Said:

How do you make a good gravy for a joint of roast lamb?We Answered:
Well, I use the juices of the roasted lamb as gravy. I normally spoon off the extra fat and thicken, if needed. I cook my lamb with mushrooms, pork sausage, onion, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme so it has an excellent flavor in the juices.Craig Said:
