Whats a great recipe to make the perfect roasted lamb ?We Answered:
1 leg of lamb, about 2.5 kg50 ml olive oil
250 gm carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
250 gm turnips, peeled and roughly chopped
750 gm potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
3 parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped
225 gm onions, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
500 gm plum tomatoes
salt and pepper
5 ml thyme
5 ml rosemary
1 bay leaf
20 ml red currant jelly
750 ml Fougeres Beaujolais (or any red wine)
Instructions
Heat 3/4 of the olive oil in a shallow roasting pan, add the vegetables and cook in a 220°C oven (stirring occasionally) until they are lightly browned. Rub the lamb with the rest of the oil and with salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside. Roast the lamb in the same pan until it browns (about 30 minutes).
Reduce the oven to 170°C. Pour the Beaujolais over the roast, add the tomatoes (crushing lightly if using whole tomatoes), sprinkle in the thyme and rosemary, add the bay leaf, cover lightly with foil and bake for 90 minutes. Baste the meat, place the browned vegetables around the roast, correct seasonings, replace the foil and bake for another 90 minutes.
Remove the meat and vegetables and set them aside. On top of the stove, add the red currant jelly to the cooking liquid and reduce it to about 1/2. Add back the meat and vegetables and serve with lots of crusty bread.
