Hi All
Has anyone got a good recipe for a whole leg of lamb ? I was thinking maybe
An italian slant would be good/ wood fired of course .
Looking forward to any replys .

Re: Leg of lamb

Try this I have done this on a closed bbq will be trying it in oven when finished.

Brown lamb all round adding garlic lemon and sage leaves [12] to pan for one minute.

Combine tomato paste [whole small tub] chicken stock [3 cups] and white wine [1cup] adding to the pan.

Cook in oven until done to liking. Turning lamb a couple of times.

whole leg of lamb.

Win the Lotto did you? When we were over there some years ago you had to sell your first born to buy real meat.....

Forget all the herbs and spices, lamb done in the oven is to die for just by itself.....

Hi Al
I think I will just stuff lots of home grown garlic and rosemary in it and see how it goes . If I had won the lotto I wouldn't be hear I be traveling round the world drinking wine and stuffing my face.

I don't listen either. Why travel? Fire up the oven, drink wine, stuff your face, sleep in a familiar bed.

Good lamb doesn't need too much tampering with. The garlic and rosemary and salt and pepper is all that it needs apart from a bit of care in cooking it. It is always better if you pour some wine into the cook during the cooking process.

Good Australian lamb off the saltbush country is very special although the Kiwi lamb is great also, whatever they do with it!

Re: Leg of lamb

I did a Moroccan roast lamb recently and I must say it was too die for. Succulent, tasty, and also tasted like lamb just with a little added flavor.

Moroccan lamb in a tangine is to die for, you can't get much better. By the way a tangine great for using those under 150 C temps. But if you really want that more than taste roast or tangine try goat or mutton. Goat gets a bit expensive but if you can find a butcher that supplies to an Indian restaurant you can get mutton. Lambs great for grilling and a fast cook but for a long slow roast or stew you can't go past a bit of mutton. No bloody bits in the middle mind you. Well cooked. Low heat and long cook.
The last mutton leg I got I had cut in 1/2. The lower 1/2 with shank attached was slow cooked in the WFO the upper went into the tangine. Both were full of flavour that you could never get out lamb at those low heats.
I heard it mentioned before about Saltbush lamb by Greenman. I didn't know that it was still around . My grandfather was a shearer and would bring them home alive and kicking so to speak when I was a kid . Now that was a real treat.
Pre salted meat .... And not just in the outside.
