    Leg of lamb Best if roasted in oven |      Preheat oven to 425°. Roast for 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 350°. Roast until the pop-up timer activates which occurs when the meat reaches an internal temperature of 155° or "medium" if you prefer the meat medium. For well done roast for an additional 10 minutes. Let stand covered for 10 minutes before carving. Skim any fat from the pan and spoon the residual juices over the sliced lamb.  |     |

Roast Leg of Lamb  Many recipes for lamb call for rosemary, but try tarragon instead.  Ingredients  1/2 lemon  3 cloves garlic sliced thin  Tarragon  Salt/pepper  Wash a leg of lamb in cold water and dry.  Rub 1/2 lemon over skin.  With sharp knife cut 1/2 inch wide holes,  some right down to the bone, and insert a  sliver of garlic and a good pinch of Tarragon.  Repeat all over the lamb 10-12 times.  Salt and pepper outside skin and cover with  more tarragon.  Cook the lamb slowly in a low oven 275 for  3-4 hours, but if you prefer, cook it faster at 375  for  Pink - 10 minutes/lb+ 20 minutes  Medium - 13 minutes/lb+ 20 minutes  Well done - 20 minutes/lb+ 20 minutes  When lamb is done, remove and set aside to  keep warm.  Gravy  Ingredients  3 tbsp butter  3 tbsp flour  Salt/pepper  White wine  Tarragon  Cream  Scrape bottom of roasting pan for brown bits and put into a pot.  Add butter, melt, and stir in flour.  Add 2-3 tbsp tarragon. Add salt/pepper to taste.  As it thickens add white wine and stir.  Continue cooking until it thickens again.  Add more tarragon if needed.  Lower heat and add 1/2 cup of cream.  Stir and warm for 5 minutes   ~~~~~

Daisy's Lamb Roast (Leg or Shoulder)  Ingredients   1 tablespoon of pounded ginger  1 tablespoon of pounded garlic  1 cup of natural yoghurt  1 big onion (sliced)  1 teaspoon of coriander powder  1 teaspoon of cumin powder  1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg  5 cardamons  5 cloves  1 cinnamon stick  Marinate lamb overnight or at least for 4 hours  with ginger, garlic and yoghurt in a plastic bag.  When you are ready to cook it, separate the  marinade from the meat. You can then just  remove lamb from the bag and squeeze the  marinade out later to cook with the dry spices.  Heat up enough oil to slightly brown the onion  (more onion will give you more gravy).  Add all the dry ingredients and some water  (maybe 1/2 a cup) to cook the spices.  Add the marinade now. If you do not have  enough fresh garlic and ginger in the marinade,  add a teaspoon of garlic and ginger powder  each with the spices.  If it is too little gravy, use another 2 or 3 tablespoon  of yoghurt. To prevent the gravy from sticking  the pot, lower the heat and add water as needed.  Cook the gravy until a layer of oil is bubbling.  Then place the leg of lamb in the pot and turn  it a few times to absorb the gravy.  You have two ways to cook it from now.  Either you leave it in the pot on low heat and  turn the meat every so often to prevent from  drying out or roast it in the oven just like normal  roasting (or slowly for 5 hrs in 225 oven) with a  lid or foil to keep the gravy from drying out.  Don't forget about the salt, a tablespoon of sugar  (to taste, if the yoghurt is too sour) and some  raisins if you like. Serve this with some sweet  chutney on oiled rice.  Oiled Rice  Brown some thinly sliced onion with oil.  Pour in the rice (washed and drained) and stir for a few minutes until it feels like it is going to  stick or go lumpy.  Add boiling water (measure the water first and boil it in a kettle), a pinch of salt and spices  (cinnamon, bay leaves and cardamon - is optional).  Bring to boil and simmer over low heat until it is cooked.  Add some raisins or almond/pistachio if you like.  You can also use the rice cooker after stir-frying the rice with oil and onion. The consistency of water use for the rice is just as normal.
