Christmas roast leg of lamb
Celebrate Christmas this year with a dinner of lamb created by Blue Strawberry Caterers.
Christmas time means a feast for the family. Roasted meats, potatoes, veggies, desserts and loads of delicious treats. But nothing beats your mum’s roasts which is done to perfection. Even though you can never equal to your mother’s magical cooking powers, you can at least try:
Roast Leg Of Lamb
To roast:
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees, roast the lamb and potatoes for 30 min, then add the vegetables and roast for a further 30-40 min. Once done, remove the lamb from the roasting dish and set aside to rest for at least 5-10 minutes before carving, (on a cold day place some foil over it to keep it hot). Mix the veg and potatoes in the roasting pan coating them with all the juices, then carve, serve and enjoy!
For the vegetables:
Halve the baby potatoes and chop up the vegetables. Vegetables that take longer to cook should be chopped smaller than the quicker roasting veg, the more rustic the better. Melt the butter, season well and rub over the baby potatoes and vegetables, place only the potatoes in the roasting dish with the lamb. Keep the vegetables to add later.
