Roast leg of lamb where you cut into it with a knofe and put slivers of garlic in it and rosemary, salt and pepper it- put on the tops shelf of the oven - not in a dish- on the bare shelf. then the shelf below you put a raosting dish with thinly sliced potatoes ( 10p thickness)and the juices from the lamb drips on to the potatoes- gas no 4 30 mins per pound, when cooked take the potaoes out of the dish to serve sepperately and makea gravy out of the juices which have dripped into the potato pan witha tablesppon of redcurrant jelly and a small galss of wine, thichkenb with arrowroot0 2 teasppons. OMG delicious. Called agneau qui pleut. The french know a thing or two about cooking.

Lamb Kofta Kebabs:

500g lamb mince

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

Some herbs - parsely, oregano, thyme, whatever you have.

Salt and black pepper.

Gently combine the above (overmixing will make the mixture tough). Form patties, and put under the grill for about 6 minutes on each side (turning once).

Make a salad of finely shredded red cabbage, cucumber, tomato and raw onion and dress with olive oil and vinegar.

Make a garlic sauce with 50:50 mayo and natural yoghurt, a pinch dried mint and 1/2 a crushed garlic clove.

Serve all together with toasted pitta.

In addition to WOD's recommendation, stuff some anchovy fillets in with the garlic and rosemary. Much better than it sounds adding a lovely, savoury, umami (the sixth taste) to the meat.

Also, rack of lamb, quickly roasted, served with puy lentils cooked in veg stock and herbs, served with a salsa verde. Delicious.

I love simple lamb shoulder slowed cooked with rice and vegetables. Also the lamb tagine (really simple) in the BLW cookbook is wonderful - I still slow cook the lamb and make a vegetarian tagine separately then combine at the end with the lamb off the bone and cook for extra time - you could do it separately all the way through for a veggie option as well. Ingredients include: onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, 3 tomatoes, raisins, apricots or prunes, some stock, black pepper. We have it spicy but I've made milder tagine for friends' children who don't love spice. The recipe doesn't say to put I bulk it out with chickpeas and lentils. It's delicious, makes loads and freezes/reheats really well. Serve with rice, natural yoghurt and/or pitta.

Mmm

I Am motivated now to try some new things

Yum! Lamb is my favourite food. Buy necks of lamb and marinate (lemon, garlic, fresh herbs) and grill, slice thinly. Serve with a tomatoe sauce with black olives, peppers and courgette with cous cous.

Being a veggy myself it's the cuts of meat I really have no grasp of!

I make something similar in burger form and cook in a pan. Or could do meatballs. I put cumin, chopped mint, salt, pepper, harissa and feta cheese. Also serve in warmed pita. Can add dollops of hummus on top of burger. Or not.

Marinaded in oil? Absolutely.

If it's something else, then it would be dependent on what. Just use the cheap jarred or tinned ones rather than the expensive fresh white ones from a deli or fishmongers. They'll dissolve into nothing but gorgeous tastiness.

Have you ever tried the same thing with a leg of mutton? It's wonderful if cooked longer and slower (i.e lower heat). More flavour and more moist. If you can't find it locally the East London Steak Co sell mutton by mail order that arrives in a chill box and free delivery to ED.

Thanks, I dont think I've ever seen a leg of mutton for sale. All ready for a super Sunday lunch with ( marinated in oil) anchovies
