Time 4h30m

Yield 10 - 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 boned loin of lamb (see note)
Corn oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Dried thyme
1/2 head garlic, poached and mashed
1 bunch watercress

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Rub each eye of loin with oil. Rub in salt, pepper and thyme. Spread mashed garlic on loin and place it on broiler rack. Broil 3 or 4 inches from heat source for 5 minutes. Turn over meat and broil 5 minutes longer. Turn again and broil 3 to 5 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 135 degrees in center of meat.
  • Cool lamb on a serving plate. It may be prepared 2 or 3 hours in advance. Cut into slices 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and serve, garnished with watercress. If meat is broiled just before serving, allow 20 minutes for juices to be reabsorbed before carving.
