Roast Lamb French Style image

I have been making this for 30 years and love it. Lamb has become quite expensive here, so I probably don't make it as much as I used to.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

30 g butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
500 g onions, sliced
1 (1 1/2 kg) leg of lamb
2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
salt and pepper
1 kg potato
1 cup beef stock, cube is ok
parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan; add the onions and cook over a gentle heat until softened and just starting to colour.
  • Place the potatoes in the bottom of a roasting pan, spoon the cooked onions over them; season with salt and pepper.
  • Make small incisions all over the lamb and insert the garlic slices; place the lamb on a rack over the onions and potatoes. Season the leg well salt and pepper.
  • Pour the stock over the potatoes and roast in a hot oven (200c) for the first 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to moderated (180c) and cook a further hour. This will give you medium cooked lamb, if you like your lamb a little better done, cook for a further 40 minutes.
  • Carve the lamb in thick slices, lay it over the potatoes and onions, sprinkle with parsley and serve it in the dish it was cooked in Yum.
