Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Welsh Lamb leg joint, allow 175-350g (6-12oz) per person
450g (1lb) lamb or beef sausages, slit skins and remove meat
90ml (6tbsp) gin
45ml (3tbsp) cranberry sauce
4 small red onions
5ml (1tsp) butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Weigh joint and calculate cooking time. Line a roasting pan with 2 sheets of foil & place the lamb leg onto the foil. Mix together the gin & cranberry jelly and spoon this over the lamb. Scrunch the foil around the joint, but leave the top exposed.
  • Baste occasionally during cooking.
  • Cut the onions in half horizontally (stalk at top) and using a spoon scoop out some of the layers leaving 2-3 in the shell.
  • Roughly chop the removed onion. In a pan heat butter and lightly fry onion.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the rosemary and sausage meat and combine together.
  • Take a handful of mixture and stuff into onion shells. Prop up around the joint, drizzle with a little olive oil and cook for 40-50 minutes until onion soft and fully golden. Rest the joint for about 15 minutes.
  • Serve with roasted potatoes, baked onions, seasonal vegetables and cranberry gin meat juices.
