I am cooking

[PeeBee1]

a leg of lamb for the 1st time ever lol, any hints/tips please?
Thanx in advance

[ummmm]

What? On how to cook it? Or what to serve it with?

[funnygirl]

I piece my lamb leg and insert slithers of garlic and rosemary!

[PeeBee1]

Sorry shundv been a bit clearer, how 2 cook it thanx

[PeeBee1]

Sounds nice funnygirl, thanx

[redman41]

Don't forget the Mintsauce ! Lamb without Mintsauce is like a Man without a Woman !

[ummmm]

I'd do the same as funny.....make small slits all over and put slithers of garlic in with a small sprig of rosemary. It also depends how you like it cooked. I like it pink.

[PeeBee1]

Or The mighty reds without Gerrard/Torres etc. Ooh yes i havnt 4gotten the mint sauce, thanx

[zzxxee]

if you have a slow cooker add a couple of table spoons of water garlic gloves and slow cook over night lovely and tender the next day

[ummmm]

Also.....with lamb, because it's a fatty meat you can get away with cooking it longer because the fat keeps it moist.

That's if you personally don't like it pink.

[PeeBee1]

I like it pink, thanx all.

[zzxxee]

or buy a ready cooked one and pretend you did it

[Im a BusyBee]

i always give mine a good sprinkle/covering of mixed herbs too.

[PeeBee1]

Damn, why didnt i think of that lol

[Whoever]

Cook it slowly, covered in foil on a bed of garlic cloves (no need to peel them) and sprigs of Rosemary. Be sure to let it rest for a few minutes before carving so that the juices are sucked back into the meat.
Definitely my favourite roast meat although I think shoulder of lamb is even more tasty.

In addition to the garlic slivers and/or rosemary in the slits, I add anchovies................the gravy made with those juices is fan-bl00dy-tastic............
