LAMB ROAST

We’re just back from a terrific holiday in Europe.  We ate lots of great meals in Italy, France and England, but as always it’s good to be home – back to the land of affordable lamb and beef.  This is my favourite Lamb Roast recipe, I wrote it down for Mum years ago.  As you can see it’s a bit sketchy, there’s no quantities you just put as much onion and potato in the baking dish as you need.

LAMB ROAST

Fry onions in butter or margarine.  Tip into the bottom of a baking pan and cover with sliced potatoes.  Pour over beef stock until not quite covered.  Generously rub salt and pepper into a leg of lamb.   Put the lamb on a rack over the onion & potato mix and bake at 180o.  Cooking time depends on the size of the leg of lamb, but it needs a bit extra time to crisp up the onion & potato.

 

Thank you to everyone who’s been following BebsRecipeDrawer since I started it              last year. Next week I’m heading off to Europe for a lovely long holiday,                            but I’ll be back in late October with some more of Mum’s recipes.                   Cheers, Lynne

RICH IRISH STEW

This recipe was published by the Australian Meat Board to promote lamb and Mum would have picked the leaflet up from the counter at her local butcher’s shop.    It’s a recipe I’ve cooked a lot over the years and still do.  You can’t beat a lamb casserole on a cold winter’s night can you?

SHERRIED GRAPEFRUIT

I was surprised to find this cutting amongst Mum’s collection as I didn’t realise she had the recipe.  It was a starter I made a lot when I first got married.  I wasn’t much of cook then and this could be prepared beforehand and was easy to make.  It tasted quite good and always seemed to be enjoyed, but it shows how much tastes have changes as I don’t think I’d serve it up to anyone these days.
