It was called Easter Lamb. Layers of potatoes, lamb, pecorino, parmesan, tomatoes, crushed garlic and parsley. What's not to like..... apart from gout!

Thanks.

Cooked that the other evening for the neighbours. They were seriously impressed!
Might have to do it again soon.

Will have a go at this. Found the recipe.
Maybe serve with a simply dressed salad on the side?

Boneless leg lamb 1.25kg ..cut into small cubes
5tbsp EV olive oil
750 ..800gm peeled floury pots cut into 5mm thick slices
375gm small tomatoes halved
Handful of flat leaf parsely
3 large cloves garlic chopped
50g grated pecorino
50gm grated parmesan
Salt & ground black Pepper
Preheat oven to 180C

In a casserole dish 2 tbspns olive oil. Spread one third of the pots over, season, then scatter half the meat over ..season Remove seeds from toms . Scatter half the toms, parsley and garlic over the lamb, season .Then half the cheeses and another tbsp olive oil. Season .Then another third of the pots ,rest of the meat and the rest of the toms,garlic etc Cover with the remaining pots season again sprinkle more cheese on top and the rest of the olive oil .
Cover and bake for 30 mins Then uncover and bake for about an hour until the lamb and pots are tender and it has a cheesy crust .

Pretty much what I did, however I cooked it covered for about 3 hrs and 30 mins uncovered to brown off with an extra sprinkle of parmesan. I like the lamb to be really soft!

Very nice it was too
I cooked it covered on 150 for 2.5 hours & turned the oven up to 180 to cook for the last 30 minutes uncovered.
The lamb was meltingly tender & the top nice & crispy & cheesey. Lamb & cheese sounds a bit weird, but this dish works. I didn't need any more liquid cooking it this way. It seemed just about right. The choice of simply dressed salad leaves (1 part lemon juice to 3 parts E.V olive oil s&p) was a good one. You really need anything more to accompany it.

Roast gammon and trimmings.

Gammon looks good and a bit healthier than my offering this evening..





Rolled rib eye, yorkies, roast spuds and gravy.

Roast dinner for one.

Cheers you need one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005YZUWLS/ref=pd_...

Out the fridge until room temp, 2-4hrs depending on cut, sear all over, into oven at 180c for 1hr for above 800g joint, but for best results check with thermometer above and whip of it out at 50-55c and keep warm and rest on hot plate while you finish off roasties and yorkies.

Other joints such as rolled rump require a low and slow approach but equally aa good.

Finished work early, so got a chance to spend some time in the kitchen for a change!

Marinated leg of lamb in lemon zest, garlic, rosemary and then studded with garlic and rosemary, with potatoes dauphinoise, Mediterranean roasted vegetables, leeks with pancetta and garlic and home made red wine gravy! Yum!

The presentation is a little misleading; I do have a bit to learn on that front. But, in truth I did consider doing both breasts. On the plus side, I've another for lunch.

As for the "Hast thou nowt moist?" comment, duck breasts don't need sauce unless you plan cremating them. And I don't.

Sat night, hungry and can't be assed to drive out for a curry. What did we have inthe freezer?

Exactly. Just de-glaze them with a little raspberry vinegar

Having a look at this thread was never going to be good on a Monday lunch time. I can't think of anything else I would rather be eating than that lamb right now!

[jogon]

That lamb looks very good.

Fillet steak and mash for me this evening.



Only £8 for that lump from Sainsburys am liking their beef on fresh meat counter.

Nom, extra points for nothing green

WOW if I was on death row I think that would probably be my choice for my last meal.

The only difference being I suspect that was cooked for a whole family whereas you would undoubtably eat all that on your own
