  • Greek Roast Lamb Leg with some English touches

    Greek Roast Lamb Leg with some English touches

    Yes these are all text messaged recipes, but occasionally, just occasionally, I manage to be in town to enjoy the finished product.

    Thats what’s happened this weekend. My brother has taken the base recipe from Scrummy Lane, selected a nice leg of lamb and kicked on.

    Cooking starts the day before with prepping and marinading, and in this case also cooking up some Yorkshire Puddings. The next day the roast is in the oven for about 7 hours from 5am.

    As I was dropping by to offer him a ride to our folks, I got to take a photo of the bees hard at work on the flowering rosemary he used for the marinade.

    The end result was delicious, although in my final photo I didn’t have the gravy on which was amazing.

  • Roast Lamb Leftovers = Easy Yiros

    Roast Lamb Leftovers = Easy Yiros

    This doesn’t really require much of an explanation.

    Lamb leftovers – toasted Pita bread, hit with store bought Tzatziki for zero effort and you’re off to the races.

    Fair to say that normal texted image quality has been resumed.

  • Lamb Roast leftovers…

    Lamb Roast leftovers…

    Because he principally cooks for himself, my brother is quite the master of using left overs.

    Lamb leftovers put to use in a Roast Lamb Yiros (aka Souvlaki) or sandwiches or…

    Grab a supermarket Pita, a little lettuce and some sauce.

    Zero time. Apparently delicious.

  • Slow Cooked Lamb Leg

    Slow Cooked Lamb Leg

    My brother loves cooking lamb.

    He’s go to is usually a lamb shoulder, very slow cooked.

    This is one of his favourite recipes as a starting point. https://www.recipetineats.com/slow-roasted-rosemary-garlic-lamb-shoulder/

    This was a lamb leg cooked as a family lunch for my mum and dad over Easter.

    Normally you might attack a lamb leg with higher heat for shorter time, but he’s used the same technique. Very slow cooked in braising liquid.

    Yes the Yorkies were burnt slightly.

    The left overs got put to use in a Roast Lamb Yiros (aka Souvlaki) is another different post.
