Leg of lamb
Marinating time: 6 hours
Preparation time: 60–80 minutes
Ingredients:
1.5 kg leg of lamb with bones, 3 cloves
garlic, 3 onions, 1/4 l hot meat broth,
1/8 l dry white wine, 1 tsp corn starch
For the marinade:
70 g tomato paste, 1 TBSP flour, 1 tsp
salt, 2 TBSP lemon juice, 1 tsp dried
rosemary, ¼ tsp caraway seed, ¼ tsp
pepper
Preparation: Cut a shallow cross shape
into the leg of lamb and use a sharp knife
to make small incisions for spiking with
the peeled and sliced garlic. Combine
the tomato paste with the flour, salt, le-
mon juice, rosemary, caraway seed and
pepper. Spread this mixture on the leg
of lamb and marinate in the refrigerator
for 6 hours. Place the leg of lamb in an
ovenproof dish at the bottom level in the
oven. Cover the roast with onion rings.
Roast about 150-180 minutes at 180°C
with top and bottom heat. When the oni-
ons are brown, move them to the bottom
of the pan and add some meat broth.
Gradually pour the remaining meat broth
and the wine over the leg of lamb and
turn it after about 2/3 of the cooking
time. When it has finished cooking,
switch off the oven and leave the leg of
lamb in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Loosen the pan juices with a little wa-
ter, thicken with corn starch and season
to taste. Leg of lamb is complemented
very well by green beans and au gratin
potatoes.
