The perfect roast dinner?

wigginsmum

I'm doing roast lamb on Saturday for Mum's birthday and want it to be the best roast she's ever had. So far I'll be doing:

- Boneless leg of lamb (is this the best lamb joint for roasting?)
- Roast potatoes in dripping
- Roast parsnips
- Swede mashed with real butter and pepper
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Peas
- Yorkshire puds
- Stuffing
- Gravy, mint jelly, mint sauce, redcurrant jelly

Have I missed anything out, apart from invitations for you lot ?

Sounds delicious to me!!!! Must admit, i do love apple sauce with my roast dinners as well (not just pork!!!)

Just a thought, swede and carrots are nice mashed together Might save a serving dish and you can cook them together

No sprouts? I love sprouts.

I would allways go for a bone in joint as it keeps it moist. I acyually really like shoulder of lamb. Insert garlic and rosemary, yummy

Have to admit that I'd also go for a joint on a bone.

Much more interested in where my invite is though......roast lamb is my favourite.

It sounds delicious, I agree with Strepsy about the sprouts though.

It sounds delicious. :drool:

My favourite roast lamb is leg with the bone in and lots of slivers of garlic and rosemary. I have to agree with the others, lose the broccoli and add sprouts.
