I'm tempted to buy the leg of lamb but have no idea how I'd cook it?!

How are you guys cooking it? How many does an average leg of lamb feed?

IMHO unless you're one of those who insists on their lamb being pink inside, the best way to roast a leg of lamb is:
1. slice carrots and onions into the bottom of a roasting dish with a lip around the rim and throw in a few sprigs of fresh rosemary (thym also works well)
2. place lamb on top of veggies
3. slice 1 or 2 garlic cloves into very thin shards
4. pierce deep holes all over the lamb with a sharp knife
5. poke a garlic shard and a small sprig of fresh rosemary into each of the holes in the lamb
5. pour a bottle of white wine (or red if preferred - both lovely) over the lamb and crumble a lamb stock cube into the wine and top up with water to approximately halfway up the meat
6. (important step!) get a large piece of foil and tuck it under the lip of the roasting tin all the way around, ensuring that it is airtight. try to keep the foil from touching the lamb to allow heat to circulate properly.
7. Turn the oven on max to preheat and put the roasting tin on high on the hob
8. listen for the liquid to start boiling.
9. Allow to boil for approx 10 mins to get plenty of hot air circulating under the foil
10. put the roasting tin in the oven on high for 10 mins
11. turn the oven down to low for around 2 hours and leave to cook down into a very juicy and tender lamb that will slide off the bone - byooooooootiful! (be careful when removing the foil as steam will gush out!!!!!!). DO NOT TAKE A SNEAKY PEAK UNDER THE FOIL DURING COOKING AS YOU WILL RUIN IT!
12. Remove lamb and veggies from the tin and allow to rest on a plate while you make the gravy
13. put the roasting tin back on the hob on high
14. when it comes back to bubbling, sprinkle about a tablespoon of cornflour into the liquid and stir in with a wooden spoon, mashing any flour lumps agains the tin. I find blitzing it with a hand blender to get rid of lumps gives a quicker, better and smoother result. You should now have a lovely rich thickened gravy - add more cornflour if it's not thick enough.
15. keep stiring for a few minutes and let the liquid boil to cook the cornflour out (then you wont taste it)
16. Serve with spuds and veggies (and cheap expensive wine)
17. enjoy
18. revel in the praise that yor fellow diners heap upon you!!!!

hope it all goes well - it always has for me - a real crowd pleaser.

Can't wait to cook my £21 leg of lamb! (is it me or is that ridiculously overpriced - seemed much cheaper in M&S today although to be fair i didn't notice price per kg?).

it's vastly over priced, but with 6 legs in the freezer i'm not complaining........lol

aldi had legs of lamb in yesterday for around £9, they seemed big

never_too_old

went to do a normal shop today , no room in freezer so had to be store cupboard items , had a pre cap voucher.It was really hard not to pick up the wrong things.Got a meal deal, total came to £91 , multi saves got it down by over £12, had a coop voucher and my dtd voucher , final bill £ 7 , he didnt bat an eyelid, just put it through.:D

I can't cope!! What on earth will we have for Sunday lunch tomorrow if I don't get my vouchers?
I feel so guilty too, one of my friends and one of mums both did their first shops yesterday and Mum did her first shop on Thursday I feel like I've lied to them!!

Good evening all

Just got back from T's and was about to input my voucher......

Then saw the following after the CASH and CHANGE DUE


CC_PTV:eek:

I can only assume it means; Can't complain, Pricey Tesco voucher.

Anyone else had this or have I been rumbled?:eek:

Just back from 2 separate transactions - one has CC_PTV in big letters, the other one doesn't. Both paid using a receipt that was paid for with a coupon, so can't explain the difference?

Huggies Baby Wipes are still showing £2.59 on Tesco for me ???
