Honey Glazed Roast Lamb With Honey Mint Sauce image

When you invite friends over for Sunday lunch it's a time to relax, not be stuck in the kitchen among the pots and pans. This Roast Lamb is an excellent choice, especially when partnered with rosemary and honey and a sauce using fresh mint. The honey glaze turns the joint a lovely golden colour, and the honey-sweetened mint sauce is a flavoursome change from the sharp vinegary taste of traditional recipes. Serve with a hot gratin of Dauphinoise Potatoes and some braised leeks for a really special meal.

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 -3 sprigs fresh rosemary, bruised leaves
1 (4 1/2 lb) leg of lamb, about
1 large onion, peeled and thickly sliced
2 medium carrots, pared and thickly sliced
2 tablespoons clear honey
10 fluid ounces dry cider
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 1/2 fluid ounces white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons clear honey
4 -6 tablespoons of fresh mint, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the flour, salt, pepper, cinnamon and rosemary and rub well into the lamb on all sides.
  • Lay the onion and carrot in the bottom of the roasting tin and the lamb on top.
  • Roast, allowing 25 to 30 minutes per 500g (1 lb 2oz) of weight, less for a pinker meat.
  • Turn the joint halfway through to cook evenly.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce; warm the vinegar and honey until the honey has dissolved, then stir in the mint and leave to cool.
  • About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, carefully lift out the meat and strain off the fat from the roasting tin (leave the vegetables).
  • Replace the meat, best side up.
  • Spread with the honey, and add the cider to the pan.
  • Return to the oven, increasing the heat to 375*F, and finish roasting, basting once or twice.
  • Lift the joint and vegetables on to a hot serving platter.
  • Blend the cornstarch with 1 TBS of cold water, add to the roasting tin and boil, stirring for a few minutes to make gravy.
  • Strain into a hot sauceboat.
  • Serve the lamb with the hot cider gravy and honey mint sauce.
