SLOW ROASTED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Prep: Mix the stuffing to combine the ingredients. Rub the lamb with the mixture. Reserve the solids and most of the liquid for the stuffing. Tie the roast and refrigerate overnight.

• Roasting: Preheat the oven to 225°F Rub the herbs onto the roast. Place the roast in a pan. Add liquid of choice, apple, pineapple, stout beer, Madeira are all good choices. You can use water at first and add flavor later in the roast. You can baste or rotate the roast. Basting maintains a better presentation of the herb crust. Rotating improves flavor and moisture. You can always finish with fresh herbs. Cook to 145F minimum temperature. Note, you can remove the meat at 5 degrees early as the temperature will rise during the rest. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/meat-preparation/focus-on-lambfrom-farm-to-table/CT_Index.
