Leg of Lamb



Ingredients

 * 1 Leg of Lamb
 * Salt, Pepper
 * 1 cup Cream
 * 2-3 tablespoons Flour

Directions
Put the Leg of Lamb on a grid in a roasting pan and pour 1 litre (2 pints) of water into the pan. You can also put the Leg of Lamb in a roasting bag, and then you do not add water. Place into oven, then heat oven to 150-175 deg C (280-325 deg F), and roast for one hour for each kilo (2 lbs) of weight. Pour the stock from the pan over the Leg of Lamb occasionally with a spoon. For the last half hour of cooking switch on the grill, and grill the Leg of Lamb on both sides. If you use a roasting bag, open it for the last half hour and grill in the same way. Sieve the stock into a casserole and skim off the fat. Thicken the sauce with flour, or your favourite thickening, season and colour with gravy browning. Add the cream and remove from the heat.

Serve with your choice of vegetables and Caramel Potatoes.
