Lamb leg.

lovely produce. foraged herbs (bay leaf, rosemary, parsley) , lemons, local honey, home made BBQ sauce, salt, pepper, Lamb Leg, good olive oil  

usually a recipe for spring, but this July we just had the most amazing "spring day" on the farm. 

take the lamb and do your best at de boning it. Just try to make sens of the joints and the lines of the bones if you haven't done it before. Despite what you may hear, you can't actually fail completely. it may be a bit messy, but be confident with a sharp knife and use your fingers to find the lines of the bone an watch for the little blade of bone in there too which is a doozy. 

chop some rosemary 

mix it with some honey and BBQ sauce. there is a good recipe in a recent Jamie cookbook I think? google maybe? certainly don't turn to this blog for proper recipes! 

marinate 

seal skin side down, pre heated, then on a low heat let it crackle away for quite some time. 

place the bones on the grill, low heat. rosemary sticks too

turn the lamb over and rest the uncooked side over the bones, so it does not gain contact with the grill. 

garnish and close the hood for 45 minutes/an hour. 

 pepper it well. serve with a rustic salad of haloumi, tomato and leaves, lemon, chopped parsley and sea salt. some natural yogurt would work well too. some steamed potatoes under the lamb in this instance. 

as you can see, this is to be served medium-well. Don't worry, it doesn't go dry, its amazingly tender and sticky. slice it 1cm (ish) 

a touch more home made BBQ sauce

some home made rye with lashings of home made butter. 

take some fresh carrots, young so they have a powerful carrot flavour. 

clean them well.

 roast some slivered almonds

create a salad with goats cheese, iceberg lettuce, carrots and almonds. 

happy Russian Easter.

look up a brioche recipe, if you can't find a good one  email me on the address below. I didn't sign up to do much typing on this blog.

combine a bread roll with half a brown onion. blitz

combine good rump mince (ask  butcher for a little extra fat - go on!) one organic biodynamic yolk, w/shire sauce, email me if you want a home made recipe  - thewashedupchef@gmail.com

roll and flatten. they will shrink a little so make a little bigger than the bun itself.
