Roast Lamb

Lamb is a cheap meal for us - due to home kill - I have got quite good at making lots of different lamb meals. My roast lamb is prepared with slits in the meat & insert cloves of garlic (home grown - when my new garden is underway I am going to plant a lot more garlic) and rosemary. Plus lots of fresh sea salt.
A rosemary bush is a must have in the garden - Do you know a home where rosemary thrives is ruled by a woman.

I like cooking roasts - once all prepared it pretty much cooks by itself leaving me time to do something I like - usually sneak some craft work in, and the left over meat is good for lunch.
Roast lamb served with roast potatoes, yams, kumera, carrots, cabbage & spinach & frozen mint peas with gravy.
My photo taking is getting better - some of the meals have looked blah in photos - I bet for all the glossy cookbooks the food is cold.

Rosemary originally came from the Mediterranean and was brought to northern Europe by the Romans. It is used in cooking, as a medicine, and as a pest control. It has been considered an herb of romance and faithfulness throughout the centuries. It is used in wedding decorations, as a charm ensuring fidelity and remembrance and given as gifts. Legend says that a man who doesn't like the scent of rosemary will be a lousy lover.
