Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound new potatoes

  • 12 ounces baby carrots

  • 1 (5 pound) leg of lamb

  • 30 cloves garlic, peeled

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup coarse-grain brown mustard

  • 1 cup beer

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and carrots; cook in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Rinse leg of lamb, pat dry, and place in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper; rub into meat. Use a small knife to make incisions big enough for a garlic clove to fit all over lamb. Stuff garlic cloves into the holes. Spoon mustard over lamb; rub into meat.

  4. Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes and carrots to the roasting pan. Baste lamb with beer, reserving the rest for basting at 20-minute intervals.

  5. Continue to roast lamb until the internal temperature reaches at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium rare, about 1 hour 30 minutes more.

  6. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving. Spoon pan drippings over meat and vegetables to serve.

This is my all time favorite... I serve it with mash potatoes and green beans. the sauce makes an excellent 'gravy' for the potatoes. When I don't have deer meat, I use London broil.

Ginataang Manok (Chicken Cooked in Coconut Milk)

This ginataang manok is a Filipino chicken dish flavored with ginger and coconut milk. Each family has their own version; this is my mother's. It's a rich dish that makes your kitchen smell so wonderful! Once my family smells the ginger frying and coconut milk simmering, they can't wait for it to be done so they can dig in. I salt it liberally, as the coconut milk tends to hide the salt flavor.
