This is my mums version of a Sunday Roast. It is just a few ingredients and absolutely perfect. No one has ever left having eaten this and not asked for the recipe! It wholesome hearty comfort food at its best. The potatoes will get nice and golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My favourite part are the onions, I generally add an extra one for myself. The tomatoes add to the gravy and keep the potatoes moist.
3 kg/7lb
leg of lamb
In a
large roasting pan keep stirring till it turns into a paste
3 tbsp
English Mustard powder
7 tbsp Vinegar
3 tbsp brown
sugar
1 tsp salt
Freshly
cracked black pepper
Pierce
the piece of meat all over and place inside the pan. Turn all around to try and
marinade all sides of the Leg of Lamb.
Peel 4
large potatoes and cut them into big chunks of 4 each
Toss
them lightly in a tbsp. of oil and sprinkle additional salt over it.
Thickly
slice 4 onions
Cut 4
tomatoes into 4 wedges each.
Place all around and pour 4 cups water.
Now in a preheated oven of 400F/205C place the meat in the roasting pan for 45 minutes. Turn, baste and put it back in for another 45
minutes to brown on the other side. Turn again. Add more water if needed at
least another 1 cup.
Turn the heat low to 350F/175C degrees, cover
tightly with a foil all over, and place back into the oven for another one
hour. Check yet again and keep cooking till it is tender enough to easily fall of the bone. Keep it covered so the potatoes and
vegetables do not get burnt. The whole process takes approximately 4 hours.
Once done, remove and let it rest for 10
minutes before trying to slice the roast.
The gravy will be thick and golden brown and
meat can be sliced and put back into the roasting pan dunked into the gravy or
kept aside; as your family prefers.
