"I made this up to go with JanRoundOz's #21138 Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, a nice change from a thicker gravy. I like making pan gravies when I roast, but with lamb it seems too fatty no matter what I do. I think this would nice on chicken or beef too but that's just me - my friend says she'd have it just over roast potatoes! :-)"

Ingredients:: 6
Yields:: 1 1/4 cups
Serves:: 3

ingredients

2 cups beef stock
1 teaspoon butter or 1 teaspoon margarine, etc
6 garlic cloves, crushed (I LOVE garlic, add (to taste)
2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped
1 small onion, minced
pepper, to taste

directions

Melt butter over low heat.
Cook garlic and onion in the butter over low heat until soft and golden but not caramelised.
Add rosemary and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in stock and stir.
Increase heat to bring stock to a boil, then turn down to a simmer.
Simmer until reduced by about a third and thickened slightly.
Taste for seasoning; add more rosemary if needed and season to taste with pepper.
At this step you could thicken with cornflour and cold water but I like the thinner texture.
Serve hot with roast lamb, crispy potatoes and green vegetables.

I loved this over a regular roast leg of lamb and roast potatoes. I reduced to about half and refrigerated and then finished it off just before serving at my girlfiend's place. I also enjoyed the thinner than gravy texture so didn't add any flour.

<p>I am an Aussie married to my wonderful American husband since 2002. I no longer work having been retired on medical grounds. My main hobby would be cooking and collecting recipes (one can never have enough cookbooks)! We have 2 cute kitties named Jerzee & Zebu, who bring me great joy. I also enjoy watching sports, listening to music and spending time with family and friends. I like almost all types of music, & would go to more concerts if I had more money. Having been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year I am really focussing on eating more & more unprocessed foods. The irony is that I never really had a sweet tooth & now that I've been told to avoid sugar, suddenly alln things sweet seem so delicious!!!  Now that I have more time I plan on cooking more frequently & also trying some more time-consuming recipes.</p>
