ingredients
- 1 leg of lamb (about 6lbs)
- 4 garlic cloves (sliced)
- 20 whole garlic cloves
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 2 small onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 carrots (peeled)
- 1 bouquet garni
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup flour (may need more depending on humidity levels)
- 1 cup water
directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F
- Make many small incisions in lamb, place slivers of garlic in each incision.
- Rub lamb well with olive oil, season with salt & pepper. (At this point I would brown the lamb on all sides—but that’s not necessary.)
- Place it in Dutch oven and add onions, carrots, bouquet garni, garlic, wine. Put lid on Dutch oven.
- Combine flour and water, make a 'caulk' and use it to seal the lid to the dutch oven.
- Place it in the 300 degree oven and cook for 7 hours. Yes, 7 hours. (no peeking--leave it alone.).
- Remove the Dutch oven and break the seal. You don't have to eat the cooked flour paste.
