directions

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
  • In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.
  • Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin.
  • Place the lamb on top of the onions.
  • Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around - not over - the lamb.
  • Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil.
  • Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour.
  • When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb.
  • Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together.
  • Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.

<p><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket />&nbsp;<br />Happily married and&nbsp;the proud mum of a beautiful daughter aged 5 and a baby son who was born on 10/04/10. Really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, especially north American, French, Greek and Mexican. Have many cookbooks which I often pick from but love Nigel Slaters recipes and attitude, Charmaine Solomon for her Asian recipes and I am also a subscriber to Good Food Mag. I try to source good quality ingredients particularly meat and organic veg as I believe that <br />good ingredients can make a meal truely special. Have been lucky enough to find a wonderful farmer/butcher in Wales who only sells his own produce which is fantastic and I always stock up on a whole lamb for the freezer when I go there! <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HycMLGzpJjc/S-3vqYbQ-3I/AAAAAAAAAAo/UwzmbgtkT30/s1600/MischiefMakers.jpg[/img></a></p>
