6 SERVINGS
1 large garlic clove
1 x 3 to 4 lb. leg of lamb
2 teaspoons prepared mustard teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons flour
SAUCE
4 tablespoons chutney
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 tablespoons red wine
3 tablespoons incited butter
teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to hot 425°F (Gas Mark 7, 220°C).
- Cut the garlic clove into slices. With a sharp, pointed knife make slits in the meat and insert the slices of garlic. In a small bowl mix together the prepared mustard, the ginger, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture over the surface of the meat. Coat the meat with flour.
- In another small bowl mix together all the ingredients for the sauce. Put the lamb in a roasting pan and place in the center of the oven.
- After 20 minutes lower the heat to fairly hot 375°F (Gas Mark 5, 190°C). Pour the sauce over the lamb and roast for 1 hour, or until the lamb is cooked, basting with the sauce every 15 minutes. If the basting liquid starts to dry up, add a little stock, water or wine. The sauce should be fairly thick.
- To serve hot, place the meat on a warmed dish and pour the sauce over it. To serve cold, put the lamb on a cold plate, pour the sauce over it and allow it to cool before slicing.
