Recipe - Roast Leg of Lamb

Ingredients:
1 leg of lamb
onion
leek
3 cloves garlic
bacon
paprika (sweet)
salt, pepper

Preparation:

Wash meat with cold water. Quarter garlic cloves. Lard meat with garlic and bacon, i.e., make small holes in the meat at regular intervals and insert a garlic piece wrapped with bacon in each hole.

Rub salt on all sides of the meat. Then rub in pepper and paprika.

Pour a bit of oil into a baking pan and set the leg of lamb in the pan. Add sliced onion and leek.

Add a small cup of water. Vegetable stock may also be added as desired.

Place the leg of lamb in the oven at 200° C for about 21/2 hours. Be sure to baste the meat regularly with the cooking liquid so that it does not dry out. Turn the meat after ¾ hour so that it is well done on both sides.

Potato purée and butterhead lettuce make excellent side dishes.
