Roast Leg of Welsh Lamb

Weigh joint and calculate cooking time. Line a roasting pan with 2 sheets of foil & place the lamb leg onto the foil. Mix together the gin & cranberry jelly and spoon this over the lamb. Scrunch the foil around the joint, but leave the top exposed.

Baste occasionally during cooking.

Cut the onions in half horizontally (stalk at top) and using a spoon scoop out some of the layers leaving 2-3 in the shell.

Roughly chop the removed onion. In a pan heat butter and lightly fry onion.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the rosemary and sausage meat and combine together.

Take a handful of mixture and stuff into onion shells. Prop up around the joint, drizzle with a little olive oil and cook for 40-50 minutes until onion soft and fully golden. Rest the joint for about 15 minutes.

Serve with roasted potatoes, baked onions, seasonal vegetables and cranberry gin meat juices.
