Meats Tessa 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

2 1/3 kg Leg of lamb, boned
2 Cloves garlic
Few sprigs fresh spearmint
30 g Softened unsalted butter
Salt & ground black pepper
A good handful of spearmint
1/2 t Sugar
2 T Crab apple jelly
1 Squeeze fresh lemon juice
450 g Cherries

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 220C/gas7. Make small incisions all over lamb with  tip
of sharp knife. Peel garlic & cut into slivers. Insert into  incisions
with spearmint leaves. Rub lamb with a little softened  butter. Season
lightly. Heat a griddle or large skillet until evenly  hot. Sear meat
on all sides to seal.  Transfer lamb to a roasting tin. Roast in a
preheated oven for 50  minutes, turning lamb once during cooking.
Prepare cherry & spearmint  compote while lamb is cooking. Strip leaves
from a good handful of  spearmint. Place on a chopping board and
sprinkle with sugar. Chop  finely.  Heat crab apple jelly in a small
pan. Add chopped mint & continue to  heat until jelly has melted &
there are no lumps.  Add a squeeze of lemon juice if necessary to
enliven flavours. Remove  pan from heat. Stone & add cherries. The heat
from jelly will be  quite enough to soften cherries without allowing
then to cook down to  a pulp. Cool & chill lightly before serving.
Test lamb by inserting a skewer into thickest part of meat & holding
it there for a count of 10. Touch skewer to your lips, if it feels  hot
meat is cooked. Transfer lamb to a warming oven for 10 minutes  before
carving.  Carve lamb & serve overlapping slices with cherry & spearmint
compote  served separately.  DISCLAIMER(c) Copyright 1996 - SelecTV
