Roast Leg Of Lamb With Pancetta, Sage And Rosemary

A sinner does not “decide” for Christ; the sinner “flies” to Christ in utter helplessness and despair saying – Foul, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Saviour, or I die. No man truly comes to Christ unless he flies to Him as his only refuge and hope, his only way of escape from the accusations of conscience and the condemnation of God's holy law. Nothing else is satisfactory. If a man says that having thought about the matter and having considered all sides he has on the whole decided for Christ, and if he has done so without any emotion or feeling, I cannot regard him as a man who has been regenerated. The convicted sinner no more “decides” for Christ than the poor drowning man “decides” to take hold of that rope that is thrown to him and suddenly provides him with the only means of escape. The term is entirely inappropriate.

INGREDIENTS

1		Leg of lamb, about 2 kg
1		Handful fresh sage
1		Clove garlic
		Salt and freshly ground
		black pepper
1		Lemon, juice of
		Olive oil
1		Handful fresh rosemary
85	g	Pancetta, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

With a knife, follow the lamb bone down about 10-12cm/4" to make a
'tunnel' where you cut the meat away from the bone. Do this from the
top end and bottom end.  2 Pierce the skin at an angle with a sharp
pointed knife six or eight  times at random around the leg. Where you
have made the incisions,  open them up a bit by poking your fingers
down them to make a bit of  space.  3 With a pestle and mortar, smash
up half the sage with the garlic  and 1 tsp salt. When pulped, add the
lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil,  rest of the sage and the rosemary,
roughly chopped. Stuff the mixture  into all the incisions and gaps you
have made with the knife.  4 Stuff the pancetta deep into the gaps
along the bone and incisions.  Season with salt and cook in a preheated
oven at 225c/425f/Gas 7 until  cooked.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Recipe
