Uaineoil Faoi Chrusta (crusty Roast Lamb)

Imagine a father who claims to love his children but takes no action to stop them from becoming drug addicts or prostitutes. Or imagine seeing a brother in Christ walking alone heading straight toward quicksand, but you say nothing and walk away in silence. This isn’t genuine love; it’s apathy. It is not loving one’s neighbor as oneself; it is not loving as Jesus loved. Yet this is what we are like when we refuse to correct a wayward believer, to reprove sinful behavior, or to warn others of false teachers.

INGREDIENTS

1		Shoulder of lamb, 4 lb
1	c	Fresh breadcrumbs
		Pinch mixed herbs
2	T	Butter, soft
1 1/2	lb	Potatoes, peeled sliced
1		Lg onion, diced
1		Lg cooking apple*
10	oz	Chicken stock

INSTRUCTIONS

Peeled, cored and sliced. Wipe the lamb over, and cut criss-cross
slits around the top.  Mix together the breadcrumbs, herbs, butter,
salt and pepper.  Rub the mixture onto the top of the meat, pressing
down well so that it sticks.  Fill the bottom of the roasting pan  with
the vegetables and apple, mixing them and the seasoning well.  Put the
joint on top, then pour the stock into the pan, but not over  the meat.
-- Cover loosely with a piece of foil and bake at 400 F for  half an
hour. Then lower the heat to 350F, and cook for a further  20-25
minutes to the pound. Take off the foil for the final half  hour, and
check that the vegetables are nearly cooked. Finish the  cooking
without the foil, to let the top get brown and crusty.  File

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
