Recipe for Leg of Lamb for Easter Dinner

Ingredients:

Leg of Lamb, Spring Lamb Preferred, about 4-5 pounds
Sea Salt to taste  
Black Pepper to taste
Unbleached Flour-about 1/4 cup
Cloves of Garlic, about 6
Cooking Oil -perhaps 2-3 tablespoons
Water  1/4 cup, just to cover bottom of pan.
Potatoes  6 , halved
Onions  6, quartered
Carrots 6-8 whole
Celery 6-8 stalks, whole

Choose a nice quality leg of lamb, Spring Lamb Preferred.
Season some flour with sea salt and pepper and mix.
Now, gently pat the seasoned flour over the entire leg of lamb.
 
Next, make several slits on the top (fat side)  and sides of the lamb, and insert chopped cloves of garlic.  Garlic Powder or salt will not work.   (I usually make about 6 slits on top, and 2 on each side)

Place the leg of lamb in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
Put about 1/4 cup to 1 cup of water on bottom of the pan, just enough to cover bottom.   Now, take potatoes,  onions, celery and carrots and surround the leg of lamb!  Use as many vegetables as you need to serve your guests. Season again with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle the lamb and vegetables with cooking oil to keep moist, but don't saturate.

Place roasting pan in a 425 degree oven.  This will brown the top fat.   Turn down the oven to 375 degrees after 1/2 hour.  Be sure to turn vegetables after an hour.

Follow baking times according to the size of lamb you have. a 4-5 pound lamb , with roasting pan full of vegetables, takes about 2 hours, depending on the stove you use.  Be sure to baste the lamb and vegetables with the pan juices a few times while roasting
