Leg of Lamb Recipe can be an Easter Brunch Recipe but Better for Easter Dinner

A leg of lamb recipe is very popular at Easter in many countries, both in Europe and South America. The following directions for roasting a leg of lamb are simple and will produce a delicious dinner. Some people will choose to serve a lamb chop recipe but always sticking with lamb. Below is one of the Polish recipes for lamb chops but also could be found on a Greek menu. This recipe could be changed to a South American recipe by adding cilantro and jalapenos.

Preheat oven to 300F degrees.

Wipe leg of lamb with a damp cloth. Dredge with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper and ground ginger. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet. Chop a small onion and add to the oil. Add 1 clove of minced garlic to the oil and onion. Sauté until tender. Add to the skillet 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons catsup, 1/8 teaspoon sugar and 1 pint of boiling water. Place the leg of lamb into a roasting pan and pour the hot liquid mixture over the top. Bake slowly until very tender, spooning mixture over the top of the lamb occasionally.

A lamb chop recipe is almost as popular as a leg of lamb recipe for Easter.
