Tonight I slow cooked a half lamb leg in the same way I cook the slow roasted lamb shoulder. Whilst it should have turned out the same, it was a little drier than the shoulder. It was stringy and tender, but it did lack the delicious moisture that you find when the shoulder is slow roasted.
Maybe 4.5 hours for a half leg was too long? Anyway, whilst it was really good, it wasn't a pinch on the slow roasted shoulder!
Jap pumpkin, sweet potato and Pontiacs were the roasting vegetables of choice and they went into the oven at the 3.5 hour mark to given them an hour to cook at the 160c temperature, alongside the lamb.
I tossed the veggies in olive oil, pepper and Murray River Pink salt.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums who (legally) cannot enjoy the company of their families this Mother's Day.
If you cook your mum a leg of lamb, do it in 2 hours, not 4.5!
BTW: I have enjoyed the many customers who have come up to me to say 'you don't really do all that cooking do you?"
