Coffee Leg of Lamb
4-5 lb. lamb for roasting
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp salt (I use ¼ tsp instead)
¼ tsp pepper
1 ¼ cups very strong coffee
2 tbsp flour
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup light cream
2 tbsp red currant jelly
1. Remove fat from roast. Cut slits in meat and add slivers of garlic.
2. Add salt and pepper.
3. Put in a roasting pan. Cook at 325F for one hour.
4. Baste with coffee. Finish cooking. Baste often.
5. Remove the meat from pan.
6. Make a paste of the leftover coffee, flour, and water.
7. Stir in the cream and jelly.
8. Heat and stir at intervals until thickened. Serve as gravy.
This recipe is suitable year round, as the dish can easily be done
on the barbeque and the gravy cooked on the burner of the BBQ.
Not suitable for slimmers, but well worth it for everyone else.
