6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Apricot jam
2 tablespoons Honey mustard
2 Garlic cloves; chopped
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
3 pounds Lamb leg; butterflied
½ cup Red wine
1 cup Beef stock; canned/homemade
Salt
Ground pepper; to taste

Directions

The crisp coating keeps the lamb succulent and juicy. Bake 10 minutes longer for medium-done. If you use frozen lamb, defrost in the refrigerator overnight. 1. Combine jam, mustard, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil and rosemary. Reserve 2 tb of marinade for sauce. Brush remainder all over lamb. Season well with salt and pepper. 2.

Marinate for 30 minutes. 3. Broil lamb for 3 minutes per side. Then bake lamb at 425F(220C) fat side up for 20 minutes or until just pink. Remove from oven and let rest on a serving dish for 10 minutes.

Pour off any fat in pan. 4. Add red wine to pan and reduce to 1 tb.

Add beef broth, reserved marinade and any extra lamb juices from the serving dish. Bring to boil and hoil for 2 minutes. 5. Slice lamb in thin slices against the grain. Serve with some sauce poured over.

Serve with a Merlot wine from Ontario Canada, California USA, or St Emilion. A chianti is another fine match.
