NORTHWEST WINDS - Greek style lamb roast


THE 20 MPH NW winds will keep the air in the 60's today. Even the tide is excellent for swimming the ocean is also in the 60's. THE SKY WILL BE A MIXTURE OF CLOUDS AND SUN AND THERE MAY BE SOME QUICK SQUALLS BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL THEY WILL REACH THE BEACH.

LEG OF LAMB - GREEK STYLE

Leg of Lamb - 9 lb
Garlic, 3 heads peel cloves and slicer 6
Beef broth - 2 cups
Red wine - 2 cups
Rosemary - 3 TBL
Kosher salt
Black pepper, fresh ground
 
Oven at 375
Poke the lamb with sharp knife and insert the garlic slices. Rub leg with salt & Pepper and rosemary
Place leg into a shallow baking pan an surround with the garlic cloves. Pour in 1 cup each of the broth and wine. After about 1 ½ hours add the rest of the broth and wine. Cook until leg gets to 160 and remove.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
While the leg is resting alone., place the pan over high heat and reduce the liquid by ½ . Mash and stir the garlic while this is reducing. Pour these juices on the carved pieces of lamb.
