“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."

Roasted Spring Leg Of Lamb With Sweet Mint Sauce Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tbsp chopped mint
1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 spring leg of lamb - (abt 5 to 5 1/2 lbs), fat removed
1 tsp olive oil
=== SWEET MINT SAUCE ===
1/2 oz fresh mint leaves
= (abt 1/2 cup loosely packed)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp water
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/8 tsp sugar substitute, or to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/8 tsp kosher salt

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Using a sharp knife, make slits 1 inch deep all over the lamb. Insert the garlic. In a small bowl, combine the mint and rosemary. Rub the lamb with the olive oil and the herb mixture.

Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast until an instant meat thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat, away from the bone, registers 135 degrees for rare or 140 degrees, about another 45 minutes.

To make Sweet Mint Sauce: In a food processor or blender, place the mint, oil, vinegar, water, garlic, and sugar substitute. Process until smooth. Add the pepper and salt. Set aside until ready to serve.

To serve, slice thin slices of lamb and top each serving with 2 teaspoons of the mint sauce.
