Funnily enough I did a leg of lamb as a spontaneous dinner party esque 
affair on Saturday night. I ...


1. Stabbed it alot with a knife. 
2. Stuffed garlic into the stab holes.
3. Grated the zest of a lemon and smeared that over it. 
4. Squeezed over the juice of the lemon
5. Sprinkled over a fairly large quantity of coarse rock salt to form a 
   crust
6. Whacked it in the oven at 220 degrees celcius for 20 minutes then 
   turned it down to 180 and left for a couple of hours


Served with sort of smashed potato with rosemary and garlic (mmm, more 
garlic), roasted cherry tomatos and ramiro peppers (big like a normal 
pepper, look like a chilli, taste about half way between the two) and 
some sliced courgettes fried off in olive oil until they caught sightly 
and then drizzled with balsamic.

> Also, while im here. Suggestions for parsnips other than roasting.

Mashed. Lovely.
