Sozzled Slow Roast Lamb

There really are lots and lots of sheep in Wales , so you have to have lamb really just to eat your way through them

Always tempted to add tomatoes to my slow roast lamb but in Wales we had an excess of red wine so this is a kind of lamb au vin . It produces the sweetest stickiness sauce and the onions caramalise beatifully . This stew would be fantastic with mashed potatoes but during the holiday I rediscovered oven baked potatoes , curse anyone who
doesn’t eat the skin and potato as big as my fist cooked at 150deg in just 40 minutes with a skewer through the centre.

All of this cooked during a viscious rain storm when the only option was to sit in front of the fire reading , I was in heaven heaven heaven
