Roast Ba-ba

Good old Sunday roast (on a Friday). Perfect if you're home early and want to make a stella meal while not spending much time in the kitchen.


Time: 0hr
Lamb (I got a 1.5kg de-boned rolled lamb leg $12.95/kg)
3 cloves Garlic
Rosemary

Fan bake 160°C
Peel the garlic and cut in half length wise. Pierce the skin of the lamb in random places with a little knife and shove in a piece of garlic. Place in an oven bag, sprinkle with rosemary, tie up the bag place in a tray. Cook for about 15mins PLUS 35mins per .5kg (so 2hrs for this one)

Time: 1hr
Roast Potatoes (1 large or 1.5 medium per person)
Roast Pumpkin (1 wedge per person)
Oil (Canola)
Salt

Peel the potatoes and chop into chunks (try and get them a similar size). Chuck them in the microwave for 6mins on high. While they precook, put some oil into your roasting dish, up to you how much, I try to use only a couple of tablespoons and put in the oven to heat up (this is the key to getting crispy roast potatoes!). Throw in the potatoes and turn them in the oil.
Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, cut into fat wedges, cut wedges in half, microwave for 5mins on high, add to potato dish.
Cook for 30-40mins (if you want them faster microwave for longer)
Sprinkle with salt before serving

Time: 1hr 45min
Cabbage
Slice cabbage into strips place in microwave container with lid (or use glad wrap). Microwave for 4mins on high.

Time: 1hr 50min
Gravy
2Tbs flour
1cup beef stock (add 1t of powdered stock to a cup of water)
Poor 2Tbs of fat out of the lamb pan into a pot. Add 2Tbs of flour. Stir. Gradually add up to 1 cup of beef stock, keep stirring, till it's correct.

I suck at making gravy, so I usually have a 'just add boiling water' packet on standby!

Time: 2hrs
Serve

Bling'd out lamb is not 4 eatin!
