Leg of Lamb...finally!

Remember I wanted to cook a leg of lamb for my mom?  The "leg" (opportunity) had not present itself until last Sunday.  Mr. A wanted to bake bread and I wanted to try the Corn Muffin receipt, so we decided to go food shopping together after having lunch on Sunday.

I saw this gorgeous leg of lamb, chilled, in the fridge and couldn't resist and bought it.  Right after finish baking the muffins,  "worked" on the leg. 

Prep work: Stuff a few branches of rosemary into the leg, then rub sea salt and other spice and some vodka all over it.  Should have marinate it overnight, but you know I cannot wait to cook it! 


Roast it in the oven at 180F for about 2.5hours.  The leg is as long as my small oven.  I was afraid it couldn't fit in.  Whew...



Took a 10min taxi ride to my parent's city-home...


The center of the leg is a bit pink.  That makes the meat a perfect medium rare.  Yummy!  The 4 of us could only finish 1/3 of it.  So yummy, even my mom said it's nice.  (You have to know my mom hardly ever give me any compliments!  :"))
