Morgyn's Magic Lamb
We were hungry. We ated it. It was delicious.
Morgyn's Magic Lamb
2 large heads garlic
3 lb butternut squash, cut into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces
5 lb boneless leg of lamb
salt
granulated garlic
powdered ginger
powdered lemon peel
black sesame seeds
sesame oil
honey (we used blackberry flavored honey)
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Separate and peel garlic cloves. If you are using pre-peeled garlic, you want about a cup of it. Toss garlic and squash together in a large, deep roasting pan.
Remove lamb leg from any netting or trussing it may have. Place on garlic and squash in roasting pan.
Sprinkle both lamb and vegetables to taste with salt, garlic, and ginger. [Edit] I completely missed that some powdered lemon peel also went in, about 1/4 teaspoon. [endedit] (We used one 3-fingered pinch of salt, about a half tablespoon of garlic, and a full tablespoon of ginger.) Drizzle lamb lightly with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle a thin stream of honey over the squash only around the edge of the pan; don't worry about the pieces underneath the lamb.
Roast lamb until done to your liking. If you cook it rare to medium-rare, you will have delicious vegetables with it. But if you cook it well-done as we did, the vegetables and pan juices will collapse into the most amazing sauce you never imagined.
