Happy New Year! ... Leg of Lamb Roast and Oreo Cheesecake

[a_boleyn]

Sorry for the belated post but I've been a bit lazy so I've got a bunch of stuff to share.

I made an Oreo cheesecake to go with my simple boneless leg of lamb roast New Year's dinner.

Happy New Year, indeed! That cheesecake doesn't need a topping from the looks of things, and your roast looks delicious.

I've never made lamb (I've got an uncle who usually does for one of the holiday dinners). Perhaps I should try something new.

(I could have left that semi-colon alone, maybe. :P)

We get New Zealand lamb on sale quite often locally. (It cost me $8 for 4 servings.) It's hard to believe it's cheaper to import it from so far away as opposed to getting it from Ontario or some other part of Canada.

That's an astonishing good price. I'll definitely see what the prices here are like. :D

The lamb weighed .608 kg/1.34 lb before roasting.

Oh yes - Ontario lamb costs way more than NZ lamb!
But they do have distinct flavors so its fun to alternate between both.

I've bought ground lamb/mutton from a local butcher at the market ($8 a pound) which was probably locally raised, but the legs, have all been imported. I'd have to do a side by side comparison and that's unlikely to happen ... my taste buds aren't discriminatory enough to remember. :)
