In every family there’s that one dish that mom or dad makes better than anyone else in the world. Maybe it’s dad’s chili recipe, or mom’s secret to perfect ginger snap cookies. These dishes and desserts become family legend, favourites at holiday parties, birthdays or family dinners. The recipes are often passed down through generations and become a part of a family’s story. We wanted to share those stories.
Every month at Andrews Senior Care in Prince Edward Island, we feature a different recipe submitted by one of our retirement community residents.
This month, in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, we have a traditional Irish lamb recipe submitted by resident Jim Lockert. Thank you Jim for sharing this wonderful recipe with us!
The full recipe is below for anyone interested in following along with chef Terry Butler.
Ingredients:
One leg of lamb
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Remove the bone if not already deboned.
Use a sharp knife to cut 1/2-inch deep slits in the meat about 2 inches apart, to help the meat lie flat.
Wipe the meat with a clean, damp cloth and season with salt and pepper.
Make a stuffing of the bread crumbs, onions, sage and salt and pepper and spread it between the two layers of meat. Use butcher twine to wrap the lamb around the stuffing.
Place fat-side up on a roasting pan and roast at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes per pound.
After cooking, let the lamb rest for approximately 30 minutes before slicing.
