Finskt Lamm Finnish Lamb
This roast lamb is one of the most delectable imaginable, and my whole family love it. It was given to me by a very old friend years ago - i don't know his source. Number of serves and cooking time is for a 5lb leg with bone.
Steps
Cut all fat off lamb.
Mix salt and mustard together and rub into lamb.
Insert slivers of garlic into meat near bone.
Place in a heavy baking dish and roast at 450 degrees f for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 f and roast another 15 minutes.
Mix coffee , cream and stock together.
Remove lamb from oven , pour coffee , cream and stock over lamb and return it to the oven.
Continue cooking until done , about 25 minutes a pound to reach medium rare.
The most accurate way to determine doneness is with a meat thermometer: 110 degrees f is rare , 120 degrees f is medium-rare , and 145 degrees f is medium-well done.
If you want your roast to be particularly succulent , once it is within 10 degrees f of its ideal doneness , remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 or 20 minutes with a tent of foil placed very loosely over it.
Sauce: spoon surplus fat off pan juices.
Place pan over medium heat and stir in flour.
Cook 2 minutes or until it colours a little.
