Gigot De Sept Heures French Seven Hour Roast Lamb

---

I love anthony bourdains attitude towards life and food so was over the moon when my husband bought me his les halles cookbook". this recipe is fantastic! i never cook roast lamb in any other way since finding this. i do follow his ingredients but just cook it in a normal roasting pan with a well fitting lid

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 300 f / 150c.

---

Make small incisions in the lamb and put a sliver of garlic inside each incision.

---

Rub the lamb well with the olive oil and season all over with the salt and pepper.

---

Place it in a dutch oven and add the sliced onions , whole carrots , whole garlic cloves , bouquet garni and wine.

---

Put the lid on the dutch oven.

---

In a medium bowl combine the flour and water to form a rough dough , mixing well with a wooden spoon.

---

Use the dough like grout to create a seal that connects the lid to the dutch oven.

---

Place in the oven and cook for 7 hours.

---

Remove from the oven and break the seal.

---

Serve.
