  • “Great flavours in this lamb roast.Very different to how we normally have a leg of lamb, but we love mushrooms and the idea of having a sauce as well was very appealing.The lamb was tender and it makes oodles of sauce, which was great because it was a perfect ‘gravy’ over the meat and mashed potatoes. Thanks for posting Jan.=)”

  • “As usual for me I generally try the recipe exactly as directed.Then the next time I modify according to taste.This recipie was no different except I put slivers of garlic in the lamb before roasting.The flavor overall was excellent.If I was to change one thing next time it would be simply to cut down the chicken broth.It called for 2 cups of chicken broth. That is about 1 1/3 10oz cans.I opened a second can but found I could have just used one can and still have plenty of liquid for gravy.I did have to reduce the gravy (as the recipe said might happen) after the lamb was done, as it was a bit thin.Over all however a tasty recipie.I served the gravy over a white rice with green beans (my favorite vegie!).”
