== Directions ==
# Put the leg of lamb on a grid in a roasting pan and pour 1 litre (2 pints) of water into the pan.
# You can also put the leg of lamb in a roasting bag, and then you do not add water.
# Place into oven, then heat oven to 150-175°C (280-325°F), and roast for one hour for each kilo (2 lbs) of weight.
# Pour the stock from the pan over the leg of lamb occasionally with a spoon.
# For the last half hour of cooking switch on the grill, and grill the leg of lamb on both sides.
# If you use a roasting bag, open it for the last half hour and grill in the same way.
# Sieve the stock into a casserole and skim off the fat.
# Thicken the sauce with flour, or your favourite thickening, season and colour with gravy browning.
# Add the cream and remove from the heat.
# Serve with your choice of vegetables and caramel potatoes.
=== Caramel potatoes ===
# Place the sugar on a frying pan and heat until it starts melting, stir in the margarine.
# When golden, remove from heat, add potatoes, rolling them carefully around so they are completely covered with caramel.
