England Roast Lamb

From this green and pleasant land that is England spring more tasty eats than the country is given credit for.  One such delicacy is its lamb, which is best roasted with  onions or shallots, garlic, coarse black pepper and half a bottle of red wine. For me the trick was not to overcook it. Follow the cooking time on the store label or ask your butcher.

English Lamb roasted in red wine and shallots





Served with Yorkshire Puddings, Roast Potatoes and tender stem broccoli


Yorkshire Pudding originates in the town of the same name located in  the North of England and is made with a batter and served with all types of roast meat and gravy.



Roast King Edward Potatoes 
There are over 80 varieties of potatoes grown commercially in Britain, but not all are good for roasting. We like these as they come out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They are tasty and 'moreish'.

This is a typical Sunday Roast dinner in England but we love it anytime!


For dessert, I made a Rhubarb, Apple and Ginger Crumble -  easy and delicious served with Green and Black's Vanilla Ice Cream!


Some cultural symbols of England!
