Gravy

2 tablespoon plain flour

1 cup red wine

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 tablespoon capers

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 roughly chopped garlic cloves

3 sprigs rosemary, leaves removed

1 2.4kg lamb leg

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C.

2.Using a stick blender, combine butter, mustard, capers, oil, garlic and rosemary. Process to a paste. Season to taste.

3.Rub paste all over lamb to coat. Place on a trivet in a baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 180°C and bake a further 2 hours.

4.Transfer lamb to a plate. Rest, covered loosely with foil for 20 minutes.

5.GRAVY: Place baking dish with pan juice on stove top. Add flour and cook, stirring, on medium, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat. Gradually add combined wine and water, stirring until smooth. Return to heat and cook, stirring until boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes. Season to taste. Serve.

6.Slice lamb and serve with gravy, roast pumpkin and peas.

Toss chopped pumpkin in olive oil, season, and bake for the last 1 1/2 hours of cooking time. Leave skin on pumpkin when roasting to save time and create a delicious, nutritious shell. We added torn mint leaves to our peas for extra flavour.
