Aussie Baked Lamb Dinner

1 leg of lamb
3 tsp fresh or dried rosemary
1 tablespoon oil
4 medium potatoes
4 pieces of pumpkin
green vegetable of your choice

Score the leg of lamb in a diagonal pattern, so it make diamond shapes on the skin. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle 2 tspn's of rosemary over the top. (you can also lightly brush with mustard, then add the rosemary)

Now, there are a few ways to cook this, you can either place it in an oven bag then into a baking tray, or just place it directly in the oven tray, or part fill the oven tray with water and place a wire rack on top and then put the lamb on the rack (the latter one is best for weight watchers). Place the leg in the oven at 180c (350f) for 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the leg. Lamb should be slightly pink and still have juices!

While the lamb is cooking, prepare veges.

Baked Potatoes:
Peel potatoes, partly boil them (about 3 minutes) allow to cool, just enough so that they can be handled, score them with a fork, place the potatoes around the leg of lamb (after the lamb) has been cooking for about an hour. Add the pumpkin 1/2 an hour later, baste potatoes and meat. When the meat and veges are done, remove them from the oven tray and place them on an oven proof tray, cover with foil and return to oven to keep warm!

Gravy:
Place the oven tray, (with the juices from the meat), on the stove top and heat on low -med, add the flour and keep stirring till the mixture turns brown (dont let it burn). Add the water from the potatoes (gradually) and keep stirring, add more water if the mixture is too thick. Add the stock cubes and 1 tspn of rosemary and let the gravy simmer for 5-10 mins. Slice meat and arrange on plates with veges and pour the gravy over the meat. Serve. Cook the green vegetable anyway you like ie: steamed, boiled, microwaved, its your choice.
