Salt Marsh Lamb

Today we returned from a weekend in Suffolk where I played cricket (and we won!) and on the way back to London, dropped in at The Food Company at Marks Tey. There we picked up half a leg of salt marsh lamb (amongst other things) and cooked it when we got home.

Kerri spiked the lamb with garlic slivers and rosemary leaves and we had it with some sauteed potatoes, runner beans and purple sprouting brocolli. Usually we have roast chicken when we come back from being away, but we didn’t go that far this time and weren’t away for very long. And besides, we had the excellent salt marsh lamb.

The lamb was very tasty, fully flavoured and succullent despite the fact that I think I left it in for slightly too long. Every time we have it, I think that we should never have any other sort of lamb again. There is loads left over for lunch too!
