From your butcher request they remove the gland in the leg as it may not kill you but it changes the taste of the leg to be more gamey. Make slits in the flesh all over the leg and in each slit place a clove and a piece of fresh garlic. sprinkle salt, pepper, rosemary, (i used mixes herbs) and squeeze the juice of 1 Orange all over the leg. Allow to marinate for a few hours. Brown leg in a pan on both sides Put it a slightly deeper pot with 2 quartered onions and a few carrots and 1 cup of water. Please note : the pot shouldn't be too big as the empty space in the pot will cause the pot to lose heat. 30 minutes. I always use the timer on my stove..or if you dont have one use the timer on your phone. Placed in the Wonderbag before going to bed around 11ish Leg Roast Cooking in Bag Overnight Next morning at 7am i was sooo excited ...WOW Cooked!! Sliced it up ....OOooo tender and D.E.V.I.N.E The leftover stock i reduced on high heat to make a gravy. Pureed the carrots and onions and threw it back. If its not thick enough add some brown onion soup or maizena to thicken. Pour over Slices of Leg and serve. I find it best to slice the leg before serving because then its not that everyone is hacking the leg to pieces..its more controlled slices.and its more juicier cos all the slices are covered in yummy gravy. |
