LAMB BACON RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C Cream the butter, anchovies, rosemary and garlic and smear all over the surface of the meat.
• Lay bacon on a board, overlapping to form a rectangle.
• Roll bacon around Lamb and tie at regular intervals.
• Place the Lamb in a roasting tin and pour the wine around evenly.
• Tuck in remaining sprigs of rosemary and pour over the lemon juice.
• Put in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
• Turn the oven temperature down to 180C and roast the Lamb for a further hour, or more if you like your meat well-done.
• Baste from time to time with the wine juices.
• Take the meat out of the oven and leave to rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, taste the juices and add pepper (and salt if necessary).
• During the roasting process the wine should have reduced and mingled with the meat juices and anchovy butter to make a delicious gravy.
• If you find it too thin, reduce to the desired consistency.

Steps:

• Place lamb liver in a small bowl, sprinkle with sea salt, cover with water and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Peel skin off lamb's fry and remove any other pieces of tissue, slice and lightly coat with the flour. I normally like to cut any long strips in half again so they're bite size.
• Remove excess fat and rind from the bacon and chop coarsely. Leave a bit of streaky fat on the bacon, it adds to the flavour.
• Melt butter in a frypan, add bacon and onion and fry around 8-10 minutes over medium to high temperature until onion is soft and bacon is fairly well cooked but not crisp.
• Add lamb's fry and lightly fry a few minutes turning often to brown evenly, you don't need to cook it through at this stage.
• Blend water, vegemite and cornflour and add to the pan and mix through well.
• Bring to a gentle boil, reduce temperature to a simmer and continue to cook for 20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes or so. It may take a little more time but you want a fairly thick gravy runs a little slowly off a spoon.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or it's also good re-heated and served on toast for breakfast.
