How to Prepare a Delicious Leg of Lamb

If you are looking to impress your guests with a mouthwatering dish, consider preparing a succulent leg of lamb. This classic dish is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious and memorable meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 leg of lamb

  • 4 cloves of garlic

  • 1 onion, sliced in slivers

  • 1 tablespoon of rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon of thyme

  • About a 1/4 cup of olive oil

  • About a 1/4 cup of lemon juice

  • Seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Start by selecting a high-quality leg of lamb from your local butcher or grocery store. Make sure to choose a cut that is fresh and well-marbled for the best flavor and tenderness.


Next, prepare a marinade using a combination of olive oil, garlic, slivered onions, rosemary, thyme and lemon juice. Rub the marinade all over the lamb, making sure to coat it evenly. Let the lamb marinate for at least a few hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.


When you are ready to cook the lamb, place the lamb in a roasting pan and sprinkle seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper on top. 


Transfer the pan to a 350-degree oven. Roast the leg of lamb until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare finish, cook the lamb to an internal temperature of 145-degrees.


Once the lamb is cooked to perfection, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pair it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a truly unforgettable meal.


By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious leg of lamb that is sure to impress even the most discerning palates. So why wait? Get cooking and treat yourself and your guests to a culinary delight they won't soon forget.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide.

Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
