142: Roast lamb rolls with oregano and garlic, p219

Mmmm, super garlicky yumminess! I ordered a small leg of lamb from Tescos (busy week, no time to go shopping) and of course they sent a whopping great big 'Finest' one, with matching price tag. Ho hum. But what a nice bit of Finest Welsh Mountain Lamb it was.
Mush up garlic, anchovies, oregano and oil, massage it into the meat, and leave for 30mins or so, that's got to be a good start... The cooking time was perfect to result in nice pink, perfectly meltingly tender meat. The lumps of garlic in the marinade burnt a bit on the outside but not too badly and the meat carved beautifully. Baked some of those part-baked rolls and popped the meat inside, drizzled them with the juices from the roasting dish, and we tucked in. Lovely jubbly, especially with the juices soaking into the bread, but surprisingly filling - two small rolls defeated me, but T polished his off fine. Would definitely do this again as an easy roast dinner, but probably not in the rolls - less of an informal, lunchy meal.
