lamb leg

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: rice

Sweet potatoes provide more nutrients and fiber.

Start with a lamb leg and lamb shoulder.

Trim a little fat from the lamb if desired, but keep some for juiciness and flavor.

Season both sides of the lamb with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a roasting pan, add approximately 300 ml of water to cover the base.

Place the lamb in the roasting pan with the skin side up.

Add pork lard evenly over the lamb for added juiciness and flavor.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Roast the lamb for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, flip the lamb over and check the water level, adding more if necessary to cover the base.

Add whole peeled potatoes to the pan, seasoning them with salt to taste.

Pour 60 ml of white wine over the lamb and potatoes.

Return the pan to the oven for an additional hour.

After one hour, remove the shoulder as it cooks faster, and continue roasting the leg for another 40 minutes.

The shoulder should have a total cooking time of 2 hours, while the leg will be 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Once done, remove the lamb and potatoes from the oven to prepare the sauce.

Place a saucepan on the stove and set a strainer over it.

Pour the pan juices through the strainer into the saucepan to create a fine sauce.

Heat the strained juices until boiling.

In a separate bowl, mix half a glass of water with a teaspoon of cornstarch until dissolved.

Once the sauce is boiling, gradually add the cornstarch mixture to thicken it to your liking.

Transfer the sauce to a serving dish for guests to add as desired.

Slice the potatoes if cooked whole and serve with the sauce.
