Roast Lamb Casserole

This is slow cooked leg of lamb recipe. I slice up about 6 red onions into a roasting dish.
I sprinkle fresh thyme over the onions.
I take at least 10 cloves of garlic and slice them thin.
I put these pieces of garlic into the lamb. I take a sharp knife cut into the lamb and push in the garlic.
I sprinkle over salt, black pepper and at least 2 tablespoons of ground cumin.
I drizzle over some olive oil.
I add half a bottle of red wine to the onions.
I then cook at gas 7 for about 25 minutes and then I turn the oven down and cook the lamb really slowly for about 5 hours at gas 2.
This slow cooking makes the lamb very tender and delicious.
After 2 hours you can turn the lamb over and add more ground cumin to the meat.
If it dries out I add more red wine and just coat the lamb with the juices
It makes a sensational gravy or sauce with an outstanding flavour.
This is what it looks like after 5 hours.
Cool and slice
Serve with roast potatoes and green vegetables or a fresh salad.
It goes well with pitta breads
It freezes well if you have left overs.
