How to make it

  • Take the leg of lamb and insert slivers of garlic under the skin all the way around
  • crush the juniper and pepper corns and add to red wine in a container big enough to soak the lamb throw in lamb, cover and refrigerate for one or two nights, turning once in a while
  • wash carrots and leeks, lightly par boil and set aside.
  • fry bacon and set aside.
  • Brown lamb all over on a very hot skillet or similar. Watch your eyes, the juniper can cause irritation.
  • take and oven proof dish, layer carrots then leeks then bacon (now cut into small pieces) add left over marinade, place lamb on top and cook in a preheated oven until done. This is a matter of personal preference, I think lamb is at its best when still rather pink, I know others disagree.
  • Serve with wild rice.

    This is delicious, I have been cooking it for years. I personally marinade for at least 4 days to get the flavor all the way through.
