    We've had a run of chilly weather here, so I've finally got around to trying this. YUM! Made a few modifications: used slices of bone-in leg of lamb, skipped the bacon (none in the house, it never lasts long), subbed lentils for beans, used LOTS of extra garlic, and added a few chopped carrots. Flavors were excellent. Beans and white wine really balanced the richness of the lamb. Definitely don't need any extra liquid, and I skipped the dry roasting stage. Very adaptable!

    To the best of my memory, Dad always used a leg of lamb. The braising liquid is the marinade with the beans. The leg of lamb will weep a good amount of juice. I wouldn't add extra liquid unless it looked like the beans were burning. The lamb browns for the first 40 minutes without additional liquid.

    I LOVE this recipe. It is sooo good. Unfortunately I never make it, as my husband is violently alergic to lamb. :( I only get lamb when I go out and can order it in restaurant.

    We've used both with bone or deboned - it's not the whole leg. You want a dry heat at first to help brown the meat, so no braising liquid added with the lamb. The lamb will sort of baste itself - and when you add the beans, you'll be adding the marinade from the lamb as well for liquids. I don't cover, unless the lamb looks like it's getting rather browned, then very loosely cover with foil. You want the beans to cook into a thicker sauce.

    This looks delicious - would love to make it. But is it a whole leg of lamb, deboned, sliced across the bone...? Does there need to be any braising liquid? And do you cover the roasting pan?
