Hogget Roast - Home kill

Got a home kill hogget leg roast
What's the best and yummiest way to cook it please

Jealous!

Low and slow

Last time, we put it in the BBQ over charcoals for a while, almost smoking it, then finished it off in the oven to crisp it up.
No gravy, but beautiful.

Just a plain straight up basic roasting method.

Perhaps a smear or rubbed with mint jelly.

Whenever I roast lamb, I do the potatoes at the same time. Peel some nice sized potatoes and cut them to about size of a medium to large mandarin, placed in roasting dish with lamb - hogget, add about a cup or 1 1/2 cups of water to dish, melt some butter in a cup via microwave and pour it over all the potatoes. Sprinkle some salt on each potato.

Roast all in oven initially at about 200C for the first 30 minutes then lower to 180C for say about another 1 1/2 to 2 hours keeping an eye on the meat and potatoes. Take the meat out to rest for 10 minutes at least but turn the potatoes in that lovely juices in dish and back into oven until ready to serve.

The juices makes a superb gravy, simple put juices (perhaps skim the fat of the top first if required for personal taste and reasons) into a saucepan, add say about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of flour (depends how much juices you have in saucepan) mixed with cold water to a thick runny mixture and add to the juices, cook until all is heated through and thickened a little.

Absolutely beautiful.

Cook it at a lower temperature and for longer than you would cook lamb, otherwise it could be tough. As twindizzy said - low and slow.

I am so jealous! Can anyone please tell me where I can buy a leg of hogget in Hastings? Cheers and I know you are going to enjoy it OP

Make a bed of rosemary branches then place roast on top cover with a crust of crushed garlic, plenty of salt, use a covered roasting dish then fan bake for 3 to 4 hours at 150 degrees.

Remove rosemary branches before making gravy and sieve out rosemary leaves from gravy (they get bitter once they have lost all their oils).

home made bayleys, does anyone have the recipe for this, , please
