''Lamb Wellington''

5/5 

A half the price and twice the taste. A great way to jazz-up lamb.

===Chef's note===
When I made this excellent dish I used 800g of butterflied lamb leg. In order to retain the butter marinade, I made a few deep cuts rather than lots of little ones. I also drained off most of the fat after the first roast. Being lazy I used a 450g ready-rolled sheet of shortcrust pastry which was fine for a small joint, it would not be large enough for a 1.5kg joint. It was superb with [[onion gravy]] and mixed vegetables.
===Variations===
* 1 teaspoon of dried [[Mexican oregano]]
* 1/2 a teaspoon dried [[mint]]
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh [[rosemary]]
* 1 teaspoon fresh [[thyme]]
* 4 finely chopped [[anchovy fillets]]
===Serving suggestions===
Serve in slices with [[Vegetables|vegetables]] and [[Gravy|gravy]].
