Description

Braised in red wine, this flavorful leg of lamb cooks low and slow, allowing it to bathe in its own juices. The result is a tender yet mild lamb cradled in a rich au jus of pearl onions, carrots, red potatoes, garlic, and fresh basil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lb. Australian Leg of Lamb
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 1/2 cups Red Wine
  • 1 lb. Petite Red Potatoes
