Aldi are doing boned and rolled lamb legs at the minute, rubbed in seasalt and herbs, and man are they good! :eek:
Roasted (well herself turned the oven on for me as I was out earning a living:))the lamb in a lowish heat with a bit of water in the bottom of the roasting pan covered with foil.
An hour and a half later, this bad boy emerged.
Served it with mash potatoes, roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets, and of course lamb gravy from the juices. (Added brown sauce after the photo wouldn't you know!)
The wife (a vegetarian) asks me - as soon as I'd finished, "did ya enjoy that" then called me a "feckin heathen" as it was ash wednesday.
Sure I forgot all about it FFS!0 -

Fakeaway here tonight. Tried my hand at a spice bag.

Saucy
It was really good but I'd use a better curry sauce in future. The one I used was Dunnes own brand and it was closer to a chipper curry sauce than a Chinese curry sauce. Otherwise, a cheaper, healthier alternative.

Cheers Gloom. The small fella had a few chicken chunks and a few chips and he was happy out. He did peer curiously into our bowls but declined to taste!Looks great Mystery. For a nice Chinese curry sauce try the Goldfish Curry paste in Tesco's. It's as close to the takeaway as you can get.
I'll try the Goldfish brand, thanks. 0 -

Lovely looking chips!
Are they airfried?

Yes. Lidl's straight cut frozen chips, brief spray of oil, cooked in the air fryer. I only just got one as until very recently I was the same as yourself in terms of space!0 -

It seems like a lot of butter to use (but I guess that's why they are so good!).
Do you cover the potatoes in stock or is it OK to have the tops uncovered?
That recipe doesn't say, but I would assume that you peel the potatoes as well?
(ah, I see in the comments that the potatoes are peeled).
I actually only used about 50g of butter! I thought 200g sounded reeeally excessive. And I used salted butter, just because I don't normally have unsalted butter.
With the size pot and potatoes I used, they were only about half submerged in the liquid. But you put the lid on, so the steam helps them cook. I decided to flip over each potato mid-way through though, just to make sure they all fully infused with the flavour!
The first time I did them, I used large potatoes and cut them in half. But this time I mainly used very small potatoes (roosters). I actually think the smaller potatoes worked much better!
Oh and yes, peel the potatoes A vital step missing from the recipe! 0 -

The butter is the whole point of fondant potatoes.

Hey McMurphy! Where in Aldi are those boned and rolled Lamb legs? I don't usually buy meat in Aldi, but you sold me with those pics.:D

How much did it cost in Aldi?
In my local Aldi, it was among the first of the lamb products you come to coming from the fruit/veg direction (if that makes sense?) It was immediately below, but roughly a space to the left of where the lamb leg steaks were (from memory) you could easily pass it mistaking it for a "housekeepers cut" of beef, I nearly did!
Also from memory, price wise was €13.50ish (no abuse please if this info is wrong lol) which I thought was incredibly good value - it served a few of us for dinner this evening, and there's s good chunk of it left which will do me for a sandwich tomorrow if I can pop home for lunch, and there definitely 100% the making of a saag curry there too.
