7 Hour Lamb


Slow cooked food is ideal for parties/dinners, when you have so much to do; Put everything together and forget about it for 6+ hours!

Ingredients:
1 lamb leg, 2kg+
1 big onion, peeled, halved
1-2 celery sticks, chunky
2 carrots, peeled, chunky
1 parsnip (or parsley leaves)
2 bay leaves
5-10 pepper corns, whole
1 cup of stock (your choice)
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
200 ml wine (preferably white)
salt and pepper

Method:
Prepare your slow cooker, or an oven dish with a lid, big enough to fit into your oven.
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan. Salt and pepper lamb leg, massage a bit, then 'seal' it the pan. Turn couple of times.
Sealed leg put in prepared dish/cooker, add all the other ingredients, and leave for:
-7 hours at 120*C (ideal!),or
-5 hours at 150*C, or
-8-8,5 hours at 110*C
When ready, take it out on a serving plate together with better looking vegetable pieces. Rest of the juices and vegetables blend/process/mash; You'll get beautiful sauce/gravy. Pour on the sides of the serving plate.


7-satna Jagnjetina

Potrebno:
1 jagnjeca natkoljenica, oko 2 kg ili vise
1 veliki crveni luk, oguljen, prepolovljen
1-2 stabljike celera, izrezano na krupne komade
2 mrkve, izrezane
1 veci persun, izrezan + lisce
2 lovorova lista
5-10 cijelih zrna crnog bibera
1 solja supe, ili vegeta rastopljena u vrucoj vodi
2-3 cesna bijelog luka
2 dl vina (bijelo ili crno)
so i biber po potrebi
malo ulja

Priprema:
Nasolite i pobiberite meso, lagano utrljavajuci. Na malo ulja propecite ‘nogicu’, tek toliko da dobije boju. Stavite je u vatrostalnu posudu (ili serpu), koja ima svoj poklopac. Rasporedite sve ostale sastojke oko nje, te zalijte supom i vinom. Stavite sve skupa (poklopljeno) u pecnicu/rernu na 120*c i ‘zaboravite’ je na 7 sati.
Ukoliko vam se zuri, mozete pojacati temperaturu na 150*c i peci 5 sati. Efekat ce jos uvijek biti isti – mekano, mirisno meso koje se odvaja od kosti.
Pazljvo prebacite meso u posudu za sluzenje. Najljepse komade povrca ostavite za dekoraciju.Ostalo povrce ispasirajte uz dodatak sokova u kojima se jagnjetina pekla; dobicete divan sos. Uzivajte!
Jagnjetina moze ostati i duze u pecnici , npr ako radite pripremite sve – gurnite u rernu i otidjite na posao. Samo ne zaboravite temperaturu jos malo spustiti (npr 110*C za oko 8-8,5 sati pecenja).
