This is wonderful!! If you like leg of lamb, you will love this...I felt like we had a real gourmet meal that would of cost a fortune in a fancy restaurant!! I served it with stir fried veggies ...sugar snap peas, asparagus, shallots, sesame seeds sauteed in olive oil and a little sesame oil. I added some raspberry balsamic vinegar too....Yum!
What a great meal...hubby thoroughly enjoyed it too!!
Enjoy!
