The Beast, The Greens & Thegods.


 A Celebration of Wealth and Appreciations.


Delicious food keeps us happy and good food keeps us healthy.
Knowing well to what we are going to consume for our daily sustenance is a wise thing to do. Healthy Living.  Protein is essential to have, indulgence is permissible occasionally, obtain from the nuts, fish or meat.  The most apparent good protein is lean red meat. Sunday dinner to celebrate on Sunday roast was excellent.  It was grand to have a large join for the family.
The beast is the best.  Slowly baked leg of lamb was an offering, and was beautifully flavoured with generous herbs and served with various greens and garnishes. It's the joy from the cook herself to serve the dish as an offering to the master the excellent servant, and to everyone else - the gods.

The Offering.
Cooking with care, and the good deed is for all the gods, that's what has to be done.

Here I show you how I cooked the succulent leg of lamb for the Offering.

The beast is the best.

The fat and lemon-to discard
Any cooking takes up preparation, from the simplest to the very involved work and attention to details is to go with it.
The preparation: get the roasting pan ready, I use an Earth Wear for this cooking.  Dress and season.
For this lamb: clean, trim, wash and pat it dry.  Season, rub it with lemon juice and salt. Wrap with lots of fresh herbs around and cover the whole lamb with, put it in the roasting dish.  Take the lid of the roasting pan, and place the lamb on, drizzle with oil over the lamb, replace the cover, and cook in the oven at low heat for three hours.

A delicious and succulent lamb we had, the cooking took a long time, but it was effortless, the oven did it.  To celebrate the lamb, beautiful garnishes were served, and they are tomato pilaf, sauteed greens, yoghurt and the cooked fragrant herbs.

It is essential not forgetting the good Earth, the wealth of the Land and the Growers, all of them give us so much, their generosity is priceless.
Let we celebrate a good living with good health and the wealth within enjoying the good food.



Wealth is Good Health.


One of Sunday Bests.

  1. I love the way you cook roast leg of lamb, Melanie. It's a traditional roast, pink and perfectly roasted. Hope you like the slow cooked lamb on this post. xx
