Helen’s Food Love Story...
When her children were younger, Helen used to love cooking a roast on a Sunday, and getting all the family round the table. Like so many mums up and down the country, it’s something she really misses now that her boys are grown up and have left home. But this weekend, they’re all coming home for her special salsa verde-crusted leg of lamb - with all the trimmings. She can’t wait to have them back for the holidays… but just for a couple of weeks!
Little help
To make your own gravy, add 1 tbsp plain flour to the roasting tin juices. Whisk, simmer to thicken and add mint jelly to taste.
Perfect partner Vina Del Cura Rioja Crianza, £6/75cl With berry flavours and a hint of pepper, this rich red wine pairs beautifully with the lamb.
