This lamb in beer is a really easy and great-tasting recipe that I got from my Guatemalan friend. Served with some crusty bread and a salad, it makes a delicious meal for company and festive occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound new potatoes

  • 12 ounces baby carrots

  • 1 (5 pound) leg of lamb

  • 30 cloves garlic, peeled

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup coarse-grain brown mustard

  • 1 cup beer

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and carrots; cook in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Rinse leg of lamb, pat dry, and place in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper; rub into meat. Use a small knife to make incisions big enough for a garlic clove to fit all over lamb. Stuff garlic cloves into the holes. Spoon mustard over lamb; rub into meat.

  4. Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes and carrots to the roasting pan. Baste lamb with beer, reserving the rest for basting at 20-minute intervals.

  5. Continue to roast lamb until the internal temperature reaches at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium rare, about 1 hour 30 minutes more.

  6. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving. Spoon pan drippings over meat and vegetables to serve.
