Peanut ‘butter aa a favori

IF YOU have a taste for Mexican-style. food, this recipi
may be just what you’re looking for.

I’ve been making it for years —
matter of fact it’s adapted from a
cookbook 1 bought on our
honeymoon so you may take a
guess at how many years.

You may want to double this
and store one pie in the freezer. If
you do, omit the topping and add
it later.

Problem is that this cut is dif-
ficult to obtain. A special order is
usually necessary. Ask for: New
Zealand semi-boneless leg of lamb.

Aside from being easy to carve
— cut parallel to the one bone in-
stead of across the grain —- I’ve
never had one that isn’t wonderfully
tender,

I've printed this recipe: several
times but I get constant requests

on meat but after they've tried it

of my favorite foods but | love this

If your family is anything like .

mine, certain foods are expected
for certgin seasons or occasions.
' For ‘example when I suggested
‘making a pot roast for last Sunday
dinner I ‘was informed that pot
roast is ‘‘winter food’? and unac-
ceptable in this kind of weather.
Easter is coming up and’ where
“most households consider turkey
to be welcome for dinner, my fam-
ily considers anything besides roast
jamb another example of my fall-
ing-down-on-the-job.

If your “family might welcome ,

lamb for Easter, this is a time for

you to start nagging your butcher.
You can pay 4 fortune for fresh

lamb. or get one of the best cuts,

frozen, for a great deal less money...

leg of tamb

butter or margarine
garlic powder

mixed dried Italian herbs
seasoned pepper
seasoned salt -

Thaw the lamb. Butter the sur-
face and spread liberally with all
the seasonings.

Roast at 225°F until your meat
thermometer reads .177°-180°F.
We like lamb a bit pink.This takes
roughly four hours. Remove lamb
from the pan and add two cups of
hot vegetable liquid to the drippings
(for gravy). Remove to another pan
because you'll need your roaster for
the next step.

Keep lamb hot until ‘just about
time to serve.

Wheh ready, butter all surfaces
of the roast generously with:

Peanut butter (smooth style)

Sprinkle generously with:
Sliced almonds

Toast .the roast under - your
broiler until nuts are brown and
peanut butter is bubbly. .

With this we always have new
potatoes, cooked in their skins,
tiny peas with mint, mashed tur-
nips and cauliflower in cheese
sauce. If asparagus is reasonable
— and it seems to be this year —
we have that too.
