Raspberry Muffins
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups self raising flour
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 100g butter melted
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 cup frozen raspberries (don’t thaw)
- grated rind and juice of a lemon
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until just combined. Spray large muffins trays with oil and spoon in the mixture. Bake at 200C for 12-15 mins.
Cool, dust with icing sugar and enjoy. Any frozen berries can be used and if you want to be wicked you could add some white chocolate melts.
Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb with Baby Onions
- 1 leg of lamb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Tuscan Seasoning
- 6 sprigs rosemary
- 12-16 baby onions, peeled
- 1 cup red wine
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, parsley
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Score the leg of lamb with a sharp knife. Combine the olive oil and the Tuscan Seasoning. Rub the mixture over the lamb.
Place the rosemary sprigs in an oven dish and place the lamb on top of the bed of rosemary. Add the baby onions to the dish. Roast the lamb and onions in the preheated oven for 1 hour, uncovered, basting occasionally. Reduce the oven temperature to 140°C.
Pour the red wine into the dish. Sprinkle the herbs over the lamb and cover the dish tightly with foil. Roast for a further 2½ hours, or until the lamb is very tender, basting occasionally. Shred the lamb from the bone (you can do this with two forks) and serve with the onions and pan juices. This is delicious served with oven roasted potato, kumara and pumpkin and steamed green vegetables.
I also thickened the juices in the pan to make a gravy. Delicious!
