Leg of lamb is perfect for a crowd. This recipe slathers the lamb with mustard, which becomes crunchy when baked, and is studded with garlic. Makes for a wonderful Easter dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 7-to-8 pound bone-in leg of lamb
- 3 cloves garlic, cut into slivers
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Dijon mustard
Cooking Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Make slits in various parts of the lamb and insert the slivered garlic. Coat the leg with mustard.
- Roast about 1 hour 20 minutes, for medium-rare (125 degrees F. to 130 degrees F.) Let rest 20 minutes before carving.
Substitution(s)
- A boned and rolled leg of lamb may be substituted for the bone-in leg. A 4½ pound leg will take about about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Any mustard can be used. A grainy country-style mustard works well.
Preparation Time: About 5 minutes

Fig And Almond Crostata!

•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.
Nothing fussy about this dessert yet it looks so pretty. Best thing is, the dough can be prepared a month in advance and frozen. Make some tonight and store it so you always have a treat for those unexpected guests.
Ingredients
- 1-2/3 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg and 1 egg yolk
- 1-1/2 cups fig jam
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, combine flour sugar and salt. Run the processor for a couple of seconds, until the dry ingredients are just combined. Add butter and pulse the processor until mixture resembles a coarse meal (about 10 seconds). Continue pulsing to add in the egg and egg yolk. Stop as soon as the egg is incorporated. Be careful not to over process.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a flat disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour. (Dough may be frozen up to 1 month wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer zip lock bag.)
- Once the pastry has chilled, remove from refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 10-inch round (about 1/4-inch in thickness). Keep rotating the pastry to ensure that it doesn’t stick. Transfer pastry to a parchment baking sheet.
- Spread the fig jam over the pastry leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the pastry up over the jam to create a pleated look. Be sure to patch any holes or cracks before baking. Sprinkle the jam with sliced almonds.
- Bake tart for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve.
Substitution(s)
Don’t like figs or almonds? Use your favorite jam or nut.
