CRUSTY LEG OF LAMB

Ingredients.....1 x 1.5 - 2kg leg of lamb, 2 egg yolks lightly beaten, 3 tbs of marg/ butter, melted, 1 cup of cornflake crumbs, 1 tbs of sesame seeds, 1 tsp of mixed herbs, 1 small onion peeled and thinly sliced into rounds, fresh rosemary stalks ( if you have rosemary growing in your garden or just a good sprinkle of dried rosemary). Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking oil and line the base with rosemary stalks or a good sprinkle of dried rosemary. Remove any excess fat from the lamb, brush the top surface of the lamb with a little of the egg yolks. In a small bowl mix together the marg/ butter, corn flake crumbs, sesame seeds, mixed herbs and half the remaining egg yolks. Press the mixture firmly over the top of the lamb, break onion slices into rings and arrange over the surface , pressing with the palm of your hands. Brush the onion rings with the remaining egg yolk. Finally place the prepared leg of lamb into the prepared dish and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes or until cooked to your liking. When the crust becomes golden and crisp cover loosely with baking paper for the rest of the cooking time. This recipe is my gift to you, it takes a leg of lamb to another level, enjoy.
