3 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced*
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 leg of lamb, well trimmed, boned, rolled and tied (about 4 pounds)
Mint jelly (optional)

*For more intense garlic flavor inside the meat, cut garlic into
slivers. Cut small pockets at random intervals throughout roast with
tip of sharp knife; insert garlic slivers.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine mustard, garlic, rosemary and pepper.
Rub mustard mixture over lamb.** Place roast on meat rack in
shallow, foil-lined roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven
temperature to 325°F; roast about 20 minutes per pound for medium or
until internal temperature reaches 145°F when tested with meat
thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast.

Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15
minutes before carving. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5°
to 10°F during stand time.

Cut strings; discard. Carve roast into thin slices; serve with mint
jelly, if
desired.

**At this point lamb may be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours
before
roasting.

kabobs fit the occasion. The meat can be marinated to absorb the

such as zucchini, tomatoes, and onions.

cloves, unpeeled

3 fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 lb lamb cubes (1 1/2 inches) for kabobs
2 small zucchini (6 oz each), cut into 1 inch thick slices
4 10 inch metal skewers
Rosemary sprigs for garnish

In 3 quart saucepan, heat shallots with water to cover to boiling over
high heat
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes (15 minutes if using
elephant garlic) Drain and peel In medium bowl, mix lemon juice,
rosemary, oil, salt, and pepper Add lamb, zucchini, and shallots,
toss to coat Cover, refrigerate, tossing occasionally, 2 hours
Prepare grill On skewers, thread lamb, zucchini, and shallots

RYAN'S STEAKHOUSE ROLLS

List of Ingredients

4 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 large eggs
4 packages (1/4 oz. size) active dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1-1/4 cups milk



Recipe


Cream margarine and shortening with sugar until light. Add eggs
slowly, blending well between each addition. Dissolve yeast in
lukewarm water (110° be sure that water is not too hot). Sift
together flour and salt. Add half of flour and half of milk to
the shortening-sugar mixture. Add dissolved yeast.
Add remainder of milk and flour to make a soft dough.
Cover dough; let rest for 10 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is
smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl large enough to hold dough when
doubled in size, turning once to grease the surface. Cover; let rise
in a warm place (90 °) until double in size (about 2 hours). Fold
dough over from 4 sides to knead lightly. Let rise again until double
in size. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape as
desired.

To Make Cloverleaf Rolls
1. Shape dough into small balls. Three balls should half-fill a
greased muffin pan. Brush with melted margarine or butter.
2. Let rise in warm place (90° ) until double in size (about 25 to 30
minutes). Do not let rolls "over-rise".
3. Bake in a preheated 350 ° oven until both the top and bottom of
rolls are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. 4. Remove from oven and
brush top of rolls with melted margarine.

measuring cup; pour over lamb in bag. Close bag securely; turn to coat.
Marinate lamb in refrigerator 1 to 4 hours, turning once.

Prepare grill for direct cooking.

Drain lamb, reserving marinade. Alternately thread lamb, bell pepper,
zucchini, yellow squash, onion and mushrooms onto 12 (10-inch) metal
skewers;* brush both sides with reserved marinade.

Place kabobs on grid. Grill, on covered grill, over medium-hot coals 6
minutes. Turn; continue to grill, covered, 5 to 7 minutes for medium
or until desired doneness is reached. Garnish, if desired. Serve hot.

*If using bamboo skewers, soak in cold water 10 to 15 minutes to
prevent burning.
