I know I am writing for Mama’s Kitchen at Glotime.tv, but this recipe is courtesy of my late great Grandma who has passed down the secret of Star Roasties for me to share with you today. Shhhhh I am hearing rumblings of disapproval from the secret grandma’s gang, but sometimes you have to just go with your gut and do it anyway.
Beginning with Roast Lamb, this recipe is sure to tempt the most resistant meat eaters, as it rouses the very basic responses of culinary gratification.
Select a good size Breast of Lamb depending on the amount of Dinner Guests you are expecting. I am reluctant to give to an idea of weight, as this varies with each family. But let me warn you, the bigger the piece the better as they will definitely go back for more, and will even demand it cold later on, or take some home in a bag.
ROAST LAMB
Smother the meat with a jar of Mango Chutney
Sprinkle fresh or dried Rosemary
Place into a roasting pan and pre-heated oven
Roast for 20 mins at a high heat of 220 degrees
After 20 mins turn down the heat to 200 degrees
Roast slowly for 2-3 hours depending on size of joint (25 mins per 500g)
For Roast Potatoes to take your breath away. It does help if you purchase a particular type of tatty like Maris Piper or King Edwards, which respond well to a quick bashing and a good roasting.
ROAST POTATOES
Peel potatoes and wash thoroughly
Place in saucepan and cover with cold water
Partly boil for five minutes
Strain all the water from pan
Jiggle potatoes around saucepan so sides are scuffed
Place in roasting dish
Sprinkle olive oil over each potato
Place in pre-headed oven at 200 degrees for 45 minutes
Carefully turn potatoes every 15 minutes
Increase heat 220 degrees to crisp
As long as you time it right, you will have the Roast to die for. Serve with vegetables and salad of your choice. You will feel you have died and gone to heaven.

As we witness echoes of the Margaret Thatcher or the Iron Lady with the recent election of Teresa May – it seems the World has regressed to even tolerate the unbelievable ramblings of Donald Trump.
Eight years ago, we all celebrated the evolvement of the human race in electing a Black President in the United States, and even though our own leadership with Blair was under scrutiny – we slept easy in our beds and walked the streets without looking over our shoulder without the prospect of a Hitleresque regime with our staunch Ally.
I would go as far as to say that the US are in the grip of a hypnotic frenzy of panic seen throughout history in the most extreme cases of fascism.
With his recent visit and meeting with the Mexican President, he has now declared that there will be a wall high and long separating Mexico with the USA.
The Mexican President, Enrique Pena Nieto has retorted with the statement that he will not pay for a wall and that Trump Threatens his Nation and yet we can still hear the cheers of the Trump supporters as he makes his speech of falsehoods.
Is it because nations need to behave like sheep and elect a leader however schizophrenic, who they believe will make their country a safer place to live, with the exclusion of any sense of humanity. Are we that desperate that we will support a mad megalomaniac who is leading a hate campaign in his own back yard.
How long will it be before Trump goes the extra mile, and rounds up all the Citizens of mixed race or colour in his distorted mission to lessen the threat of terrorism and make the US a ‘pure’ country.
It was even more worrying that Trump had a visit of support from the dangerously racist Nigel Farage former leader of UKIP, representing a proportion of our own country in his quest to further his career in politics.
Does Trump not take into account that only a few hundred years ago, the White man invaded his very own sacred society, and killed off most of its inhabitants and certainly its cultural heritage in the Native Americans.
Trump was born into a privileged family, and has never had to suffer hardship, so what does he know about the common people? How far do we have to go to shake the Nation into some sort of reality, and let them know that they are signing their own death warrant.
Wake up America – you are in a downward spiral to Never Never Land.
