- Peal the skin off the cloves of garlic, and slice into thin pieces.
- Puncture the lamb many times about 1" deep with a paring knife. Place individual slices of garlic into each
puncture.
- Slice the onions into pieces about 1" on a side. Peal the potatoes and carrots, and slice into pieces about
1" on a side.
- In a deep pan, such as for a turkey, place two quarts of water and the sherry. Place the onions, potatoes,
and carrots into the water. Place the lamb on top of everything. Bake at 350 until a meat thermometer stuck in the
largest part of the lamb reads medium rare - about 170 degrees. This will take about 2-3 hours. Don't overcook the lamb.
- While the lamb is cooking, check the water level every 30 minutes. Do not let the water level get below a
quart.
- When the lamb is done, set it aside on a plate to cool. While the lamb is cooling, remove the onions,
potatoes, and carrots from the pan, and place them in a large bowl to serve.
- Pour the remaining liquid (at least a quart) into a large sauce pan, and add the chicken bullion cubes.
Optionally add any or all of the oregano, parsley, sage, cumin. Heat to boiling. In a coffee cup, place the corn starch
and 3 tbl of water. Stir until the corn starch is dissolved. Pour this into the boiling gravy to thicken it.
