Well, we consumed around 55-60% of last nights brisket so I need a small add-on for tonight’s 2nd night of Rosh Hashanah dinner.

This is a 4# boneless leg of lamb which used to be 6#, but two of those pounds went into burgers last week.

Butterflied this leg into 4 sections to flatten out the lamb to create more surface area for seasoning and then rolled it back up and tied it to create a more uniform and compact roast for the grill.

Seasoned with SPOG, dried lime, garden grown, dried and then powdered rosemary (spice grinder) and oregano, and binder was evoo.

Will cook on high heat (425-450°) indirect, above a pan of large cut onions and 4 cups water to catch all those drippings in which will then become a gravy.

Internal temp target of 132-135° with a center probe, pulled, tented and rest for 30 mins. Final rise temp should get me to 140-142° or so which is just below medium (145° is medium).

In the fridge , exposed so the roast can absorb and contemplate all these flavors.

Lamb gravy. Poured over the onions, lamb drippings water pool from the catch pan into stock pot for high heat reduction.

Then strained the mash to keep the liquids only and then added the roux.

S&P into for final profile.

Looks great....a lot of this is things I do not eat hardly at all.......
The gravy process however really caught my eye.
these are some good eatins. all very easy to make. you're basically looking at an old school Eastern European Jewish New Year's large family/friends meal. many of these dishes have been in my family for at least 3 generations that I know of and came from generations before them. this summer i was able to track some of my family history back to 1867.
 
My family came here from Europe in the mid 1960’s.
Things weren’t always good.
We were simple peasant farmers.

Last night my Moms cooked for us.
I had 3 plates of meat, 4 potato pancakes, several slices of homemade bread and some pie.
Oh yeah, Mutti made me eat my veggie’s :).

Share more, please. What did mom make? And what’s the home country? A fried potato pancake sounds real good. With heavy sour cream.
