Carving Guide

Once you’ve finished cooking the perfect
leg of lamb, it’s time to think about how to carve it. Many people find carving a bit daunting, but it need not be. There are no hard and fast rules for carving but if you follow the instructions below, not only will you look like an expert, but the meat will go even further.

Carving Tips

• To make carving easier, create a loose tent of foil over the cooked lamb and allow it to rest for 10 –15 minutes after taking it out of the oven.
• A carving dish with small spikes on it is really handy to keep the lamb steady
  while you work.
• Always try to use a carving knife with a thumb guard. A knife with a 25cm (10 inch) blade is ideal or you can use an electric carving knife to make life even easier.
