- Put the leg of lamb on a grid in a roasting pan and pour 1 litre (2 pints) of water into the pan.

- Pour the stock from the pan over the leg of lamb occasionally with a spoon.
- For the last half hour of cooking switch on the grill, and grill the leg of lamb on both sides.
- If you use a roasting bag, open it for the last half hour and grill in the same way.
- Sieve the stock into a casserole and skim off the fat.
- Thicken the sauce with flour, or your favourite thickening, season and colour with gravy browning.
- Add the cream and remove from the heat.
- Serve with your choice of vegetables and caramel potatoes.
