Method

Mix together the garlic, chilli, rosemary, seasoning and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this over the leg of lamb. You can score the flesh first to help give the paste something to hold on to.

Place on the lower rack and cook for 15 minutes at 230°C (446°F).

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes to size and steam or parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and return to the empty saucepan. Add the paprika and semolina. Pop the lid back on the saucepan and shake to fluff up and coat the vegetables.

Place the potatoes around the lamb. Spray with olive oil. Halve the onions and place them with the vegetables, along with the rosemary sprigs.

Cook for another 10 minutes before turning down to 190°C (374°F) and cooking for 30 – 45 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction.

The cooking time for lamb depends on the size of the joint. Remember to turn the lamb and vegetables regularly and add a spray of oil or paste as required.

Serve with homemade gravy.

175g/6 oz self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 medium eggs
60g/2 ¼ oz ground almonds
125g/4 ½ oz golden caster sugar
125g/4 ½ oz soft butter
100g/3 ½ oz icing sugar

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Norma Miller.

Her book, containing more than 150 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Secret”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar.

Method

A well-known traditional cake to which I’ve added ground almonds. Bite into a slice and taste the intense citrus flavours of the sweet glaze which is poured over the hot cake. You will need a greased and base-lined 18cm/7 inch deep cake tin (square or round) which fits in your oven.

1.Remove the lid from the halogen oven, place the low rack inside the oven and replace the lid. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

2.Finely grate the rind from half the orange and half the lemon, cut both in half and squeeze the juice from the whole fruits (you will need about 6 tbsp). Mix the juices together in a small basin.

3.Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Break the eggs into the flour and add the ground almonds, sugar, butter, orange and lemon rinds and 3 tbsp fruit juice.

4.With a wooden spoon or mixer, lightly beat the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed, light and fluffy. Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.

5.Put into the hot oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until risen, firm to the touch and cooked through.

6.Whilst the cake is cooking, make the drizzle mixture. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, pour in the remaining 3 tbsp fruit juices and mix to a smooth paste.

7.Turn the cake onto a wire rack and whilst still hot use a fine skewer to make several holes in the top of the cake. Spoon the drizzle mixture over the top of the cake and leave to cool.

Roast Gammon Joint

Posted by Editorial Staff on Mar – 25 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
2 kg/4.4 lb gammon joint
Cuisine: Cooking time: 70 mins Serving: 4-6 people

Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe for cooking gammon joint in your halogen oven.

Method

For a 2 kg gammon joint

Place the gammon on the bottom rack and cover with foil loosely. For halogen ovens smaller than 12L models use the extension ring to take the heat source higher.

Preheat the halogen oven to 160°C (approx 325°F) and cook for 1 hour. Turn it and cook for another hour.

Then remove foil and, still at 160°C, let it brown for 10 minutes.

When it’s brown all round, check the gammon’s cooked through. Depending on the shape/thickness of your joint, cooking times may vary a bit.

Test with a skewer to make sure juices run clear.
