Long Sunday Lunch at Nacht Wacht Restaurant with special friends.

Sundays are always a day spend with family and friends, whether I'm working or not.  A typical Sunday starts with our famous Bombay Gin and Tonic (with a dash of lime) around 11 o'clock.
 

Last Sunday I made my famous slowcooked Leg of Lamb with butterbeans, tomatoes and feta.  Such an easy, simple recipe.  I put the leg of lamb in the oven before I go to bed the previous night.  Just seasoned it well with sea salt, pepper, thyme, balsamic, some brown sugar with a healty dash of good red wine.  Put the oven on 140C in the oven for at least 6 - 8 hours.  Let it rest for a hour or so.  The leg will fell of the bone, just shred it in chunky pieces.  Keep the pan sauces, but the lamb back in the casserol.  Add 2 tins of butter beans and 2 tins of tomato.  Taste and season with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of brown sugar.  Put back in oven for 30 min.  Take out and crumble feta over - be generous with the feta!

 
Serve the lamb with Cous Cous, add some cumin and finely chopped red onion with the cumin for a Maroccan flavour.  Make a fresh green salad.  I prefer Cos cos and butter lettuce, with a lot of blue berries.
