bullmastiff 615 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Had some friends round yesterday so thought it was a good excuse to cook a Roe Haunch (usually too much for just me and the wife). Rubbed some Olive oil onto it, a dusting of Nutmeg, Paprika, dried Rosemary, a bay leaf and a few crushed Juniper berries, then covered it with some oak smoked streaky bacon I managed to get cheap from Morrisons and wrapped it in tin foil. 15 mins per pound then 20 mins with the foil open to brown it off. Served with Roast spuds cooked around the joint and some mixed veg it was delicious! and went down a treat! Eating like kings and all for the cost of just a few pounds for the spuds, veg and some almost out of date bacon!!! Cheers Luke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 looks very nice ... what heat was the oven at ??? ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I preheated it to 250ºC then as I put the joint in I turned it down to 170ºC (Fan assisted oven). It say's in the books to cook for 15 mins at 250ºc then turn down to 170ºc but our oven is quite efficant and doesn't cool down very quickly, so I turn it down as soon as the meat goes in.
