Even in the blistering heat of a southwestern summer, a roasted leg of lamb can be a great dinner. Outdoor grills were made to cook such delights. While we were at La Combe en Perigord, Di Holuigue showed us a very neat and easy way to carve a leg of lamb. My efforts at carving have always been pretty much hit and miss. This method makes it almost foolproof. I don't remember the name of the very cool tool that she used to hold the bone, but I think one could easily make do just by grasping the bone with your hand. Not elegant, but I know it will work.
What could be simpler? And it makes for a very nice presentation on the plate or platter.
I bet is does make a nice presentation:) Great tips, carving can be a challenge.

Indeed, it does make a lovely presentation. And I can't stress enough how easy it is.
