Directions:
Using a sharp knife, remove all the skin from the leg of lamb. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place in roaster. Combine sherry with tomato sauce and consumme or bouillon. Add vinegar, onion, peppers, mushrooms, pimientos, lemon and seasonings. Pour over lamb. Marinate in this for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator. When ready to roast, put a rack under the meat, leaving the sauce around it. Brown quickly in a 400º oven, cover and roast slowly in a 300º oven basting frequently for about 3 hours, or until meat is tender. Pour off sauce, strain and allow to stand in refrigerator until fat cakes on top. Remove this fat. If you wish to serve lamb hot, spread sauce over meat, cover roaster and reheat in low oven.
