Main Dish - European

SERVES

Slow Roasted Lamb

Slow roasting bone-in leg of lamb until falling-off-the-bone tender is one of the best ways of cooking lamb to get luscious and yet flavorful meat. This one is seasoned with garlic, thyme, bay leaves, kosher salt and black pepper – while the dry white wine adds flavors, juiciness and moisture to the end results. If you are thinking of trying sophisticated and elegant recipes for a fancy dinner, this one is great to start with! Make ahead tip: Roast the lamb two days before serving and refrigerate covered, reheat and serve topped with pan juices and potatoes.

Dessert - European

SERVES

Roscon De Reyes

While natives of Spain do celebrate Christmas, their grandest winter celebration is Fiesta de Los Reyes, or the Feast of The Three Kings. Every January 6, Spanish families exchange gifts and enjoy a scrumptious Roscon De Reyes--or King’s Crown Cake. It is a lovely dessert, enhanced with milk, rum, and hints of citrus zest.
