5 to 6 pound leg of lamb
1c. water
1Tbsp. butter
1 onion, stuck with 3 whole cloves
1 large carrot, sliced
2 slices of UNpeeled lemon

Place the leg of lamb in a roasting pan with the water. Cover and cook over high heat on top of stove until the water evaporates. Uncover, add the butter, and still over high heat brown the meat all over. Remove the lamb from the pan and discard all the accumulated fat from the pan.

Cover and simmer over very low heat for 1 1/2 hours. Blend together the wine, cream and browned flour. Pour over lamb. Stir around until well mixed with all the ingredients.
Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes. Remove the meat to a hot platter. Strain the gravy and serve it separately.

Note; to brown, stir all purpose flour constantly over low heat in a dry heavy skillet until golden brown.
