with a lamb roast.

lightly paste lamb,

with a thin coating of Vegemite

then add some cracked pepper,

some garlic, salt, some basil,

and a pinch of salt over lamb,

to make the outer skin crunchy

before cooking at 230f for 2- 3 hours

hmmm hungry now,

starting to salivate here

good for beef stew as well,

just add a table spoon of Vegemite,

let it simmer for 20 minutes,

stir occasioanally and add some,

cracked pepper to taste into stew,

that will serve 8-12.

yummo

Cheers
