DIRECTIONS

FOR THE LAMB

1. To begin, add all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly. Then, transfer the dry ingredients to a food processor and add in the wet ingredients, and pulse until a sticky ground "meat"-like texture.

FOR THE SIMMERING BROTH

1. Add all the ingredients above in a large pot. Bring your broth to a boil. Once boiling lay the vegan "lamb" into the broth, cover, and reduce the heat. Boil for 40 minutes and turn the "lamb" once during the cooking process. Then remove the vegan "lamb" from the stock and allow the joint to cool down for 20 minutes.

2. While the "lamb" rests, add all of the ingredients for the marinade together in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

ROASTING THE "LAMB"

1. Preheat your oven to 355°F/179°C

2. Next, in a large roasting pan lay the "lamb" on top of a greased rack Spoon the marinade all over the "lamb" to coat thoroughly.

3. Place the roasting pan into the oven. Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the "lamb" is dry and golden brown.

4. NOTE: You will need to continue basting the "Lamb" with marinade about every 20 minutes to keep it from drying out and enhance the flavor.

5. Finally remove from the oven, slice, and serve. Enjoy.
