INGREDIENTS:
1 (8-1/2 to 9 pound) leg of lamb 1 clove garlic, sliced 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon chili sauce 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar 2 medium onions, sliced 1 cup boiling water

2 Combine chili sauce, oil, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar, stirring until blended. Set sauce aside.
3 Place lamb, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into lamb, making sure it does not touch bone or fat. Arrange onion slices around lamb. Baste with sauce.
