Heat the oil in a roasting tin, then add the lamb and onion and brown all over.
Season the lamb, then place the tin in a preheated oven (220ºC/425ºF/Gas7) for 20 minutes.
Stir the sugar into the hot coffee to dissolve.
Remove the tin from the oven and pour the hot coffee all over the meat.
Reduce the heat to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas 5 and return the meat to the oven, until done to your liking: for medium, cook for 15 minutes per 500g/1 lb2oz
Remove the lamb, place on a carving board, cover with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the liquid from the tin over a sieve and a jug, reserving the liquid in the jug.
Add the butter to the roasting tin and, over a direct heat, melt then add the flour.
Cook for 1 minute, stirring, then, add the strained coffee liquid, hot lamb stock and the cream.
Whisking constantly, cook for 4 - 5 minutes until smooth and thickened.
Season to taste and serve piping hot with the carved lamb
