Serves: 6
Preparation: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 75 minutes



Ingredients

  • Leg of lamb, bone in, approximately 2kg/4½lb
  • 4-5 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • Rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F /gas mark 6.
  2. Using a sharp knife, prick the leg of lamb all over, about 20 times and about 2cm/1in deep.
  3. Cut the garlic cloves into thin strips and place one slice of garlic into each hole with the rosemary. Continue until all the holes are full. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with oil.
  4. Place the lamb directly onto the oven rack and place a roasting tray directly underneath on the rack below. This is to catch the fat as it drips from the lamb. Roast in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until cooked to taste, basting frequently.
