Instructions

Roast Leg Of Lamb

1. Remove the lamb from the fridge approximately one hour before cooking time. This will allow the lamb to come to room temperature.

3. Carefully insert the knife into the middle of the lamb and cut to make a pocket. Inside the pocket stuff lemon slices and a few pieces of garlic.
4. Carefully pierce the top of the lamb all over with a sharp knife and place sprigs of rosemary, garlic gloves and pieces of lemon inside.
5. Drizzle some olive oil over the lamb and season with salt and pepper.
