Slow Roast Leg Of Lamb
Ingredients
1 x Leg of Lamb
Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper
4 Sprigs x Fresh Rosemary
3 x Cloves of Garlic (sliced)
3 x Onions (halved)
1 Handful x Fresh Mint
400ml x water
Method
Begin by drizzling the leg of lamb with olive oil and rubbing it into the meat all over. Next, season it generously with salt and black pepper and rub that into the meat.
Using a paring knife, make small cuts into the lamb and place in a piece of rosemary and a slice of garlic. Repeat until the whole leg of lamb is studded with rosemary and garlic.
Place the halved onions in an oven tray or dish, covering the bottom. Add any remaining garlic and rosemary, then place in the mint. Lay the leg of lamb on top and pour the water into the bottom of the dish.
Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and then seal it in with a sheet of foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 160°C for 4 hours.
After 4 hours, remove the foil and parchment paper, turn the oven up to 200°C and roast for a further 30 minutes to crisp up.
Serve and enjoy!
