Roast Leg of Lamb

Roast Leg of Lamb

Ingredients:
  • 1 leg of lamb ( 2,5kg )
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 30ml oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • basil sprigs for garnish

Method:

  • Trim excess fat from the lamb, make a few slits in the meat and insert garlic.
  • Mix all remain ingredients, bland well, then rub into the meat.
  • Cover and chill for at least 3 hours or over night to allow the flavors to permeate the meat.
  • Preheat the oven to 250'C. Place the lamb in a heavy baking dish, and bake for 25 min, then reduce heat to 175'C.
  • Continue cooking about 2 hours, basting occasionally with the juices from the baking dish.
