How To Cook

We Recommend: 

Ingredients

• Bone-in lamb leg (1.2 kg or 2.4 kg)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Garlic cloves (4-6, smashed)
• Fresh rosemary (or thyme) sprigs
• Lemon (optional, for zest and juice)
• Optional: vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes, onions) for roasting

Instructions

1. Preparation

1. Remove from Fridge: Take the lamb leg out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
3. Season the Lamb:
• Pat the lamb dry with paper towels.
• Rub the lamb leg with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
• Insert smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs into slits in the meat for added flavour.
4. Optional: Add Lemon: Zest and juice a lemon, and drizzle the juice over the lamb for extra flavour.

2. Cooking Method

Roasting

1. Prepare the Roasting Pan:
• Place the lamb leg in a roasting pan. If using, arrange vegetables around the lamb.
2. Roast the Lamb:
• Cooking Times:
• 1.2 kg lamb leg: Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
• 2.4 kg lamb leg: Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach:
• Medium-Rare: 55-60°C (130-140°F)
• Medium: 60-65°C (140-150°F)
• Well-Done: 70°C (160°F) and above.
• Baste the lamb with its juices halfway through the cooking time.
3. Rest the Lamb:
• Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminium foil. Allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a more flavourful and tender result.

3. Serving Suggestions

• Carve and Serve: Carve the lamb leg and serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
• Garnish: Consider garnishing with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges for a touch of brightness.

4. Tips for Success

• Marinating (Optional): For even more flavour, consider marinating the lamb in garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Herb Crust: For a flavourful crust, mix breadcrumbs with herbs and olive oil, and press onto the lamb before roasting.
