Lamb with rosemary

Difficulty : Reasonably easy

Cooking time : 2 to 3 hours

Ingredients 4 persons

  • 1 piece of leg of lamb
  • 1/2 lemon
  • rosemary needles
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Info

In this recipe only fresh rosemary is used: first the leaves through the herb mixture and then the sprigs tied to the meat.

When you buy the Vogely leg of lamb it will feel soft and when you press on it, the dimple should remain visible for a while. The skin should be dry, but not cracked or flaky.

A guideline for roasting a leg of lamb weighing about 2 kilos is:

Rose: 10 minutes per 450 grams, plus 20 minutes.

Medium: 13 minutes per 450 grams, plus 20 minutes.

Cooked: 20 minutes per 450 grams, plus 20 minutes

Preparation

  1. Cut off small pieces of the skin all around, about the size of a penny.

  2. Rub with the lemon.

  3. With a knife, go along the bone, up to 10-12 inches deep (you're just making a 'tunnel' now, as you cut the meat loose from the bone). Do this from both ends of the bone.

  4. Grind the rosemary leaves and the salt.

  5. Add the garlic and olive oil and continue to rub the mixture.

  6. Rub this mixture onto the meat (where you cut away the skin) and put it into the tunnels you made.

  7. This gives a lot of fragrance to the meat.

  8. Rub the skin with salt and sprinkle with rosemary.

  9. Tie sprigs of rosemary around the meat.

  10. Pour a little oil in a hot roasting pan, place the leg of lamb in it and roast it in the oven at 225 degrees Celsius (gas oven setting 7). Turn it every 30 minutes.
