Serves: 6

Recipe Ingredients
1.3kg leg of lamb, boneless;
2 fresh rosemary stems, leaves picked off;
2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into thin slivers;
25g canned anchovy fillets (optional), drained and cut into 1cm pieces.
 
Recipe Method
Make small incisions all over the skin of the lamb with a sharp knife. Insert 2 leaves of rosemary, a sliver of garlic and a piece of anchovy into each slit. Season well with pepper (dont use salt as anchovies are salty).

Place the lamb in a large roasting tin and cook in the oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes at 190c/gas5 (allow 25mins per 450g).

Put the lamb on a plate, cover with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
