| 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. |
