💥Ingredients💥
1 large leg of lamb approximately 1.8kg - trimmed and with bone
2 large onions - red or white, papery skin removed and quartered
💥Fresh Herb Paste💥
3 cloves of garlic - peeled
2 tsp dried sweet paprika
2 tbsp fresh rosemary - chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 lemon - grated zest
1 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
250ml sweet sherry - or apple juice
Tangy Mint Sauce
4 tbsp fresh mint - finely chopped
2 tsp caster sugar
3 tbsp boiling hot water
1 tsp ground cumin
6 tbsp cider vinegar
💥Instructions💥
First prepare the fresh herb paste
Blend together the garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, paprika, salt and extra virgin olive oil to form a thick paste. Leave to one side.
Prepare baking tray or casserole
Lightly oil the base of the chosen pan, placing pieces of quartered onion on the bottom so that the whole leg of lamb can sit on top.
Prepare the lamb
Using a large spoon or by hand, smother the leg of lamb all over with the fresh herb paste.
💥Roast in 140C oven💥
Place the leg of lamb on top of the quartered onions and place in the oven to roast for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove from the oven and pour over the sherry / or apple juice. BASTE well. Place back in the oven uncovered, and cook slowly for 3 hours, basting the whole joint well with the juices every 45 minutes.
💥Prepare tangy mint sauce💥
In a fairly small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the boiling water. Once dissolved add the cumin and vinegar. Only just before serving add the chopped mint so it remains its bright green colour.
💥To serve💥
Once the lamb is cooked, remove from the oven and the delicious cooking juices, and transfer to a board ready for carving.
With a large spoon remove some of the lamb fat from the cooking liquor, strain and pour this flavoursome liquid into a jug to serve as gravy with the lamb.
A delicious roast best served with mashed potatoes, the tangy mint sauce and a cooked vegetable of your choice.
