Directions
Prep Time: 10 - 15min
Total Time: 4 hours
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the top of the meat.
- Put the meat in a roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper and spread mustard over the whole leg. Press the garlic cloves into the slits. Chop the rosemary finely and sprinkle over the meat.
- Baste the leg with olive oil and transfer to the oven.
- Baste the meat from time to time with the pan juices that forms while it’s cooking.
- Put the carrots and potatoes in the oven with the leg an hour before cooking time ends and baste with the pan juices. Cook until crisp.
- Remove the meat from the oven, place meat with potatoes and carrots on a serving platter. Reserve the pan juices. Place the pan juice in a small pot, add some boiling water if needed, whisk in the corn flour and bring to a simmer until it thickens.
- Pour through a sieve and serve with the leg of lamb. Carve the meat and serve with the carrots and potatoes and gravy.
