A simple roast that lets a great piece of meat shine. Certified organic lamb leg is studded with garlic and rosemary, roasted over onions until tender and blushing in the centre. Classic, generous and perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
1 certified organic lamb leg
2 red onions
Fresh rosemary
1 bulb of garlic
Extra olive oil
Salt
Directions
Take the lamb leg out of the fridge at the start so it can come to room temperature. This should take about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (fan-forced).
Slice the onion into thick rounds. Peel the garlic and cut the rosemary into small pieces. Using a small knife, cut slits into the lamb and stud with the garlic and rosemary into the slits.
Place the sliced onion on a raised roasting rack in a tray, then place the lamb leg on top of the onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes at 220°C.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (fan-forced) and cook for a further 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches about 54°C.
Remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to rest for a minimum of 15minutes. As it rests, the temperature should rise to around 58°C before carvin
