Roasted leg of lamb with subtle hints of garlic, mint and rosemary. Simple to prepare, the perfect roast for a family feast.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 leg (or half leg of lamb)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2-4 cloves of garlic (depending on how strong you like it)
• 2 tbsp dried mint
• A few sprigs of rosemary
• Salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1About an hour before you want to cook your lamb, remove it from the fridge, remove all packaging and place into a dish.
2. 2Peel and crush the garlic (2-4 cloves), mix it with the olive oil (1 tbsp) and dried mint (2 tbsp). Rub or brush the garlic and mint mix over the joint of lamb ensuring it is coated all over. Season with salt and then lay a few sprigs of rosemary on top and cover loosely with clingfilm and allow to come to room temperature before roasting.
3. 3Pre-heat your oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan). Place the lamb onto a roasting dish and then roast for 2 hours, 5 minutes. About every 20-30 minutes, baste the joint with the juices in the bottom of the tray (careful not to wash off the garlic and mint).
4. 4Once the lamb has cooked remove it from the oven, cover with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
