Ingredients
2.5 kg. leg of lamb, without fat3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs or 2 teaspoons dried herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 225 C.Cut about 12 incisions in the meat using a pointed knife, at regular intervals.
Make a paste of the salt and garlic in a mortar or blender. Stir in the herbs and parsley. Rub the mixture into the scored meat, with a teaspoon or (in my case) your fingers. Rub on the olive oil and leave to marinate in a cool place for an hour, then place in oven.
Roast 15 min., then lower temperature to 200 C. Continue roasting for another 50-60 minutes, frequently basting with gravy.
Let rest for 20 min. in a warm place before slicing.
