Leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic

To roast a leg of lamb with anchovies and garlic is too strong a treatment for the first sweet, spring lamb that arrives around Easter, but there’s no better way to prepare a roast of mature lamb.

Ingredients

U.S. U.K. Conversion chart
  • Leg of last year's lamb
  • Salted anchovies
  • Garlic
  • Fresh rosemary

Method

  1. Use a small, pointed knife to make small pockets in the meat. Poke a scrap of salted anchovy into each hole, followed by a sliver of garlic and a tuft of fresh rosemary. The anchovy adds an attractive and curiously unfishy savouriness to the meat and even more so to the juices.
  2. If you can roast on a spit, or over a fire, this is an ideal joint to try. Otherwise, roast it in the oven and rest the meat for at least 10 minutes before carving. Recipe by Shona Crawford Poole
