Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to gas mark 5.

Step 2

Place leg of lamb in either a roasting tin or a lidded dish and pierce meat all over with a sharp knife. When meat is thoroughly pierced, spread honey over meat and into the cuts with a flat knife. Either sprinkle dried rosemary over the joint or place sprigs of fresh rosemary on top.

Step 3

Place tin - without lid - into the oven and cook for one hour. After an hour of cooking, place lid on tin (or cover with foil), and cook for a further 45-50 mins.

Step 4

After cooking time has elapsed, remove from oven, test softness of meat with a knife and, if appropriately cooked, replace lid, cover with a tea towel and leave to stand for 30 mins before carving.

Use meat juices to make gravy.
