Christo's Classic Roast Lamb

This is the quintessential Mum's roast that was a regular feature of my childhood. Simple to make and divine to eat. This is home cooking at its best

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Turn on the oven to 150 degrees c and place a roasting pan in with 2-3 table spoons of dripping. If you don't have dripping, then olive oil is ok as well.

Step 2

Whilst the oven is heating on up, skin the garlic clove and slice into three or four slivers - depending on the size of the garlic.

Step 3

Make thin, deep cuts into the meat and place a sliver of garlic into the cut. Repeat for the remaining slivers, distributing evenly-ish across the roast.

Step 4

Once the dripping has all melted, take the pan out of the over and place the lamb in it. Baste the lamb liberally before placing it back in.
