Instructions
Step 1
Warm up the oven:
Set the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F).
Step 2
Get the lamb ready:
Using paper towels, pat dry the lamb leg. Make tiny cuts all over the lamb with a sharp knife so that the herb mixture may seep in.
Step 3
To prepare the herb mixture:
Put the parsley, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. To make a paste, thoroughly mix.
Step 4
To season the lamb:
Rub the herb mixture over it, making sure to get it into the cuts. While you prepare the vegetables, let it marinate for ten to fifteen minutes.
Step 5
Get the vegetables ready:
Put the potatoes, carrots, and onions in the roasting pan once they have been quartered. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Step 6
Roast the Lamb:
Arrange the lamb in the roasting pan over the vegetables. Add the chicken stock or white wine to the pan. Wrap aluminium foil loosely around the lamb.
Step 7
Slow Roast:
For two and a half to three hours, roast the lamb in a preheated oven, basting it periodically with the pan juices. To give the lamb time to brown, take off the foil for the final half hour.
Step 8
Check for Doneness:
Measure the internal temperature of the meat using a meat thermometer. Aim for 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare and 65°C (150°F) for medium.
Step 9
Lamb Rest:
After cooking, take the lamb out of the oven and give it a good 15 to 20 minutes to rest before slicing. This ensures a moist and tender outcome by allowing the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Serve:
Slice the lamb and serve it with the pan juices and roasted veggies.
