Ingredients
- 4.5lb lamb leg
- olive oil
- salt, ground sea
- black pepper, ground
- 1tsp oregano, dried
- 4sprigs rosemary, fresh
- 1head garliccut in half horizontally
- 2 onions, brownquartered
- 3cups chicken stock
- 2cups water
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325 f (160 c).
- Rub a good amount of olive oil over the surfaces of the lamb. Liberally season with salt, pepper and oregano.
- Place 2 sprigs of rosemary in the middle of a baking dish, along with the garlic, cut-side facing up, and onions. Lay the lamb on top. Place the remaining 2 sprigs of rosemary on top of the lamb. Pour the chicken stock and water around the lamb. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
- Cook for 4 hours. Remove the foil and cook for a further 30 minutes.
- Remove the lamb from the baking dish (reserve the cooking liquid) and allow the lamb to rest for 15 minutes, covered loosely with foil. (Prepare your mashed potatoes, if using, while the lamb rests.)
- Meanwhile, remove any excess oil from the roasting pan. The remaining pan liquid will form the gravy.
- To serve, you can either carve the lamb or just pull away the lamb in chunks. Serve with mashed potatoes, with the re-heated gravy poured over the top.
