This is our traditional Easter meal, a leg of lamb stuffed with fresh rosemary from the garden and thick slices of garlic. It’s such a treat as we don’t eat lamb often. Choose woodier stalks of rosemary as they are easier to push into the meat.

Steps

1

Put the meat into a roasting tray. Use your hands to rub a couple of tablespoons of oil into the meat.
2

Now use a sharp knife to make deep cuts into the meat at intervals. Into each cut push one thick dice of garlic and a third of a woody rosemary stalk. Season with salt and pepper.
3

Cover the whole dish in foil to seal it, and bake according the time you’ve calculated for the weight of your joint. Baste occasionally and remove the foil 20 minutes before the end of the roasting time.
4

To serve, remove the rosemary stalks and carve into slices. Drizzle the meat in more garlic oil, juices from the baking tray, a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh rosemary leaves.
