Ingredients

  • 10 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tsp coarse crystal sea salt
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves only
  • 1 tbsp clear honey
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.9kg Welsh half leg of lamb
  • 100ml white wine

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Crush the garlic cloves with the salt in a pestle and mortar or small food processor, adding the rosemary, honey and cumin. Stir in the olive oil to make a thick paste. Rub the garlic mixture over the skin of the lamb and place in a cast iron casserole or deep roasting tin.

  2. Roast the lamb for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C, gas mark 3. Mix 100ml water with the white wine and pour around the lamb. Cover the pan with a lid or foil. Cook for a further 2-2½ hours until the meat is tender and the garlic crust is golden.

  3. Transfer the lamb to a dish and leave to rest for 20 minutes in a warm place. Bring the pan juices to the boil and simmer fast for 8-10 minutes until syrupy, then season and serve with the sliced lamb.
