Rosemary Honey Roast Leg Of Lamb

3 stars based on 5 reviews Rate this Recipe

1. Combine honey, mustard, rosemary, ground black pepper, lemon zest and garlic in a bowl.

2. Rub into the lamb.

3. Cover and leave to marinate, refrigerated, overnight.

4. Preheat the oven to 220C.

5. Place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan.

6. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

7. Bake for 20 minutes.

8. Reduce heat to 195C.

9. Roast for a further 55-60.

Keep an eye on lamb because cooking times will vary depending on whether you like well done, medium rare or rare lamb.

I have to say I was disapointed with this. It smelt delicious whilst cooking but the flavour of the marinade completely overtook the lamb and I had to throw most of it away. You also couldn't use the marinade to pour over the lamb while serving as suggested above because there was far too much fat in it from roasting the meat. Might be okay for anyone who likes a strong flavour of herbs, no votes from my family though sorry.

Was looking for a nice marinade for leg of lamb and found this - have just prepared this and will leave to marinade overnight. The marinade smells absolutely delicious, can't wait to try it.

Made this a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely. I'd advise be very generous with the marinade so you've got plenty to smother over the lamb when serving.
