Roast lamb with garlic and rosemary

What can I say about this dish...? I absolutely love it! It's very easy to make.. just make a few holes in the meat, fill the holes with garlic and rosemary, stick it on the oven (boil some potatoes in the meantime and add them with the lamb) and 2 hours later you have beautiful meal..!

A friend of mine suggested I try using a bread crumbs, anchovies and lemon zest stuffing but i didn't feel brave enough.. Maybe next time!

All the ingredients used: 1.5kg lamb leg, 3 cloves garlic, 1kg potatoes, 4 sprigs rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 220°C. With a sharp knife make long and thin lines along the lamb. Season the lamb well with salt and pepper and massage the oil in. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife and insert slices of garlic and small sprigs of rosemary into the cuts. Do this on both sides.

Place the leg of lamb on a roasting tray with a little olive oil on the base and put on the center shelf of the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 150°C and leave the lamb to cook for 2 hours (dependent on its weight and how well you like it cooked),

In the meantime cut some potatoes and boil them for 10-15 minutes. Then place them with the lamb in the oven and allow to cook for 1.5 to 2 hours. You can turn it over half way.

2 hours later...
