🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade by mixing garlic, herbs, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the leg of lamb with the marinade and let marinate for 1h at room temperature or 6-24h in the fridge.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare the vegetables by mixing them with oil, salt, and pepper in the roasting pan.

  4. 4

    Place the lamb on the vegetables and roast for 20 min at 200°C to brown.

  5. 5

    Reduce to 180°C and continue cooking, basting regularly, until desired core temperature is reached (approx. 15 min/500g for medium-rare).

  6. 6

    Remove the lamb, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 15-20 min.

  7. 7

    Return the vegetables to the turned-off oven to keep warm, then slice the meat and serve.

Tips & Tricks
  • Take the lamb out of the fridge 1.5h before cooking for even temperature.
  • Use a probe thermometer for perfect doneness (57-60°C for medium-rare).
  • Never pierce the meat during cooking to preserve the juices.
  • Baste regularly for a flavorful crust and aromatic vegetables.
  • Resting is crucial for juicy and tender meat.
