This quick recipe is easy and delicious. It is perfect for a gathering and looks the part!

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

3 tbsp Just the Crush®

1 Leg of Lamb (approx. 1.8kg)

50g Salted butter (refrigerated)

Bunch of Rosemary

Juice from 2 Oranges

Zest of 2 Oranges

1-2 tsp Salt

Black pepper to taste

 

Method:

  • Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375ºF (190ºC).
  • Place the Lamb on a baking tray and make a number of incisions all over.
  • Zest and squeeze the oranges and drizzle both over the top, ensuring as much goes in to the holes as possible.
  • Cut the butter into thin sticks and pack the holes. This can be a bit fiddly but it is worth it!
  • Smother the leg in Just the Crush®, season with the salt and pepper, then put a stick of rosemary into each hole.
  • Place in the oven for 1hr 15mins, basting every 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, cover in foil and set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Cover the foil with a couple of tea towels to keep the heat in.

 

To Serve: Using a very sharp knife, slice in the direction of the fibers and drizzle with a tablespoon of pan juices. Enjoy!
