How to Roast a Leg of Lamb

A simple and effective technique for roasting a leg of lamb with a preparation time of 5 minutes and cooking time of 90 minutes. Ingredients: leg of lamb, salt, pepper, button mushrooms.

Steps

1. Turn on the oven and preheat at 180 degrees celsius in conventional oven mode.
2. On an oven tray, lay out a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap the entire leg of lamb.
3. Place the lamb on the foil and season liberally with salt and grounded pepper. Place the mushrooms around the lamb.
4. Wrap the foil by folding up the sides. Seal the edges by rolling them together. It is this sealing method that allows the lamb to be cooked without losing too much of its juices.
5. Place the tray in the oven for 90 minutes to cook.
6. [Optional Step] To brown the lamb, open the foil carefully on the top to expose the lamb to direct heat for an additional 10-15 minutes.
7. Your leg of lamb is ready for serving as a main for 4-6 people.

Tips

• To prevent the juices from leaking, double wrap the lamb and contents with the foil.
• For variation, herbs such as rosemary can be added with the salt and pepper.
