Ingredients
- 2.5 kg (5 1/2 lb) leg of lamb
- 900 g (2lb) red-skinned potatoes, quartered
- 450 g (1lb) carrots, sliced
- 450 g (1lb) parsnips, sliced
- 4 Red Onions peeled and quartered
- 1 garlic bulb halved
- 1 lemon halved
- 240 ml (1 cup) white wine
- 240 ml (1 cup) lamb or beef stock
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp dried mixed Mediterranean herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano)
- Couple of sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Mix the mustard, honey and herbs together in a bowl.
- Pat your lamb dry with kitchen paper, rub with the honey mustard and season liberally with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Let your marinated leg of lamb sit at room temperature for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place all the chopped vegetables, garlic and lemon in a deep roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme sprigs.
- Place the lamb on a rack and rest over the vegetables.
- Cook for 20 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F). Pour the wine and stock into the roasting tin.
- Cook for another hour and 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the lamb registers at 60°C (140°F) on a meat thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the lamb on a platter, loosely covered with foil, to rest for 20 minutes.
- Check the vegetables are all cooked through, if not return to the oven while lamb is resting. Once done, squeeze some of the roasted lemon over the vegetables.
- Arrange the vegetables on a serving tray. Carve the meat and serve on top of the vegetables.
