🍽️ Ingredients
For the Lamb Roast:
- 1.5 kg (3 lbs) leg of lamb
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup beef or lamb stock
For the Meat Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup pan drippings or meat juices
- ½ cup red wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Pat the lamb dry and rub it with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Roast the Lamb
Place the lamb in a roasting pan. Pour stock into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 1½–2 hours, depending on the size and desired doneness. Baste occasionally with the juices.
Step 3: Rest the Meat
Once done, remove the lamb and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Make the Meat Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add pan drippings, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thick and glossy. Season to taste.
Step 5: Serve
Slice the lamb and drizzle with the hot meat sauce. Garnish with fresh rosemary for an elegant touch.
