Instructions to make If you're coming for dinner (or lunch) at my house, I'll probably feed you this..:
- Preheat the oven to 200°and place the leg of lamb in a roasting tray, preferably one with higher sides..
- Pierce the lamb with a sharp knife 10-12 times all over, then insert the slivers of garlic. Sometimes you need to twist the knife, which feels a little macabre, but you want the garlic to infuse the lamb, and not burn..
- Rub the lamb with the softened butter, then squeeze over the juice of the lemons - i just squeeze by hand, using the fingers of my other hand to catch the pips (this also helps get rid of the garlicky smell on your fingers, so it's win-win)..
- Then pour over the olive oil, and season with the oregano, salt, and pepper, crushing the oregano and salt with your fingers as you sprinkle..
- You can also now add some sturdy fresh herbs of your choosing, should you have them to hand. Rosemary, thyme, or fresh oregano all work very well here..
- Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the lamb has started to acquire a nice golden brown colour..
- Remove from oven and lower the heat - to 120° if you are roasting for 7 hours, and to 150° if you are doing the shorter 5 hour cooking time. Pour the water around the leg of lamb in the tray, tent with foil, and return to the cooler oven..
- If you'd like to roast potatoes alongside the meat, parboil the Agrias, and turn the heat up on the lamb plus potatoes for the last 45 minutes of cooking..
- To serve, remove the lamb to a warmed platter and "carve" (this is more like shredding)..
- Meanwhile, heat the juices in the tray or a small pot, until bubbling fiercely. Add 2 tablespoons flour, and cook off, as you would for a roux. Add 2 cups stock, vegetable cooking water, or 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 cup wine, and beat with a whisk until thickened. Check the gravy for seasoning, and put into a warmed jug or gravy boat..
- Serve the lamb with the potatoes, gravy, mint jelly, and either a rocket salad or steamed greens such as broccolini or spinach..
