Roast leg of lamb
A leg of lamb roasted on the bone has a delicious flavour and will make the
perfect centre piece at your Easter family feast
Prep: 10 minutes + marinating time
Ingredients
• 1 x leg of lamb, all fat removed
• 150ml red wine
Cook: 1 hour - 1 hour 20 minutes
• 3 sprigs rosemary, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Low calorie cooking spray
Method
1 Place the lamb in a deep dish and
pour the red wine over the top. Sprinkle
with rosemary and leave to marinate
in a cool place for 8-10 hours turning
occasionally.
2 Spray a roasting pan with low calorie
cooking spray and put the lamb in
the pan. Season lightly with salt and
pepper and place in a preheated oven at
200°C/180°C Fan/Gas Mark 6. After 20
minutes, reduce the oven temperature to
190°C/170°C Fan/Gas Mark 5.
3 You can calculate the cooking time for
the lamb at 20 minutes per 450g. Baste
the lamb with a little of the marinade at
intervals during cooking. If you like lamb
well done, add on an extra 20 minutes.
4 Allow the lamb to rest for about 10
minutes after removing it from the oven.
Carve into thin slices and serve with
green beans and mint sauce.
