Directions
Step 1Pre-heat oven to 160C/375F/Gas mark 3.
Step 2Push the garlic cloves into the leg of lamb – make a small cut with a knife and then ease them in.
Step 3Spread the mustard over the whole leg of lamb and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4Place the leg of lamb into a large roasting tray and arrange the fresh herbs on and around the lamb; pour the glass of wine into the roasting tray and cover the lamb loosely with foil.
