Perfect Roast Leg Of Lamb Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

For the perfectly cooked roast leg of lamb, one of the best ways to cook it is with this lamb in a blanket recipe. It may seem an odd way to cook any meat, but it's based on a cooking method from days gone by where the meat is wrapped in hay and given a long, slow cook. It produces a juicy, butter-tender roast lamb. You will not be disappointed. Serve it with a delicious gravy, fresh mint sauce, and some crunchy roasted potatoes. The success of this recipe depends on using good-quality, fresh meat and starting the recipe with the meat at room temperature. If your meat has been in the refrigerator, remove it for at least one hour before cooking.
