Ingredients

4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, minced
2.25kg (5 lb) whole leg of lamb
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Preparation method

1. In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, rosemary, ground black pepper, lemon zest and garlic. Mix well and apply to the lamb. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 230 C / Gas mark 8.
3. Place lamb on a rack in a roasting tin and sprinkle with salt to taste.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 200 C / Gas mark 6 and roast for 55 to 60 more minutes for medium rare. The internal temperature should be at least 63 degrees C. Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

    Tweak: ob1jimnobi Something else:

    did not have time to marinate so: pre heated honey, tomato puree, lemon zest, rosemary, cracked black pepper into frying pan, sealed and browned the lamb in that pan before salting and placing into oven.

    Review: suziejeenes

    quite simply the best roast lamb i have ever done, i have never felt the need to comment on a recipe until i tried this...brilliant!! Add more olive oil whilst cooking to keep it moist.
