4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 whole leg of lamb, about 2 to 3kg

---

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

STEP 2: Cut slits in the top of the leg of lamb every 3cm apart deep enough to push slices of garlic down into the meat. Sprinkle salt and pepper generously all over the top of lamb. Place several sprigs of rosemary under and on top of the lamb.

STEP 3: Roast until the lamb is cooked to medium well. Do not overcook as the flavour is best if meat is still slightly pink.

Note: Lamb cooking time - As a rule of thumb, roast a leg of lamb for 15 minutes per 500g, plus 10 minutes more.
