Baked Lamb

Ingredients

Lamb Marinade

  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp harissa paste
  • 4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 lemon , zest and juice
  • 3 tsp ground coriander
  • 3 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp garlic granules

For the lamb

  • 2 boneless legs of lamb (butterflied lamb) 900g | 2 pounds each
  • sea salt to season
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180° (350°F).
  2. Brush a griddle pan with oil, heat and sear the lamb for 4 minutes per side, pressing down so that it browns evenly. This may be quite smoky so open a window or turn an extractor fan on.
  3. Transfer the lamb onto a rack set over a roasting tin. Cook for 30 minutes then check the temperature of your lamb. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or longer, depending on size. Rest before serving.
