How to Cook the Perfect Roast Lamb

Ingredients

arrow

1 Quality Mark lamb leg

Method

To Select Cut

To Roast

1

There are a few different types of legs you can use.

2

A full bone-in leg includes meat from the whole lamb leg including the rump, topside, silverside and shank.

3

Readily available in most butchers and supermarkets – a classic, much loved kiwi roast that I love to serve.

4

The end bone makes a useful handle for carving.

5

The carvery lamb leg is made up of the shank, silverside and a small piece of topside, and is semi boned for easier carving.

6

This can also be rolled out, stuffed then rolled up and tied before roasting for a lovely tender result.

7

A butterflied leg simply has the bone removed and the meat is opened out into a large flat piece – so you get the gorgeous flavour of the leg with a much quicker cooking time and much easier carving.

8

This cut can either be roasted in the oven, or grilled on a BBQ over a medium heat.
