| 
| - 1.2kg leg of lamb |
- Fresh rosemary leaves |
| - 1 rasher streaky bacon (optional) |
- Salt and pepper |
| - 2 garlic cloves cut into
slivers |
- Barbecue hood required |
| - 1 teaspoon of butter |
|
With a small knife make incisions all over
the leg. Insert a sliver of garlic and a
few rosemary leaves into each incision.
For older lamb, add a small piece of
streaky bacon as well.
Place the leg of lamb on cake rack. Place
the cake rack over a baking tray
filled with 2cm of water. Season the lamb
with salt and pepper and place 1
teaspoon of butter on lamb.
Position the lamb in the centre of the
preheated barbecue with the outside burners
on moderate
and the central burners turned off. Close
the hood and barbecue for approximately
1 - 1 ¾ hours.
To test the meat insert a skewer in to
thickest part of the leg. If the juices
run out pink then the meat close to the
bone is still pink. If the juices run out
clear, then the meat is cooked through.
- Serves four - six.
