- 1.5 tbsp Fresh rosemary leaves (finely chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Whole heads of garlic (halved horizontally)
- Few sprigs rosemary (optional)
- 4 tbsp Flour (plain/all-purpose)
- 2.5 cups Beef broth/stock (low sodium)
Instructions
- Take the lamb leg out of the fridge at least 1 hour before roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F (220°C fan) with the oven shelf in the middle.
- Mix rosemary, minced garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl to form a fragrant paste.
- Coat the lamb leg in a roasting pan with the rub, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place halved garlic under the lamb.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan) and roast for an additional 1 hour.
- Check doneness at the 45-minute mark for even cooking.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest loosely covered with foil for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
- Discard rosemary sprigs, then prepare the gravy by placing the roasting pan on medium heat.
- Add flour to the fat and mix, cooking for about 1 minute until combined.
- Pour in half of the beef stock to dissolve the bits in the pan, and add the remaining stock.
- Use a potato masher to mash the garlic into the gravy.
- Taste and season the gravy with salt and pepper as needed.
- Let the gravy simmer until it starts to thicken, then remove from heat.
- Strain the gravy into a bowl, mashing the garlic for remaining liquid, and serve.
