How to Prepare

1

Mix the marinade ingredients and rub them all over the lamb leg; leave to marinate.

2

Spread the cut carrot, onion, tomato and potato in a roasting tray.

3

Place the lamb leg on top of the vegetables.

4

Cover and roast in the oven until the meat is very tender, then uncover to brown and glaze.

5

Rest briefly and serve the lamb over the roasted vegetables.

Chef Noor's Tip

Cover the tray for most of the roast so the lamb steams tender, then uncover at the end for that glazed, golden crust.
