How to roast a lamb leg

If you’re expecting a lot of people over for a Sunday roast, a lamb leg will give you plenty of tender meat for everyone. It’s a popular cut with a lovely flavour, and because it’s very lean it cooks fast and is a good choice for a health conscious dinner. Serve with a refreshing mint sauce, leafy seasonal salad and chilled potato salad for the ultimate meal.
