Method

Stuff garlic strips and rosemary leaves into the holes and season with salt, pepper, and oil.

Coat potatoes in fat and roast until golden, turning occasionally.

Transfer potatoes to the roasting tray under the lamb after 15-20 minutes of roasting.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Prick the lamb leg all over about 20 times and 2 cm deep using a sharp knife.

Process coriander, garlic, anchovies, nuts, and cheese, adding oil until a pesto forms.

Par-boil, drain, and roughen the edges of the potato chunks.

Place lamb on the oven rack with a tray underneath to catch fat and roast for 75 minutes.
