In the world of modern cooking, it's easy to get lost in the latest trends and gadgets, but sometimes the best recipes are those that have been around for generations: a leg of lamb cooked over a fire pit with garlic and rosemary. This old-school technique may require a bit more effort, but the result is a mouth-watering, tender roast that is sure to turn heads. So, roll up your sleeves, get your fire pit ready, and let's get cooking!
Ingredients
Leg of Lamb
1 bulb of garlic
Handful of Rosemary
Salt Pepper & Oil
Method
Prepare a good size fire in your fire pit
Season with salt and pepper and rub with oil
Cut pockets into your lamb leg and stuff with whole pieces of garlic and rosemary.
Hang lamb above about 20 cm above the fire
Spritz with stock, apple juice or garlic water every 30 minutes. Attend the fire and add wood regularly, adjusting the height of the lamb where necessary.
Cook for 4-5 hours. Probe the meat to see if it is cooked to your liking- 63c for medium rare or 75c for well done.
Rest the lamb for 20 minutes and carve.
