• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Pick and finely chop rosemary leaves. • Lightly score lamb leg fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern.

TIP: Run your fingers down the rosemary stalk to remove the leaves easily.

TIP: Scoring the lamb allows the marinade to flavour the leg evenly, but be careful not to slice through the meat!

• Place lamb, fat-side up, in a baking dish. Pour over marinade and evenly rub over all sides of the lamb. Add the water to the base of dish.

TIP: The water prevents the excess marinade from burning.
