Cooking Steps

1

• 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!

2

• In a medium bowl, combine Kiwi spice blend, rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3

• 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.

4

• Roast lamb for 75-90 minutes for medium. (For well-done, cook for a further 30 minutes, 2 hours in total). • Remove lamb from oven, cover with foil and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.

TIP: The lamb will keep cooking as it rests!

5

• While the lamb is resting, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the cracked black pepper until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add red wine jus, any lamb resting juices and a splash of water. Cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

6

• Use a roasting fork (to keep the lamb steady) and a sharp knife to slice lamb. • Drizzle over remaining roasting juices from the dish. • Serve with red wine pepper jus. Enjoy!
