A roast dinner classic! This Simple Roast Lamb and Gravy is quick to prepare and quick to cook, but using plenty of rosemary and garlic ensures it’s packed full of flavour! Perfect for your Sunday lunch or Easter celebrations this year.
I love slow roast lamb as much as the next person, but sometimes I just don’t have 4 or 5 hours to spare! This Simple Roast Lamb is a quick and easy recipe for a half leg of lamb (1.5kg / 3.25lb) that takes just over 1 hour 30 minutes from start to finish – and for 1 hour and 10 minutes of that the lamb is in the oven, doing it’s thing, while I do mine…
The bonus of doing fast cooked roast lamb is that the lamb is cooked at a high temperature…ensuring the oven is at the perfect temperature to cook those all important roast potatoes! While the lamb is cooking and resting you can prepare and cook my Easy Peasy Roast Potatoes and Easy Peasy Roast Vegetables.
Add in a green vegetable or two and a jug of gravy and you have yourself a VERY easy and stress free roast dinner. Perfect for Sunday lunch or even your Easter Day celebrations.
This recipe will leave the lamb just a tiny bit pink in the middle. If you prefer your lamb well done, add an extra 5 or 10 minutes to the cooking time.
This recipe makes enough for 4, with enough leftovers to make my Leftover Roast Lamb Shepherd’s Pie. Or if you don’t mind having no leftovers (!) it will serve 6-8, depending on appetite.
My favourite wine match with traditional roast leg of lamb done like this with rosemary and garlic, would be a robust red such as a Rioja or a Rhone. Other options that would work well include a Chianti, Bordeaux or Chilean Merlot. This is one occasion when white wine just doesn’t really work (IMHO!).
Don’t be fazed by the garlic and rosemary part – it really is very easy. Simply use a small sharp knife to cut lots of holes in the lamb and then simply stuff with a small sprig of rosemary and a small slice of garlic. It looks fancy but it’s very easy and takes 5 minutes, tops!
