Ingredients
1.5kg easy carve roast lamb leg
olive oil
1 bunch thyme
½ cup (180g) honey
roasted vegetables, steamed greens and gravy, to serve
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place lamb on a rack (trivet) in a baking pan.
2. Drizzle roast with oil, season to taste and arrange thyme sprigs over lamb.
3. Bake for 1¼ - 1½ hours or to taste (25 minutes per 500g will give a medium-cooked roast).
4. Remove from oven and drizzle immediately with honey. Cover and rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted vegetables, steamed greens and gravy.
Tips: It is important to allow roast to rest before carving to retain juices.
