Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

  2. 2

    Rub the lamb leg with olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Ensure the lamb is well coated with the seasoning.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the lamb moist.

  5. 5

    While the lamb is resting, make the gravy. In a small saucepan, mix the flour with olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

  6. 6
