METHOD

Method for the Leg Roast:1.) Wash and drain the Leg then marinate with all the marinade ingredients for 2-3 hours or overnight.2.) Drizzle a roasting pan with 3 tblspns oil then transfer the lamb leg to roasting pan with all the marinade that’s left in your bowl. Add ¼- or ½ cup boiled water (depending on the size/ tenderness of your lamb leg) to pan and cover with foil - Bake at 120degrees in on the middle rack of the oven for about 3-3 ½.Turn the leg every 1hour or so and spoon marinade when turning so it keeps moisture in meat.3.) Remove from the oven once it’s cooked through and there’s only a little thick sauce left.
Method for the Veggies1.) Melt butter in a pan add the veggies that take longer to cook 1st, then after a while add the softer veg except the tomatoes (they go in last when cooked)2.) Add the green chillies,dhana jeeru (cumin) powder, yoghurt and salt/pepper to taste and simmer Until the veg is coated in the yoghurt - then add the tomatoes - place the lid on and switch the cooker off (the tomatoes will cook in that much heat).
Method For the Lemon Butter Sauce:1.) Add butter to a light-coloured saucepan (this is important so you can see that it does not burn) and melt butter over medium heat.2.) Once butter is melted, add lemon juice, parsley,salt, sugar, chilli flakes and pepper and simmer for 3 minutes.3.) Switch off the heat (add cream at this point) and serve over your lamb leg roast and veggies.
