Method

Place the lamb on the low rack in the halogen oven and cover with the rosemary.

Place the garlic on its stalk next to the leg, drizzle everything with olive oil and cook at 240°C (460°F) for 10 minutes. Turn the lamb over, reduce the temperature to 175°C (350°F) and cook for 20 minutes.

Turn again and cook for a further 20 minutes for pink, 25 minutes for medium and 30-35 minutes for well done.

Remove the lamb from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place for a few minutes before serving.

To make the sauce, fry the shallots in a small frying pan with a little olive oil until translucent, then add the redcurrants. Cook until they burst, then add the red wine and chicken stock.

Increase the heat and reduce the sauce by about half, then strain into a small serving dish.

Serve the lamb with the warm redcurrant sauce, with peas and mashed potatoes.

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes to size and steam or parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and return to the empty saucepan. Add the paprika and semolina. Pop the lid back on the saucepan and shake to fluff up and coat the vegetables.

Place the potatoes around the lamb. Spray with olive oil. Halve the onions and place them with the vegetables, along with the rosemary sprigs.

Cook for another 10 minutes before turning down to 190°C (374°F) and cooking for 30 – 45 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction.

The cooking time for lamb depends on the size of the joint. Remember to turn the lamb and vegetables regularly and add a spray of oil or paste as required.

Serve with homemade gravy.
