Manuka Smoke Infused Balsamic Roasted Lamb Leg

Manuka Smoke Infused Balsamic Roasted Lamb Leg

Telegraph Hill Manuka Smoke Infused Balsamic Drizzle brings rich, smoky sweetness to this roasted lamb leg, paired with rosemary and lemon for a deeply flavourful finish.

Ingredients

1 lamb leg
¼ cup Telegraph Hill Manuka Smoke Infused Balsamic Drizzle
Telegraph Hill Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Leaves of 1 large rosemary sprig, finely chopped
Juice of ½ lemon 

Method

Preheat your oven to 200℃ fan bake. Place the lamb leg into a large roasting dish, and pat dry with a paper towel.

In a small bowl, combine the Telegraph Hill Manuka Smoke Infused Balsamic Drizzle, a good glug of olive oil, rosemary and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until mixed.

Using a sharp knife, score the top of the lamb leg 4-5 times, then pour the sauce over and rub over the meat and into the scores until the lamb is completely coated.

Roast for around an hour and a half, if you like your lamb pink, basting with the cooking juices 2-3 times during the cooking time.

Once cooked, cover with foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes, then slice and serve whilst hot!

 Tip: make a quick pan gravy to serve with the lamb by deglazing the pan with hot water, then thickening with a cornflour slurry and seasoning to taste with salt, pepper and more balsamic as needed.
