Which Cooking Method is Ideal for a Leg of Lamb

Whether boneless or bone-in, the perfect leg of lamb should be either oven-roasted until blushing pink on the inside (with an internal temp around 130°F) or roasted long and slow for several hours until the meat is very tender and falls apart to internal temp around 175°F (I often use the slow cooker for that).

What is the Ideal Cooking time for a Leg of Lamb

A Welsh leg of lamb is a cut of meat from the hind leg of a lamb that is native to Wales.

It is a popular dish in Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom, and is often served as a Sunday roast.

Slow-Roasted Leg of Lamb

Succulent, falling-off-the bone lamb made easy – this slow-cooked roast leg of lamb recipe with vegetables is ideal when you’re after a fuss-free one-pot meal

Ingredients

• • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 kg leg of lamb
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves only
  • 1 bulb garlic, cloves sliced
  • 2 red onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 sticks celery, trimmed and chopped
  • 175g baby leeks, trimmed
  • 1/2 a low-salt vegetable stock cube
  • 2 x 390g cartons chopped tomatoes

  Step 1

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas mark 3. Rub the oil over the meat and make incisions in the lamb with a sharp knife. Divide the rosemary leaves and a quarter of the sliced garlic between the holes and push in firmly.

  Step 2

  • Put the lamb in a large roasting tin and tip in the remaining garlic and the red onions, butternut squash, carrots, celery and leeks. Make up 200ml stock using the stock cube and pour into the tin. Add the tomatoes, then stir the vegetables until coated. Cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast for 4 hours until the lamb is falling off the bone, the vegetables are tender and the sauce is thick.

Although a lamb has four legs, only the two hind legs produce the cut referred to as a leg .

It is a large, lean, and tender cut and can be used whole or subdivided into smaller cuts, which can are usually cooked using dry heat methods, such as roasting.
