Roast Leg of Lamb (Bénichon-style)

Preparation

Season the leg of lamb with salt, pepper, and finely chopped herbs (rosemary and sage).

Quickly sear in a hot oven at 250°C until nicely browned.

Once well browned, deglaze the dish with white wine and broth.

Add the garlic cloves and roast for 1 hour and 30 min.

Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, for 15 min (Bénichon lamb should be well done, not pink).

Carve and serve.

Tips !

  • Serve with mashed potatoes and red carrot salad.
