Ingredients

  • 2.5 kg Meat, lamb, loaf

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, pepper, black

  • 45 g Mustard

  • 150 g Bread, wheat

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 2.5 spoons Parsley, fresh

  • 1 spoon Rosemary, fresh

  • 1 spoon Thyme, fresh

  • 3 spoons Oil, olive

  • 1.5 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

Steps

  1. Rinse the lamb leg under running water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Season it evenly with salt and freshly ground pepper. Rub the spices into the meat with your fingers. Let the seasoned lamb leg rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Grease a suitably sized baking dish with oil. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil.

  3. Evenly coat the lamb leg with mustard and cover it on all sides with the breadcrumb and herb mixture. Place the prepared lamb leg in the greased baking dish (with the fat side facing up). Put the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  4. After 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 175 degrees Celsius and continue roasting for another 75 to 90 minutes.

  5. Remove the baking dish with the lamb leg from the oven, transfer the leg to a cutting board, loosely cover it with a piece of aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  6. Slice the meat into thin pieces, serve on plates, and accompany with your chosen side dish.
