Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 4 large onions
  • 1 head garlic
  • 10 sprigs fresh thyme
  • coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • fine salt
  • 2 kg bone-in lamb leg
  • 100 g demi-glace

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • 2
    Strew the onions, garlic, and thyme over the bottom of a roasting pan that is just large enough for the lamb leg. Rub the lamb with coarse salt and pepper and place on top of the vegetables.
  • 3
    Roast the lamb until the internal temperature reaches 40°C, about 45 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and tent with foil. Cover the foil with a couple layers of kitchen towels. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Alternatively, set the pan aside to rest in an oven at 65°C.
  • 4
    When the meat has rested, transfer the leg to a carving board. Discard the thyme sprigs. Transfer the onions, garlic, and any juices in the roasting pan to a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the demi-glace and stir occasionally until the sauce is thickened.
  • 5
    In the meantime, carve the leg by slicing the two, large protruding muscles on the diagonal toward the hip.
  • 6
    Divide the lamb between heated serving plates. Mound the vegetables along with its sauce next to the lamb. Serve immediately.
  • Ready !
