Instructions

• 1.   Preheat the oven to 240°C (th. 8). Let the butter soften at room temperature.
• 2.   Fill a saucepan with water and heat it. Place the whole, unpeeled garlic cloves in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain them.
• 3.   Next, place the leg of lamb in a large dish. Brush it with softened butter and drizzle it with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with bay leaves and thyme or rosemary leaves.

• 5.   Cook the leg of lamb in the oven, calculating 15 minutes per 500g. Baste it regularly with its cooking juices to make the meat more tender.
