A rustic wooden table set for a Lord of the Rings inspired feast: a juicy herb-crusted lamb roast with a glossy glaze sits beside golden lembas-style flatbreads, roasted root vegetables, and sprigs of rosemary.

Scale
  • 2.5 kg bone-in lamb leg, trimmed

  3. Place lamb on a rack in roasting pan; roast 15 minutes, then reduce to 350F (175C) and roast until internal 135F (57C) for medium-rare, about 60-75 minutes depending on size.
