Инструкции

  1. Use the mortar and pestle to crush the thyme with the garlic and a tsp. of table salt
  2. Grind the mix till you obtain a fine paste, and then add in 1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil and the juice of half a lemon
  3. Chop the dry apricots finely, and then add in them to the paste in the mortar
  4. Crush, mix well and set aside
  5. Preheat the oven to 400-450°F (200-225°C)
  6. Use a large, sharp knife to score the skin of the lamb all over. Score marks should be about 1-1½″ (3-4 cm) apart and ½″ (1 cm) deep Make sure you don’t score the skin too deeply or possibly the lamb will dry out during cooking
  7. Use your hands to stuff each score with apricot stuffing, and also coat the skin with the leftover stuffing
  8. Coat the leg with the rest of the extra virgin olive oil, season all over with salt and pepper and put it in a deep, ovenproof dish
  9. As soon as the oven is warm sufficient, roast the leg of lamb for 1-1½ hrs, turning it in the dish after the first ½ hour of cooking.
  10. Serve the leg of lamb as soon as it comes out of the oven, and carve it into slices just before you eat it.
