Roast suckling lamb leg
TASTIER RECIPES

- 1 leg of suckling lamb
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 600g potatoes
- 1 onion (optional)
- 3-4 sprigs of rosemary
- 30ml extra virgin olive oil
- 200ml white wine
- 200ml water
- Half a lemon
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Season the leg of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper so it absorbs the flavors from the start.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into medium-thick rounds. Mix them with the sliced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Spread this mixture on the bottom of a large roasting tin.
- Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Add the rosemary sprigs and pour the wine and water around it to create a light sauce during roasting.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 220°C (425°F) to brown the surface. This step helps to make the final result more flavorful.
- Reduce the temperature to 190°C (375°F) and bake for another 50–60 minutes. Every 15–20 minutes, baste the lamb with its own juices to keep it moist. If desired, turn it over halfway through cooking. When the meat is tender and the potatoes are golden brown, serve everything together with the sauce. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the sauce before serving.

Nutritional Properties and Health Benefits
Lamb meat is rich in minerals, primarily potassium, phosphorus, and iron. It contains fiber, is recommended for people with high cholesterol, provides antioxidants, and is low in calories, making it ideal for inclusion in the daily diet. It also helps reduce homocysteine levels in the blood, a compound associated with heart and circulatory system diseases. Thanks to the presence of dietary lutein, it may decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration.
