Today I am marinating a leg of lamb with some of the most delicious and fresh spring flavours.
It's easy and rustic and makes for a wonderful weekend roast.
Herbed Lamb Marinate
a spring of thyme
handful of parsley
six leaves of tarragon
half handful of sage
half handful of marjoram
1/4 cup of good quality olive oil
2 teaspoons of white peppercorns
2 teaspoons of good quality rock salt
4 cloves of garlic
Place all ingredients into a mortar and pestle ( or food processor when in a hurry).
Ground into a fine paste, removing any stems from the thyme springs.
With the lamb place several slits into the skin, this allows for the marinate to get through the lamb and adding flavour.
Rub the lamb all over with the marinate, cover and place in the fridge for 4-5hours.
Ready to roast!
