    I made this lamb recipe on Sunday. Brilliant. I usually avoid leg and opt for shoulder because the leg can easily dry out. This method gives you perfect lamb! I strained the juices that were trapped in the foil and got a very small amount of fat. I like your really simple way of dealing with the garlic and rosemary. Barding just takes too much time and at the end of the day does not really add anything above your method. The family out voted me and wanted traditional roast potatoes. Not to be undaunted I made the dauphinoise last night. Jacques Pepin describes his grandmothers dauphinoise in his book and it does have cheese on top for colour. Thank you very much!

    Looks fabulous. Strange how herbs are used in different countries. Cannot get fresh rosemary in the supermarkets or dedicated fruit and veg shops, here in france. Not sold in plant pots or fresh cut in sealed plastic bags. Only the dry stuff in little bottles. If you want rosemary tea in france? no problem. Lamb isn't that big here either 😕. But you can buy rosemary potted plants in the garden centres, and i am wondering if all rosemary plants can be used in cooking?

    With the legs I get at the store, they still have the fat cap, especially because American lamb legs come with part of the shoulder. I'd do this unwrapped, and have the onion and shallot in a different pan. Still thinking about when and how to add the garlic, because you used almost a perfect amount of garlic with that lamb.

I have never known anyone raost lamb near boiling it. for me it kills the rich taist. but she is is from an Eastern European pountry . they have No idea how to cook, none in my opinion.
