Cooking method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
2. Line a baking or roasting dish with foil or baking paper. Note the weight of the lamb in order to calculate the cooking time.
3. With a sharp knife, make 8–10 shallow cuts on the top of the leg. Mix together the wine, oil, basil and garlic and massage over the lamb*.
4. Roast in the pre-heated oven for 30 mins per 500g. In the last 30 mins of cooking time, mix all the topping ingredients together and press onto the lamb.
5. Return to the oven for the remaining cooking time.
6. Remove from the oven and rest for 20 mins before carving.

* If time allows, prepare this stage the night before and marinate the meat overnight,
bringing to room temperature before roasting.
