  • About

This is a wonderful family dish, filling the kitchen with its aromas. Evolved from British, French, and Italian tastes, it should please every discerning palate.

Ingredients

  • 1 leg of lamb
  • 4-6 heads of garlic
  • 10-12 anchovy fillets

Method

With a sharp little knife, pierce the lamb with little cuts into the fat and under the skin - about 20 cuts in all. Peel 3 cloves of garlic and cut into sharp little slivers. Insert into the cuts in the lamb. In the bone area, push a piece of garlic, an anchovy, and a little sprig of rosemary between the bone and meat. Place the rest of the anchovies across the roast lattice-wise. Set aside in
