Easter Lamb Gigot: The best recipe

Method

1. 1

   Preheating

2. 2

   First turn on your oven and set it to a temperature of 210°C (thermostat 7). While the oven heats, prepare all the necessary ingredients on your work plan to optimize the rest of the recipe.

3. 3

   Preparation of meat

4. 4

   Place the lamb's leg on a board, then insert it lightly with a small sharp knife. Insert peeled garlic pods and small strands of rosemary into each incision. Season generously with salt and pepper the whole surface of the leg to raise its flavours.

5. 5

   preparation of the aromatic filling

6. 6

   Have the remaining thyme branches, the grated lemon zest and the remaining few strands of rosemary in the bottom of a large baking dish. These fresh herbs will perfume the meat throughout the cooking, for an intense spring flavor.

7. 7

   seasoning

8. 8

   Mix the Dijon mustard with the ointment butter, add the drained marinated tuna and then generously brush the entire leg with this mixture. Make sure to massage the meat well so that all sides are covered with the preparation.

9. 9

   Ice and anchorage

10. 10

    Pour the dry white wine and chicken broth into the dish, around the leg but not on it, to preserve the aromatic crust. This will guarantee a mellow cooking, while forming a fragrant juice to accompany the meat during the service.

11. 11

    Cooking

12. 12

    Bake the lamb leg in the preheated oven. Cook about 1h30 for dew meat, watering the leg regularly with the cooking juice. Monitor the coloring and cover with a sheet of aluminum paper if the surface is browning too quickly.

13. 13

    Rest

14. 14

    Remove the leg from the oven at the end of the cooking and cover it with a sheet of aluminium paper. Allow the meat to rest for at least 15 minutes so that the juices are evenly distributed and the flesh remains tender during cutting.

15. 15

    Service

16. 16

    Slice the leg well rested, then put on each slice of herbal juice. Serve immediately, ideally accompanied by a Dauphinian gratin or roasted spring vegetables for a friendly and gourmet Easter meal.
