Ingredients
  

  • 2.5-3 kg 5.5–6.5 lb leg of lamb
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic peeled and left whole
  • Moroccan spice QB

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) on the convection setting.
  2. Lay the onions, carrots, and garlic on the bottom of a roasting pan, then pour in about 1/2 cup of water.
  3. Score the leg of lamb.
  4. Rub the Moroccan spice over the meat. We suggest using a disposable glove to prevent staining your hands.
  5. Bake uncovered for approximately 5 hours, or until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F), adding water if necessary to keep the base from drying out.
  6. It should be pull-apart tender.
  7. To make a sauce, crush the garlic in the pan, then strain the juices. Remove most of the fat from the drippings and return the juices to the pan. Add a little beef or chicken stock if there isn't enough liquid. Thicken with cornstarch.

Notes

Serve the Moroccan-Spiced Leg of Lamb with Curry Cauliflower in the Air Fryer, couscous, roasted vegetables, or minted yogurt sauce.
