Fragrant Leg of Lamb with Soy Glaze

Main Courses

Welsh lamb is rightly famous for its succulent, tender flesh and a roast joint makes the ideal choice when you have family or friends to feed. The aromatic mix of soy sauce, lemon juice and honey gives the lamb a deliciously crisp outer crust.

6 Servings
Ingredients
1.6kg leg of lamb
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp Kikkoman Less Salt Soy sauce
2 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 230C. Place a rack inside a roasting tin.
  2. Make small cuts all over the skin with a sharp knife, break two of the rosemary sprigs into small pieces and push into the cuts. Tuck the remaining rosemary under the joint and lift onto the rack.
  3. Season the lamb with pepper and place in the oven. Immediately lower the temperature to 180C and roast for 1 hour.
  4. Mix together the soy sauce, honey and lemon juice and spoon evenly over the lamb. Roast for a further 30 minutes or until the meat is cooked to your liking, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
  5. Serve with gravy made from the pan juices, plus roast, creamed or new potatoes and vegetables.
