Directions
Season the leg of lamb with pepper and aromatic herbs. Slide the slices of garlic under the skin. Let it rest in a cool place for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 240°C (Th 8) and put in a dish with the oil. When it is very hot, sear the roast on all sides. Remove it from the oven after 15 minutes and let cool slightly. Bring the oven temperature to 180°C (Th 6). Pour over the lamb half of the lemon juice and yogurt. Return the roast to the oven for 40 minutes and add the remaining lemon juice and yogurt halfway through cooking, when returning the lamb. Remove the lamb from the oven, pour a glass of warm water in the pan and mix with pan juices. Cover the lamb with aluminum foil and let it sit for 10 minutes before carving. For example: Serve with fusilli
