There are many versions for making baked lamb at home, but this is the easiest and quickest. We are not going to complicate our lives and we are going to get to the point, which is what matters. In addition, we will not use spices or garlic, which on other occasions do appear, today we seek to enhance only the flavor of the lamb.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160ºC.
Step 2
Lightly moisten the lamb with water using a small brush. Salt the lamb with coarse salt and massage it with both hands to spread the salt all over the leg.
Step 3
Fill the oven tray with a glass and a half of water. On top we put a rack and on it the lamb with the skin facing down. In no case the lamb can be in contact with the water because it will cook and we want to avoid that. In the video you will see very well and visually explained this step.
Step 3
We put the lamb in the oven at 160ºC for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Every 20 minutes we open the oven and baste with its own juices.
Step 4
After 1 hour and 20 minutes, turn the oven up to 180ºC and leave it for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the lamb and turn it over so that the skin is facing up. We put it back in and we have it 30 minutes at 180ºC. Keep an eye on it, if it is crispy before we can take it out, if after 30 minutes it is not crispy it can be more time without problem until it is crispy and ready.
Step 6
Prepare the sauce. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat in a saucepan. We add all the game that has released the lamb and let reduce about 30 minutes over medium heat. We use it to baste the lamb.
Notes
We have prepared a easy baked lamb. This we can complicate it as much as we want, we can add garlic and rosemary to the water to give it another aroma, or we can play with the sauce and make it more complex. Here everyone is free, but this one we have shown you is the easiest version and it looks wonderful.
We can serve it with baked potatoes or even with mashed potatoes that we can then drizzle with the lamb sauce.
