Roast Leg of Lamb

www.biggreenegg.co.uk

Roast Lamb as never before. The flavours of this marinade are fabulous and the slow roasting in the air tight EGG ensures succulent results everytime. The deep cross hatching on the lamb increases the surface area of meat to absorb the marinade. After cooking you get large break away sections of highly flavoured lamb goodness.
