Ingredients
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • ⅓ cup oregano leaves
  • ¼ cup (45gms) brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2kg lamb leg, bone in
  • 1kg Dutch Cream or other waxy potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 8 garlic cloves 
  • 1 sprig bay leaves
  • ½ cup (125ml) white wine
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and cracked pepper
​
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the garlic, anchovy and oregano in a mortar and pound with a pestle until smooth. Add the sugar and vinegar and mix to combine. 
  2. Place in a large bowl with the lamb and toss to coat. Place the potato, garlic bulbs and bay leaves on 2 large sheets of aluminium foil lined with 2 large sheets of non-stick baking paper. 
  3. Place in a large roasting tray. Top with the lamb and wine, drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the paper and foil to enclose tightly. Cook for 3 hours or until lamb is tender. 
  4. Open the paper and foil and cook for a further 15 minutes or until golden brown and caramelised. Serves 4-6.
