Organic Leg of Lamb (On The Bone)
3-Star Winner at the Great Taste Awards 2021
Cut from the hind leg of the lamb carcass, there's nothing to beat an organic leg of lamb for robust flavour and super-succulent meat. With a thin layer of fat beneath the skin, gentle marbling throughout the meat and gelatinous connective tissue between the muscles, this is a rewarding joint that's really easy to cook and makes a really satisfying centrepiece. Leaving the bone in adds flavour as the joint cooks and you get the added benefit of oozing, melty bone marrow adding further juiciness to the meat.
You can cook the lamb with aromatic seasonings following this recipe or with lemon, garlic, feta and roasted new potatoes with this recipe.
At The Organic Butchery we believe slow
growth is best, the lambs build heart immune systems and strong skeletons. All of this influences the way their meat tastes and cooks. This means that we don't slaughter our lambs until they're at least eight months old which means your organic lamb will have well-developed muscle with a natural, palatable covering of sweet fat.
If you prefer to cook without the bone, try our boneless organic leg of lamb.

Lamb has a bit of a reputation for being a spring delicacy, but we think it should be enjoyed all year round! To make sure we have a constant supply of top-quality meat we've organised our lambing schedule to have lambs born twice a year. They'll feed from their mums for four months before moving on to a fully grass-fed system. Because they live a natural, free-range life our sheep produce substantial meat with really distinctive flavour.

There's nothing like a simple, classic roast to bring out the best in your organic leg of lamb. Begin by searing the lamb all over in a very hot pan until it's golden brown and crisping up. Add a bit of flavour by making a few holes in the skin and pressing cloves of garlic and sprigs of rosemary into the meat. Sprinkle liberally with salt (crunchy lamb skin is delicious!) then roast in a 180˚C oven for about 50 minutes per kilo. When the joint has in internal temperature of 52˚C it'll be rare, 60˚C for medium. Remove from the oven and rest, wrapped in foil for at least 15 minutes. Serve with a generous dollop of punchy mint sauce, seasonal greens and crispy roasties cooked in beef dripping.
