The weekend is just a couple of hours away. We’re all looking to kick back, enjoy some good food and refreshments. Talking about good food, here’s an Anchovy Roasted Leg Of Lamb Recipe by Woolworths to keep things interesting and delicious over the weekend.

For this roast, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Leg of lamb

Rosemary sprigs

Extra virgin olive oil

Garlic cloves

Verjuice

Almonds

Walnuts

Parsley

Basil leaves

Anchovy fillets

Black pepper

Begin by preheating the oven to 180ºC. Rub lamb with olive oil, rosemary, and generously with salt. Roll each piece of garlic with an anchovy fillet then make 12 neat incisions in the skin of the lamb and insert anchovy with rolled up garlic and sprinkle with rosemary leaves. Place lamb in roasting pan and roast for 30 mins. Turn the oven down to 160ºC, turn the leg over and cook for 30 mins. Turn leg over and cook for 30 mins. Turn oven off, open the door slightly and leave in oven for another 30 mins before removing from oven and roasting pan and letting it rest for another 30 mins.

For gravy, skim the oil, add Verjuice and simmer to reduce. Add a knob of butter if you like. For the green pesto, preheat the oven to 200ºC and roast nuts separately until golden brown then remove and cool down. Use a dishcloth and rub the walnuts to remove bitter skin. In a processor blend nuts, garlic, parsley, basil, anchovies, salt and pepper with a little oil until coarse. Add the remaining oil and Verjuice and blend into a smooth or coarse pesto and add more Verjuice if necessary. Finally serve pesto on the side or spooned over lamb.
