1. Make deep incisions with the point of a sharp knife about 2.5 cm
apart all over the lamb. Into each hole, place a sliver of garlic
and a small sprig of rosemary, held together by wrapping around a
sliver of anchovy fillet. Place the lamb in the fridge overnight or
for at least 4 hrs to allow the flavours to develop.
2. Heat oven to 200 °C/fan 180 °C/gas 6. Season the lamb all ever
and smear it with a fat of your choice. Place the sliced vegetables
in the bottom of a roasting tray with a few sprigs of rosemary, the
remaining garlic cloves and a little more fat. Place the lamb on top
of the vegetables and cook in the oven for 20 mins until turning
brown.
3. Reduce oven to 180 °C/fan 160 °C/gas 4. Cook for a further 1-1/2
hrs depending on how rare you enjoy your meat, spooning over the fat
every 20 mins or so. Remove lamb from the oven to rest for at least
15 mins (this helps the meat become tender) while you make the gravy.
4. For the gravy, drain the fat from the roasting tray, leaving
behind the vegetables and meat juices. Place the tray over a medium
heat and pour in the red wine. Bring to the boil, scraping all the
crispy bits that have caramelised in the bottom of the pan. Boil for
3-4 mins, then add the stock and redcurrant jelly and cook for
another 5 mins until slightly thickened. Season and strain into a
gravy boat to serve alongside the lamb.
:ANTONY’S TIPS
:If you like your gravy nice and thick, mix together equal
quantities of softened butter and flour (about 1 tbsp each), then
whisk into the sauce and cook 5 mins more until it has thickened.
