Please could someone give me an approximate cooking time and temperature for a half leg of lamb? Many thanks

half a leg I would go 200C for 40 min if you want it tender and pink inside or 180C 1.5 hours covered for it to fall apart

Today, August 16th, decided to make this again. With a tweak. I have decided to try cooking in my PitBoss Austin XL pellet grill and smoker Traeger Apple blend pellets. Pre heated to 400c, then allowed to cool to 150c before putting lamb on the top rack over a water bath. Aim is 5hrs at 150, then reverse sear at the end. No idea if it will work

Rested at the end for 50 minutes in greaseproof paper and foil. Absolutely superb, moist, full of flavour and extra smokiness from the apple wood pellets.

I made a couple of tweaks. I used shank end of mutton, and instead of using paprika to pimp up the red I used 1 tsp of beetroot powder. Marinated 24 hours. 3 hours covered at 150c, then 25 minutes uncovered and honey drizzle at 200c. Absolutely delicious, and pulled apart easily.

Made this tonight with your turmeric roast potatoes and the celebration cabbage. Knocked up a Bombay gravy and it was a great Indian Sunday lunch .

The video mentions adding two teaspoons of turmeric. But it isn’t listed in the ingredients.

A simple marinade. Left it in the fridge for 48 hours before cooking. It was star of the show. Everyone loved it. So much nicer than any tandoori I’ve tried before. No heat just a beautiful flavour
