; approximately 1.5kg

30 ml Fresh mint; roughly chopped
; (2tbsp)
4 Sprigs fresh rosemary
3 Cloves garlic
15 ml Honey; (1tbsp)
Salt and freshly ground

Cut deep slits in the skin of the lamb. Place in a large nonmetallic dish.

Pare the rind from half the orange and cut into thin strips. Store in a
plastic food bag until required.

Finely grate the remaining rind and place in a bowl with the freshly
squeezed orange juice, wine, mint, half the rosemary, 1 clove of crushed
garlic and the honey. Season and mix well.

Pour over the lamb and leave covered in the refrigerator to marinate for
several hours or preferably overnight.

Line a large roasting tin with foil and put the marinated lamb in the tin.

Cut the remaining garlic cloves into slivers and insert, with the rest of
the rosemary and the reserved orange peel, into the slits in the lamb. Pour
the remaining marinade over the top.

Place in the centre of a preheated oven at 180ºC, 350ºF, gas mark 4 for 1
hour. Baste well, then loosely cover with foil and continue to cook for a
further 3045 minutes, depending on the size of the joint and how well done
you like the lamb.

Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes before serving

NOTES : This tangy, rich marinade not only imparts a delicious flavour to
the lamb but also gives the meat a beautiful glazed appearance. Serve with
new potatoes and fresh vegetables.
