  The best lamb EVER!! I did it with a boned leg, which was already rolled but next time I will do it with an opened-out one as I think it needed seasoning inside. Cooked it a bit longer than suggested as I wanted to shred it. Added some quince jelly and some extra wine to the sauce at the end and served it shredded on a bed of creamy mash with peas in the mash and the sauce. It was FABULOUS!!

  Excellent dish. I cooked this at the weekend, roasting the lamb on Saturday for our Sunday dinner. I forgot about the lamb being in the oven, so it actually got about 4 hours cooking instead of 3 but the results were still superb. The juice had reduced a lot but I simply put it into a small saucepan and added water. The results were great. I will be doing this one again !

  We found this incredibly greasy and fatty. Perhaps I had a very fatty leg of lamb but would much prefer to drain that fat off. The was just lamb fat mixed with wine, urgh. I do agree the lamb was super tender though.

  Fantastic Lamb !!!! leave it to seal a little bit longer than suggested and it seems to taste even better. Would highly recommend this recipe.

  Amazing! Made this for friends over Easter, served it with some roasted potatoes and aubergines and rocket salad on the side. I will make this again as soon as I can think of an occasion

  Scrumptious. Added some fresh rosemary too. Used one red onion and quite a few banana shallots. Part-cooked for 2.5 hrs the day before, then for another hour and a half on the day. Diluted what was left of the juice with more wine. Served with creamy mash and petit pois. So tender, tasty and simple to make.

  The family loved it. Did it in the slow cooker. Apart from adding some garlic I stuck to the recipe and it was delicious. Will definitely make again and serve with mash to soak up the sauce.

  Made this in my new slow-cooker, first attempt at using it and it worked! I put it on low and cooked it for about 6 hours instead of 3 hours in the oven. My only complaint is that there was too much liquid, but this could serve well as stock for a soup :) Delicious!
