Wish I had a pound for every time I have been asked for this recipe. Sauce is incredible, people don't believe it's basically a tin of tomatoes, the transformation is amazing. Thanks Barney, lots of grateful fenlanders here! I serve with Greek salad, waitrose grand mange blanc, sometimes spiced butterbeans, and lots of red. Yum!

Absolutely brilliant, everyone in the family prefares it to standard roast lamb dinner. Cook the potatoes separately in duck fat.

Cooked this today. Gorgeous and sooo easy. Added rosemary and carrots . Followed with a summer fruit crumble with home made vanilla ice cream. Top Sunday lunch

My girlfriend and I cooked this a few days ago and it was very, very tasty - one word of caution though: we cooked a 2.4kg leg and even with a smaller joint most of the meat was medium rare, but around the bone there was still quite a lot of blood and pink meat. This wasn't a problem for us, but those who do not like their meat too pink should probably add a little bit on to the cooking time.

Really great recipe, I bulked out the sauce with another can of tomatoes and a big handful of olives. So easy to do and looks and tastes like you have spent ages on it.

Simply delicious! One of the best roast legs of lamb recipes ever! Will do again soon!

Made this for Sunday dinner, really enjoyed it the lamb was melt in your mouth sunshine on a plate :0)

Absolutely delicious. one of our favourite roasts. Make a great change from the usual boring roast lamb, mint sauce, veg, spuds and gravy.

Have made this many times and never had a dissapointed guest. Great recipe many thanks !

Oh my goodness, I cooked this for yesterday's Easter Sunday lunch soooooo delicious! Actually my mouth is watering just remembering how tasty the lamb was. Delicious tomato sauce as well. I served this alongside the simple Cos salad as recommended by the recipe. May need a bit of bread to mop up every last bit of that sauce;)

you must try this - one of the best meals I have ever eaten!! My boyf used the word phenomenal

So i bought a beautiful lamb leg and i followed the recipe including setting the appropriate temperature...... So i checked after an hour and 15 minutes and it was still bloody as hell! So now its been close to 3 hours and its still not done! So basically my anniversary dinner has gone to shit thanks to following this recipe.

This tasted fabulous, cooked for a relaxing meal with friends and it got lots of compliments. Served with Greek salad, the sauce has a lovely fresh taste. Leftovers were turned into lamb rogan Josh also found on this site.

Gorgeous!!

Made this with 2 smallish gigots of lamb, & left out the tomatoes at the end. It was picture-perfect, tasted wonderfully amazing, & husband gave supreme compliment: "you can make this any time for my parents..."

This was actually the first lamb dish i cooked and it certainly wont be the last. Husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this dish. We served it with roasted root vegetables which went well.

If you don't have the tomatoes or olives i wouldn't worry, we thought it wasn't necessary anyways.

This was fantastic I cooked it for Easter Sunday with roasted peppers and Roast carrot & bean salad with feta(recipe also on this site).So easy to make and fed 9 of us really good even the kids ate without a complaint.I am not a fan of olives but the sauce was lovely.I then stripped the rest of the lamb and added to a sautéed onion and pepper with the remaining sauce and stirred through pasta then topped with feta another great leftover dish for the family.This is most certainly a firm family favourite to be added to the family selection.
