Method:
Make slits in the lamb and insert the garlic and rosemary into the slits
Make a paste with olive oil, salt, pepper, ground cumin and lemon juice, rub all over the lamb
Heat a large frying pan and sear the lamb all over, remove from the pan and cool
Place the prepared leg of lamb onto the dough and enclose it by wrapping the dough around the lamb and pressing it together to seal
Let the bone stick out
If you wish you can decorate the wrapped lamb with dough off-cuts, fresh rosemary and half heads of garlic
Place the lamb onto a baking tray and bake at 180°C for 20min, then turn the oven down to 150°C and bake for 3hours
Take the lamb to the table and break it open, remove and carve
