Colin Fassnidge and Anthony Puharich get retro with a cut that’s fallen out of fashion, bringing it back with a crowd-pleasing share dish.

1.5kg lamb leg
1.5kg desiree potatoes, thinly sliced (we used a mandoline)
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 rosemary sprig, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock

Anchovy and herb butter

80g unsalted butter, softened
2 tbs marjoram leaves, plus extra to serve
1 tbs chopped rosemary leaves
1 tbs baby capers
6 pitted kalamata olives
2 anchovies

Method

1.

Place the lamb leg on a plate. Rub 1 tsp salt flakes into the skin. Chill in the fridge, uncovered, for 2-3 days. Preheat oven to 240°C. For the anchovy and herb butter, place all ingredients in the bowl of a small food processor and whiz until a coarse paste.
2.

Place potato, oil and rosemary in a large bowl. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat, then arrange in a large baking dish. Using a sharp knife, make holes in the lamb.
3.

Rub lamb with the anchovy and herb butter, pushing some butter into each hole. Place lamb on potatoes in the centre of the tray. Pour stock over potatoes. Roast for 10 minutes.
4.

Reduce oven to 140°C. Roast for 4 hours or until lamb is tender and potatoes start to caramelise around the edges. Serve lamb and potatoes sprinkled with extra marjoram and rosemary.
