| 1 | Handful fresh sage | |
| 1 | Clove garlic | |
| Salt and freshly ground | ||
| black pepper | ||
| 1 | Lemon, juice of | |

INSTRUCTIONS
With a knife, follow the lamb bone down about 10-12cm/4" to make a 'tunnel' where you cut the meat away from the bone. Do this from the top end and bottom end. 2 Pierce the skin at an angle with a sharp pointed knife six or eight times at random around the leg. Where you have made the incisions, open them up a bit by poking your fingers down them to make a bit of space. 3 With a pestle and mortar, smash up half the sage with the garlic and 1 tsp salt. When pulped, add the lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, rest of the sage and the rosemary, roughly chopped. Stuff the mixture into all the incisions and gaps you have made with the knife. 4 Stuff the pancetta deep into the gaps along the bone and incisions. Season with salt and cook in a preheated oven at 225c/425f/Gas 7 until cooked. Converted by MC_Buster. Recipe by: The Naked Chef Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
