Sean's Leg of Mutton

Ingredients:

2x50g tins of anchovies
Half a pack of butter
Half a bottle of white wine
4 large cloves of garlic
Rosemary
A lemon

Preparation:

1. Peel the cloves of garlic and slice them into three, lengthways.
2. Make a dozen incisions in the meaty side of the leg and push a piece of garlic, half an anchovy fillet and a small sprig of rosemary into each hole.
3. Cream the butter and the rest of the anchovies together and smear all over the joint.
4. Put the joint into your roasting container of choice, squeeze over the lemon juice and season with pepper.
5. Tuck any spare rosemary and the spent lemon halves in round the edges.
6. Add the wine to the tin.
7. Put into a preheated oven at 220C for 15 minutes, then turn down to 180C and roast for about another hour, depending on size of leg and how well done you like it.
8. While the meat is resting and being carved give the stuff in the roaster a quick whisk on the hob and serve it as a sauce/gravy.
