Drizzle the leg of lamb on both sides with olive oil, season with salt and sprinkle generously with poultry seasoning (I used about a teaspoon per side).
Spread fresh rosemary sprigs across large roasting pan, place the seasoned leg(s) of lamb on top and spread the rest of the ingredients around, apart from the honey. Pour in broth/stock. Take one lemon wedge and drizzle it over the lamb.
Cook at 320 Fahrenheit (160 Celsius) covered for 3 hours, then remove the foil and slow roast for 30 minutes uncovered until the skin is nice brown and crispy.
When ready, wrap in aluminum foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
If you have a larger lamb, add more time to the “covered cooking time”. As a rule of thumb: add extra 30 minutes per 1 pound (1/2 kilo). That being said, cook until fork-tender. Test with a fork if needed before you take the lamb out.
For homemade poultry seasoning: mix together 4 teaspoons thyme, 4 teaspoons sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 1 teaspoon black pepper & 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg. All herbs dried! This yields 4 tablespoons of seasoning. You might need more or less than in the recipe, depending on the size of the lamb you bought.
Use as many as you like: you can serve them as side and/or use them for gravy.
Either chicken, vegetable, turkey broth or water can be used. This can be increased to 1 cup.
Cooking time will vary, depending on the size of lamb you use. It may take up to 4-5 hours for a large piece of meat.
Store any leftovers in a ziploc back or airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 2 days. They reheat well in a skillet, with a little oil.
