Swedish Mustard Roast Leg of Lamb

Anchovies are an old-time flavouring for roast lamb; their savoury and complex flavour melds with the lamb for added dimension but without any fishiness. Traditionally, Scandinavian-style anchovies in brine would be used, but Mediterranean oil-packed anchovies also work well.

Ingredients

1 leg of lamb (4 to 6 lb/2 to 2.7 kg) or 2 legs suckling lamb (2 to 3 lb/1 to 1.5 kg each)
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  black pepper
3 small cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  grainy mustard
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  sour cream
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  all-purpose flour

Preparation

Trim fat from lamb. Sprinkle all over with pepper. Cut each garlic clove into 4 pieces; cut each anchovy into 3 pieces.

Cut 12 slits in top of lamb; insert garlic and anchovy piece in each. Place in roasting pan. Set aside 1 tbsp/15 mL mustard; spread remaining mustard over top of lamb.

Roast in 325F/160C oven until lamb reaches desired doneness, about 1-1/2 hours for medium-rare or internal temperature of 150F/65C. Transfer lamb to platter; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together sour cream, remaining mustard and flour. Place roasting pan over medium heat; deglaze with 1 cup/250 mL water, using wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Reduce liquid by half; strain into saucepan. Stir in sour cream mixture; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve sauce on the side.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
