Leg of lamb roasted slowly in white wine and fresh herbs
It is a holiday weekend where I live in Spain, and while I wasn't really planning making anything special this year, yesterday I went to the local butchers and there was some really great-looking lamb for sale. So I decided to buy a leg and prepare it today, San Juan Day, but in totally low-maintenance mode, i.e. the whole meal cooks itself basically. If you are going to do this recipe, when you buy the leg of lamb, ask the butcher to make some deep cuts meat to bone (or do that yourself if you have a butcher-sharp knife at home) so that you can stuff them with tasty herbs and ingredients which helps to infuse the whole joint with flavour. Hope you like it :-)

Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut into snall bite-size pieces and distribute aroind the dish. Put the sprigs of thyme in the cuts. Add the rosemary leaves and the dijon mustard to the glass of wine and mix well
