Serves: 4
Preparation: 20 mins
Cooking: 90 mins

Ingredients
1.5kg lamb leg
3 garlic cloves
12 rosemary sprigs
2 red onions, cut into quarters
3 oranges, cut into wedges
1 tbsp plain flour
1 cup salt-reduced beef stock
1/3 cup red wine
1 tbsp ground black pepper
20g dark chocolate, chopped
10g butter
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to season

Roast vegetables and green beans, to serve

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C. Use a small, sharp knife to cut 12 x 1cm deep slits into the top of the lamb. Press a piece of garlic and rosemary into each slit.
Place the onions and oranges around the base of the roasting pan. Place the lamb on top, drizzling with oil and seasoning well with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
Remove the lamb and vegetables from the pan and cover loosely with foil. Skim any fat from the pan, leaving 1tbsp in the bottom. Add the flour and cook on medium heat, stirring for 3-4 minutes or until bubbling.
Combine the stock, wine and lamb juices in a jug. Slowly add mixture to the pan, stirring. Cook stirring for a further 2-3 minutes. Add pepper and chocolate, stirring until melted. Add butter and stir until incorporated.
Serve the lamb and sauce with roast vegetables and green beans.

Tips
Don't forget to remove the lamb from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and allow to come to room temperature before cooking
