Method

Lamb Leg Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Rub the marinade all over the lamb leg, making sure to cover it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Roast the Lamb

    Place the marinated lamb leg on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium rare. Baste the lamb with its juices every 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rest the Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolk and minced garlic together. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until the mixture thickens.

  2. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Add lemon juice and salt to taste, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the baguette or ciabatta in half lengthwise.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer mixed greens, sliced roasted lamb, and tomato slices on the bottom half of the bread. Drizzle with the prepared aioli.

  3. 9

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the bread, cut into portions, and serve immediately.
