Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Finely chop the garlic and the anchovy fillets, mix together with the finely chopped oregano, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and rub the entire piece of lamb leg, top, bottom, and inside, with it. Tie with four tying strings. Drizzle some olive oil into a baking dish, place the lamb leg in it, and lay thin slices of butter on top.

Place in the preheated oven at 180 °C for 1 hour. Baste regularly with the juices that come out. Let it rest for a moment and then slice.

Tear the bread into pieces, place on a baking sheet, drizzle generously with oil, and bake for 5 minutes in the oven until crispy. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cumin.

Tear the romaine lettuce into pieces on a plate. Cut the tomato, cucumber, and spring onion finely and distribute them over the plate. Chop the herbs roughly, beat half of the pomegranate over the salad. Squeeze the other half with the citrus juicer and catch the juice. Mix the garlic, vinegar, and lemon juice with the pomegranate juice and season with pepper and salt. Pour over the salad. Gently mix in the crispy bread and olives. Sprinkle the chopped herbs on top.
