1 tbsp liquid honey
1 tbsp soy sauce or worcestershire sauce

Heat the oven to 220 ° C.
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and cover the leg of lamb with the marinade.
Roast in the oven for 1 hour (or ¼ hours per 500g for medium-rare), bast the meat a few times during roasting with the spicy juice.
When the meat is cooked, remove to a platter, cover with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, deglaze the juices from baking dish with 20 cl of boiling water to obtain a fragrant sauce.

Serve couscous and orange flower water soaked raisins.Or serve with sweet potato mash.
