Ingredients:
600g Flour
300g salt
Water
1/2 a Leg of lamb
Rosemary or juniper berries
Method:
Mix together the flour and salt and slowly add water, bringing it together to form a stiff dough.
Roll out the dough thin enough that it will encase the leg of lamb.
Make slits in the lamb with a sharp knife and stuff a little rosemary or juniper berries into the flesh.
Wrap the leg in the salt dough and cook for 2 hours (rare) up to 3 hours (well done) over hot coals, turning occasionally. Depending on conditions, this may need extra cooking time.
Remove the now burnt and blackened salt dough before serving.
