Step-by-step directions

The day before:
Heat the olive oil to 40°C, turn off the heat, add the aromatics, then cover with a lid to infuse
The next morning:

1- Strain the infusion through a fine strainer and keep only the scented oil

2- Make small incisions on the leg of lamb, then brush the scented oil with a brush, then put the leg of lamb in the refrigerator for 2 hours like this

3- Cook in the oven, basting constantly. At the end of cooking, if there is a little of this marinade left, mix it with a spoonful of honey then pour over the leg of lamb and put it for 5 minutes in the grill position: this will perfume the house.
