Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 small leg of lamb
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 onion
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cups stock (I used chicken)
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig fresh oregano or marjoram
  • 2-4 large fresh bay leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
  1. Season the leg of lamb liberally with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Roast at 500 degrees for about 20 minutes to brown.
  2. While the leg of lamb is browning, roughly chop the onion and place it in the bottom of the Instant Pot inner pot. Add the lemon zest and juice and the stock. Lay the rosemary, oregano, and bay over the top. Roughly chop the garlic and sprinkle it over the other ingredients.
  3. Remove the browned leg of lamb from the oven and place it in the Instant Pot. Seal and set to the pressure cook setting on high for 90 minutes.
  4. Let steam escape naturally, then open the Instant Pot. Remove the lamb to a cutting board to slice, and strain the cooking juices, discarding the solids. You can refrigerate until the next day if you want to skim off the fat, or simple pour some of the jus over the lamb to serve.
