Cooking

- Arrange the potato and onion slices at the bottom of a roasting pan, placing the lamb leg on top.
- Pour the beer into the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the lamb in the oven, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices, for 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Plating & Serving
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes.
- Slice the lamb and serve it on a tray or return it to the roasting pan with the potatoes and onions.
