Greek Leg of Lamb

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine anchovies, butter, and salt. Beat together until anchovies are broken up and a smooth butter has formed. Set aside.

Step 2

Sprinkle the salt all over the lamb leg.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, make diagonal slits across the top about ½ inch deep, then score in the other direction in a crosshatch pattern.

Step 4

Divide the rosemary sprigs into tufts of three or four leaves. At the intersection of each crosshatch, insert rosemary sprigs and a thin slice of garlic.

Step 5

Spread the anchovy butter over the top.

Step 6

Place the prepared lamb leg into the Instant Pot and pour in the water or chicken stock.

Step 7

Pressure Cook on High for 30 Minutes. Allow the pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining steam.

Step 8

Discard any broth or juices collected in the pot. Return the lamb to the pot and insert the air fryer lid. Air Fry at 400°F for 5 Minutes, or until the lamb gets a nice golden color.

Step 9

Allow the lamb to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

Step 10

Serve with steamed golden potatoes, mash, or greens. Enjoy!
