1. Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
2. Cut up the garlic, pull the rosemary off its stalk, and cut up the anchovies vertically into thin strips and then horizontally so they can be stuffed easily. Create holes into the leg of lamb and stuff the rosemary, garlic, and anchovy into the meat.
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper on its surface and rub thoroughly on both sides. Set that aside in a pan.
4. Mix your spices well and use to marinate all over the leg of lamb. Turn it over and marinate that part, too.
5. Cut up bits of carrots, celery, and other vegetables you have into a tray. Add the remaining rosemary and garlic, then pour in a glass of water.
6. Take up your marinated leg of lamb from the pan and drop it directly onto the oven rack. Slide the tray underneath and set your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
7. When ready, it’ll have a brownish tinge. Leave to rest for half an hour.
8. After a half-hour has passed, take out your leg of lamb and, using a carving knife, slice up parts to be served. You can eat this with gravy made from the meat juices or eat it plain.
