1 large leek, trimmed and cut |
800 g tinned whole tomatoes |
2 bay leaves |

4 ripe tomatoes, quartered |
750 ml red wine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Rub leg with oil, salt and pepper.
3. Put into roasting tray.
4. Using a sharp knife make small incisions all over the lamb and poke rosemary leaves and quartered garlic cloves inches.
5. Add rest of garlic cloves, onions, carrots, celery, leeks and fresh tomatoes to the tray.
6. Tuck remaining herbs under the meat.
7. Pour tinned tomatoes over the top, followed by the wine.
8. Cover tray tightly with double layer of foil.
