ingredient
- 4.5-lb. (2 kg) leg of lamb
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced thin
- 4 tsp. (20 mL) brown sugar*
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) maple syrup*
- 1 big orange, juice and grated zest
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles ground coriander*
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles ground cumin*
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) Irresistibles ground cinnamon*
- Pepper to taste

Preparation
- Bone, trim and tie up leg of lamb. Make incisions in lamb and slip sliced garlic into them. In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except water, together. In a roasting pan, place lamb and smear all over with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, basting meat occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Roast lamb in marinade, uncovered for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°F (160°C). Add water and cover meat with foil.
- Roast another 2-2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 140°F (60°C). Let lamb stand 10 minutes before carving. Serve with carrots and green and yellow zucchini.
