Balsamic Thyme Roast Lamb Marinade
This quick and easy marinade with subtle flavours makes for such a lovely roast meal! We have chosen to use a large leg of lamb to make a big batch, so if your leg of lamb is smaller or larger you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. You may wish to use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked to your preference.
