Ingredients

  • 1 leg of suckling pig from Ganadería Sutil Pérez (approximately 1.5 to 2 kg)
  • Water
  • Coarse salt
  • Lard (optional for browning)

Preparation Mode

  • Prepare the Oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
  • Season: Rub the lamb leg with coarse salt to taste. If you want, you can spread a little lard on the meat to help brown it.
  • Place in the Dish: Place the lamb leg in a baking dish, preferably clay. Add a glass of water to the bottom of the dish to prevent the fat that is released from burning and making it bitter.
  • Roast: Place the pan in the oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. It is important to monitor the water level at the bottom of the pan and add more if it evaporates, to maintain humidity in the oven and keep the meat juicy.
  • Serve: Once the meat is nicely browned and tender, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
  • Accompaniment Suggestion: Roasted potatoes and fresh seasonal salad.
