Leg of Lamb help... (how to required)

[Nash_wrx]

Right peeps, been doon the local M&S and picked up a 2.5Kg Leg of lamb as they where virtually giving them away.
Now I have never cooked one of those, and seems a touch large to fit in the slow cooker..!

So need advice/guidance on how to cook it.

many thanks in advance.

Pierce the joint multiple times and stuff the slashes with garlic, rosemary and anchovies (really!). Season and rub lightly with olive oil.

Then heat the oven to 220. Put the joint in a roasting tray and bung in the oven for 20 mins. Then turn down to 160 and cook for 75 mins (medium) or 100 mins (well done).

Rest for at least 20 mins whilst you make some gravy by deglazing the pan with red wine, reducing and adding a couple of tablespoons of redcurrant jelly.
