Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6).
  2. Crush the garlic with the salt, cumin, paprika, pepper and lemon zest, then mix with the olive oil and lemon juice.
  3. Make a few cuts in the meat and rub it generously with the spice paste, slipping some under the skin.
  4. Place the meat in an ovenproof dish on a bed of sliced onion.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  6. Remove the foil, baste with the cooking juices and continue cooking for 45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
  7. Check doneness: the meat should pull away easily from the bone and be golden.
  8. Rest for 10 minutes under foil, then carve and serve with the cooking juices.
