Leg of lamb is always welcome on an entertaining menu, and a boneless roast takes away any worries about carving. Anchovies are a classic partner to lamb; they melt onto the surface, adding a lively but not at all fishy flavour (omit if desired). Serve with rice pilaf or roasted potatoes and a Belgian-endive-and-watercress salad.

Roast in 325°F (160°C) oven, basting often and adding up to 1 cup (250 mL) water if necessary to maintain level, until meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 140°F (60°C) for rare, about 1-1/2 hours, or to desired doneness.
