Suggest a better descriptionPreheat the oven to 300. Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, carefully make deep incisions all over the lamb leg so that it can absorb as much of the marinade flavoring as possible.
Put the butter into a small bowl, add the dry spices, thyme and crushed garlic and blend thoroughly until the mixture forms a paste. Rub this paste all over the lamb leg, pushing it into the incisions you made and working it into the leg as much as possible. Place the lamb leg onto the prepared roasting pan and roast for 5 hours, basting the lamb with its juices every 20 to 30 minutes or so to ensure it stays moist and hydrated.
Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven, cover it with foil, and allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the cumin dipping salt. Put the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat and toast, shaking the pan now and then, until they release an aroma, then grind with a mortar and pestle. Combine the ground cumin seeds with the sea salt and cinnamon and place the mixture in a small dish that is suitable for dipping the meat into.
When rested, serve the lamb leg on a platter. The flesh will be moist and succulent and will literally fall off the bone.
