One can find the translation of Asbab al-Nuzul (i.e. the contexts and occasions of the Revelation of the Qur'an)into English by 'AlÄ« ibn Ahmad al-WÄhidÄ« (d. 468/1075), who is considered to be the earliest scholar of the branch of the Qur'anic sciences known as AsbÄb al-NuzÅ«l.
Put the lamb inside an oven bag and place in a roasting dish. Secure the bag and pierce several holes in the top of the bag to allow steam to escape. Bake the lamb in the preheated oven; a 2 kg leg of lamb will take 2 hours 40 minutes to cook.
The size of your leg of lamb depends on how many you are cooking for. A 6 pound (2.70kg) leg of lamb will feed about 8 people so you can judge by this what weight you will need.Your butcher will even sell you half a leg if it is just for 2 people, so ask him for what you need. On the other hand if you buy a larger one you will have lots of meals from it. Pre-set your oven to 230Â°C (450Â°F/Gas 8). Â· Brush the lamb with melted butter or use a mix of butter and olive oil. Â· Place the lamb in the roasting tin and put into the pre-heated oven for about 15 minutes. Â· Turn and baste the lamb every 15 minutes, or until it starts to brown on all sides.
