Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine anchovies, butter, and salt. Beat together until anchovies are broken up and a smooth butter has formed. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the salt all over the lamb leg.
- Using a sharp knife, make diagonal slits across the top about ½ inch deep, then score in the other direction in a crosshatch pattern.
- Divide the rosemary sprigs into tufts of three or four leaves. At the intersection of each crosshatch, insert rosemary sprigs and a thin slice of garlic.
- Spread the anchovy butter over the top.
- Place the prepared lamb leg into the Instant Pot and pour in the water or chicken stock.
- PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 30 minutes. Allow the pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining steam.
- Discard any broth or juices collected in the pot. Return the lamb to the pot and insert the air fryer lid. AIR FRY at 400°F for 5 minutes, or until the lamb gets a nice golden color.
- Allow the lamb to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
- Serve with steamed golden potatoes, mash, or greens. Enjoy!
