Eating together: lamb legs in the oven with honey, rosemary and garlic

Cooking together and eating together are two of my favourite things in life. Lots of friends at a big table, bubbles, laughter, several appetizers and one "important" dish.
Two lamb legs of about 3 kg per piece, boneless and simply seasoned with finely chopped rosemary, whole garlic cloves, salt and black pepper on the inside, honey on the outside.
A recipe from Gigi, a friend who's a fantastic cook and a big meat expert. Unluckily for us, he could not attend this dinner.

Once you've rolled the meat up and bound it with kitchen string, massage it with some honey and lay it on a big roasting tin with grill rack (this one from Ikea is fantastic). Lay the meat on the rack so that it gets evenly cooked all around.
Sprinkle the meat with some extra vergine olive oil and put them in the pre-heated oven - 100-110°C - for about 2,5 hrs. From time to time measure the internal temperature. When it reaches 55°C the lamb legs are ready, nice and juicy and rosé inside.
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes inside the roasting tin covered with tin foil and then carve thin or thick slices according to your personal preference.

I don't have a picture of the meat once ready because we were eating and because we had to carve it before it got cold.

Everybody, look surprised! :)
