   Peel two garlic cloves and slice finely into sticks. Slice the dried apricots into fine sticks as well and mix with the garlic. Make small incisions in the lamb leg with a sharp knife and insert the sticks into them. Place the lamb leg in a roasting pan, brush with olive oil, and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes.
