Studding a leg of lamb

[igglepigglegingin]

Hi, how far in advance do you stud a leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic? Are we talking an hour or a day?

I do it just before cooking.

Usually when it's just out of the fridge as the meat is firmer, then leave to warm up before cooking.

This.

Consider adding a wee sliver of anchovy into a few of the holes. Sounds minging but tastes good (I don't even like anchovy).

Thanks everyone, so when you bring it up to room temperature an hour before at the earliest. Got it.
